Imagine this…
Almost every sale is paid at the point of purchase or delivery.

With around 98% of revenue paid upfront, this business operates in a class of its own when it comes to working capital efficiency.

Let that sink in. Nearly every single sale is immediate cash in hand.

For an incoming owner, that means:

• APPROXIMATELY 98% OF REVENUE RECEIVED AT POINT OF SALE OR DELIVERY
• MINIMAL TRADE DEBTOR EXPOSURE
• EFFICIENT WORKING CAPITAL MODEL
• With an established customer database numbering in the thousands, and a diversified customer base, the business benefits from strong day-to-day cash conversion and ongoing customer loyalty.

In an industry where people seek knowledge, escape, and connection – this bookshop delivers all 3, profitably. Books aren't discretionary spending for true readers; they're essential purchases that happen regardless of economic conditions.


ESTABLISHED PERFORMANCE. STRONG RETURNS. FUTURE UPSIDE.

• FY2026 Revenue: $1,3338,291
• FY2026 Adjusted Net Profit: $250,340
• FY2026 Gross Profit: $632,639
• FY2026 Gross Margin: 47%
• MULTIPLE SAFETY NETS PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT

Smart buyers look for businesses that minimise risk, and this opportunity delivers protection on multiple fronts:

Asset-Backed Security: Approximately 56% of the purchase price is represented by tangible assets in stock and equipment, providing immediate value and potential tax efficiencies through stock deductions and equipment depreciation.

Lease Certainty: A secure long-term lease until 2030 with renewal options and competitive rental terms ensures predictable operating costs and protects against sudden overhead increases.

Customer Diversification: The strong customer base numbering in the thousands spans locals, tourists, and organisational/bulk/online clients, protecting revenue from seasonal or regional fluctuations. And even better, no 1 customer represents more than 1% of sales.


BUILT FOR LIFESTYLE, NOT BURNOUT

The Lifestyle Business You've Been Searching For…

The $250,340 adjusted net profit for FY2026 is based on just one owner working an average of approximately 40 hours per week — mostly handling admin, overseeing operations, and answering emails.

The nature of this business opens the door to incredible lifestyle perks: tax-deductible travel to book fairs, publisher events, and supplier meetings; advance reading copies of bestsellers before public release; author meet-and-greets; and industry connections across the literary world. For book lovers, this isn't just a business – it's a dream lifestyle with serious profit attached.

No experience required.
Everything is systemised, documented, and ready to go.

This is a turnkey opportunity for immediate profitability. A new owner can simply step in and enjoy proven profits with minimal effort, or get more involved for higher profits.


POSITIONED FOR THE FUTURE IN A PLACE YOU'LL LOVE TO LIVE

Momentum-Driven Growth

Few ventures are better positioned to harness both domestic and international market forces. The South West's recognition as one of Australia's fastest-growing lifestyle regions, driven by population inflow from the city, has strengthened its local economy and spending power.

Tourism strengthens the unstoppable flow. For business owners, it's a rare mix of lifestyle and profitability, where enjoying life and building wealth happen in the same postcode.

The lifestyle benefits are undeniable, and they're backed by solid business fundamentals that ensure this lifestyle purchase is a smart financial investment.


A RARE COMBINATION OF PROFIT AND POTENTIAL

Here's where it gets exciting for an ambitious new owner: significant growth opportunities remain largely untapped.

Online Sales? <5% of revenue
Bulk and Organisational Orders? <2% of revenue

These aren't speculative opportunities, they're existing demand channels that could be expanded with focused effort. The current owners have built a solid foundation; a new owner could unlock substantial additional revenue streams without disrupting the core business model.


WHY SELL?

With strong returns, low owner input, and a long lease, why sell now?

Simply put: the owners are ready to step back after years of profit and stability. This is not a distressed sale. It's a rare opportunity to step into a thriving operation with everything in place.
