How much does it cost to buy a business in Brisbane?
According to Bsale's September 2026 Quarter Market Report, the average asking price of businesses for sale in Brisbane is $825,819, and Queensland businesses marked as sold had an average asking price of $469,208. Prices range from small owner-operated businesses under $100,000 to established enterprises worth several million dollars.
Most lenders require a cash deposit of 30% to 50% of the purchase price, so a typical acquisition at the Queensland average sold asking price needs a starting budget of roughly $140,000 to $235,000. Also budget for legal fees, due diligence costs, lease transfer costs and enough working capital to cover your first 90 days of trading.
Asking prices are the prices advertised by sellers and may include stock, plant and equipment or property. Sold figures are the asking price displayed when a listing was marked as sold on Bsale, not the final sale price, which is rarely disclosed.
