100 Businesses For Sale in Cairns City QLD 4870

According to Bsale's September 2026 Quarter Market Report, the national average asking price of businesses for sale is $740,955, while businesses marked as sold had an average asking price of $497,740. 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 average sold asking price needs a starting budget of roughly $150,000 to $250,000. 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.

Before you commit, check 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, have an accountant confirm the owner's earnings against the bank statements, and have a commercial solicitor review the contract before you sign.
