━━━━   KEY CONSIDERATIONS

What to Consider Before Buying

Every business and industry is different. Understanding the following factors can help you assess whether an opportunity suits your objectives.

01

Earnings & Financial Performance

Review historical financial statements, maintainable earnings, expenses and cash flow. Consider whether financial performance is sustainable.

02

Lease & Premises

Examine lease terms, rental costs, location, permitted use, renewal options and any landlord consent requirements.

03

Staff & Operations

Assess staffing levels, employee entitlements, management capability, operating systems and the time required to manage the business.

04

Compliance & Regulation

Identify industry-specific licensing, registrations, regulatory obligations and approvals needed to operate or transfer the business.

05

Owner Dependence

Consider how much the business relies on the current owner's skills, relationships and daily involvement, and whether these can be transferred.

These are general considerations. Buyers should undertake independent due diligence and obtain appropriate legal, accounting and financial advice before committing to a purchase.
