The survey uncovers some valuable insights into what entrepreneurs and business owners are looking for.<\/p>\n<p>More than half of the respondents run their own business (53%), and 32% of respondents are in full time employment. Business owners are looking to diversify their income streams through expansion &#8211; testing the waters for profitable opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>&#034;As we emerge from two years of lockdowns and restrictions, it is no surprise that there is a new appetite amongst business owners to grow and expand through acquisitions,&#034; says BusinessesForSale.com Sales Director, <span class=\"xn-person\">Faye Ferris<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Around 70% of respondents are looking to buy a business, demonstrating a strong appetite for business ownership. The survey shows that 47% of respondents are first-time buyers, while 53% are experienced buyers looking for profitable targets.<\/p>\n<p>Data demonstrates that buyers are interested in the following businesses:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Online and SaaS businesses<\/li>\n<li>Digital communications<\/li>\n<li>Fuel stations<\/li>\n<li>Hospitality<\/li>\n<li>Breweries<\/li>\n<li>Child and elderly care<\/li>\n<li>Food-related businesses<\/li>\n<li>Manufacturing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#034;Due to unpredictable market conditions, buyers appear to be focused on businesses with less dependency on physical supply chains, and durable and resilient business models,&#034; Ferris emphasizes. &#034;Of course, sectors that were severely impacted by the pandemic are still a valuable target, as they are consumer focused,&#034; she adds.<\/p>\n<p>The survey also shows that 34% of respondents are interested in buying an online business. Most justifications lean towards low overheads, remote and flexible working conditions, convenience, lower risk, and a technological shift in consumer behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>Data also demonstrates that 15% of respondents have capital in excess of <span class=\"xn-money\">$1m<\/span>, where the majority (51%) have up to <span class=\"xn-money\">$250k<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>More than one in seven buyers have more than <span class=\"xn-money\">$500k<\/span> cash deposit to begin their investment journey, whilst over 71% of respondents have up to <span class=\"xn-money\">$250k<\/span> to lay down on the table.<\/p>\n<p>As the Australian economy stabilises post pandemic, buyers are ready to invest in opportunities with lasting prospects and high growth potential.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about how you can buy or sell your business, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/australia.businessesforsale.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/australia.businessesforsale.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Other valuable information:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>BusinessesForSale.com is owned by Dynamis Ltd, a privately owned company based in <span class=\"xn-location\">London<\/span>.
