The Third Quarterly SME Intelligence Report is being released today via this newsletter and reveals a number of interesting trends for the business sales market. ABC Business Sales is the first organisation to share statistics related to business sales and prices, we believe it is important to further educate New Zealanders on business ownership so we can provide investment options outside of property and listed shares.
The attached report analyses and provides data on volumes of business sales completed, average business prices, demand & supply trends including the number of new businesses coming to market. Perhaps the most interesting data presented is the material difference in investment returns when comparing pre-tax yields for commercial property vs private business ownership. We have also included a section on the Australian business sales market which is showing slightly different patterns to the New Zealand market.
The data clearly shows the business sales market has unprecedented demand fuelled by a number of key drivers and the supply of quality businesses is below its historical average. The result has been material price increases for businesses and confirms the current environment is a “Seller’s Market”.
