The price of cafes can vary based on their profit, location and potential. In Australia, there are cafes for sale from $30,000 - $600,000+. The type of cafe you buy will depend on what you can afford, your business experience and where you want the business to be located. The cheaper cafes tend to be owner-operated and may require you to work full time in the business, whilst the more expensive cafe's tend to have a management team in place.

When you're looking to own a cafe there are a couple of options. You can either start from scratch or buy a cafe.

The main benefits of buying a cafe include;

• Ability to see financial history so you can predict future sales and income
• Obtaining a desirable location or a good lease
• Repeat clientele
• Established team
• Established suppliers, such as quality coffee roasters. 
• Established Kitchen and Dining (less expensive than a new fit-out). 

You may find the costs involved in buying a cafe are better than the costs of fitting out a cafe from scratch. An established cafe has an income from day 1, so you aren't spending time on fit-out, marketing, hiring team members and sourcing clients. If desired, you have the option to re-brand, change the menu, update the dining area. 

Buying a cafe is a popular choice for business buyers. If you are looking to purchase a cafe it's important you have a solid understanding of how a cafe operates as well as business management. One of the biggest challenges of owning a cafe is staff management and ensuring the quality of your food and coffee is consistent. Online reviews and social media are major marketing channels for cafes and ensuring you are well-liked can ensure the success of your cafe.

Consistency is the key with any cafe, so having a good understanding of staff management, the ability to hire the right staff, train effectively and deliver on the food, coffee and customer satisfaction is at the core of being a cafe owner. Basically, anyone can buy a cafe if they have the financial ability, but running a successful cafe will take skill and hard work. 

If you are looking to sell your cafe, there are a number of steps involved, from getting the business ready for sale through to settlement.
