Australian business for sale

Long Established Retail Stationery and Business Equipment - 20 years same owner

This business was first established in 1975 and in that time has had only two owners.

This Office National franchise is an authorized Canon Dealer, as well as Kyocera and Brother warranty agent. Storm Office National joined the fledgling Office National Group at its inception in 1999. With strong national branding it is in a great location with purpose built premises of 400 sq m, and a long term lease. Albany has a population of 35,000 and services a further 15,000 in the surrounding region. This is a strong local business in a growing area on the South Coast of Western Australia, approximately 4½ hours south of Perth, and employs 7 full-time and 3 part-time staff. The systems in place will enable a new owner opportunities to grow this business even further. This is a genuine sale as the current owners wish to retire. Price of $573,000 includes stock of $265,000.
