Business Brokerage

Please note, that all contracts by foreign persons to invest in/buy Australian real estate are pending until foreign investment approval has been granted. This includes:

• residential real estate
• commercial real estate
• rural land
• accommodation facilities and
• urban land corporations

Business brokerage is a highly specialised form of real estate agency practice.  Many businesses operate from leased premises, so the sale of a business will not necessarily involve the sale of premises as well.  The business broker’s client is the owner of the business.

The business broker can specialise in selling a particular type of business, such as milk bars, caravan parks or hotels.

If you are interested in business brokerage as a career, it would be a good idea to include some accounting subjects in your secondary or tertiary studies.
