Why buy with Benchmark

Why buy a business in Melbourne with Benchmark?

Benchmark brings 8 offices across Australia, 27+ years in business, 50+ specialist brokers and 5,000+ successful transactions to every purchase. Our Melbourne team works from South Melbourne and lists businesses across Melbourne and Victoria. Here is what that means when you buy.

Melbourne and Victoria listings in one place

Browse businesses for sale across Melbourne and Victoria, from CBD laneway cafes to established retail and medical businesses in the suburbs. Register as a buyer and you will also hear about private sales that are never advertised.

Clear information before you commit

Each listing shows the asking price and key details. Once you sign a confidentiality agreement, our brokers provide the financials and supporting documents so your accountant and solicitor can check them during due diligence.

Brokers who know the market

Our Melbourne brokers know local trading conditions, and our specialist divisions cover industries such as hospitality, medical and dental, hair and beauty, and service stations, so you deal with someone who understands the business you are buying.

FAQs about buying a business in Melbourne

The listings above show the businesses Benchmark currently has for sale in Melbourne and across Victoria. Some owners prefer to sell without advertising, so our Melbourne brokers also handle private sales. Register as a buyer and they will contact you when a business that matches your brief comes up. If you are open to regional Victoria, the Victoria page covers the whole state.

Our Melbourne listings cover hospitality, retail, professional services, health and education, from CBD laneway cafes and the dining strips of Fitzroy, Richmond and St Kilda to established retail and medical businesses in the eastern suburbs. If you are after a particular industry, our specialist listings for Victoria narrow the search.

Victoria does not charge stamp duty on goodwill, stock or other business assets when you buy a business on its own. Duty applies when the purchase includes Victorian land, such as the freehold, along with any plant and equipment sold with that land. It is charged at land transfer duty rates of up to 6.5% and is usually paid at settlement.

Price depends on profit, not turnover. Compare the asking price with the adjusted profit shown in the listing, then check the financials, lease and staffing during due diligence. If you want an independent figure before you commit, Benchmark can prepare a formal business valuation in Melbourne.

Yes. Our Melbourne team works from 80 Market Street, South Melbourne, and can take you through any listing, explain the figures, arrange inspections and let you know when new businesses are coming to market. If you would rather have someone searching, assessing and negotiating only on your behalf, our buyer’s agency service does exactly that.

Yes. Our Melbourne brokers sell businesses across Melbourne and Victoria, marketing them confidentially to qualified buyers. Start with a confidential, no-obligation conversation, or use our appraisal calculator for an indicative price range first.
