About the Business
Why This Is a Great Opportunity:
Albury, a thriving regional city with a population of over 50,000, presents a strong demand for essential services. Despite its size and continuous growth, the city is currently served by only four post offices. Expanding existing services could significantly enhance convenience for the local community while also presenting a lucrative business opportunity.
A Strong Track Record of Success:
The current owner purchased the business in 2014 and has successfully operated it for many years. After a period of steady growth and strong performance, they are now ready to retire, creating a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to step in and continue the business’s success.
Prime Location with Steady Customer Base:
The post office is situated in a large suburb with a strong mix of residential and commercial properties nearby. This diverse base of clients ensures a consistent flow of customers, including individuals, families, and businesses, providing steady revenue from a variety of sources.
Consistent and Strong Commissions:
The Australia Post component of the business has proven to be a reliable source of income, with commissions remaining consistent year-on-year:
FY2022 - $251,236
FY2023 - $240,177
FY2024 - $254,720
(These figures exclude the revenue generated from stock sales, which represent an additional significant income stream).
Work-Life Balance with Growth Potential:
One of the attractive features of this business is the work-life balance it offers. The post office operates Monday to Friday and is closed on weekends, making it an ideal lifestyle business. For those looking to further increase revenue, there is the potential to apply to Australia Post for permission to open for a half-day on Saturdays, which could further boost earnings.
An Established Business with a Smooth Transition:
Australia Post and the current owner will transition the business to a new owner who will maintain and build upon its success. Historically, new owners have been able to drive additional growth and enhance the profitability of well-established businesses like this one.
Don’t Miss out!
This is a rare opportunity to own a well-established, profitable, and community-focused post office business in a prime location. With a steady income, a diverse customer base, and plenty of room for growth, this is an exceptional business opportunity that should not be overlooked.
