13,702 Businesses For Sale

According to Bsale's September 2026 Quarter Market Report, the average asking price of businesses for sale in Melbourne is $610,978, while Melbourne businesses marked as sold had an average asking price of $359,631. 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 needs a starting budget of roughly $110,000 to $180,000 at Melbourne's average sold asking price. Also budget for legal fees, due diligence costs, lease transfer costs and enough working capital to cover your first 90 days of trading

Bsale data reflects listing activity on the Bsale platform only, not all business sales in Australia. Asking prices may include stock, plant and equipment or property. Figures are a general guide and not financial advice. Sold figures reflect listings marked as sold on Bsale and the asking price displayed at the time, not confirmed sale prices. Not all businesses are marked sold when removed from Bsale.

Check three things before you commit. The financials (at least three years of profit and loss statements and BAS), the legal position (the commercial lease, licences and any council orders) and the operations (staff, systems and equipment). Ask for the information memorandum early, and have an accountant confirm the owner's earnings against the bank statements.

To achieve the highest price, ensure your financials are 'bank-ready' and your operations are fully documented. You can choose to list directly on Bsale to reach our database of buyers or engage a licensed business broker to manage the valuation and negotiation process for you.
