Buyers Looking for Hospitality & Leisure Assets

Many hospitality businesses, leisure properties and tourism assets are not suited to a long public campaign. In some cases, a confidential or off-market approach may be more appropriate.

Australian Leisure Property works with buyers, investors and operators who are interested in opportunities across the hospitality, accommodation, tourism and leisure property sectors.

Buyer interest may include:

Hotels, motels and accommodation businesses
Restaurants, cafés and food businesses
Resorts and tourism assets
Taverns and licensed venues
Function centres and event venues
Boarding houses and accommodation properties
Freehold going-concern assets
Leasehold hospitality businesses
Properties with repositioning or future use potential

Why this matters for owners

When preparing to sell, it is useful to understand who the likely buyers may be before going to market.

Different buyers look for different things. Some focus on income and business performance. Others look at the lease, property fundamentals, location, future use, development potential or the ability to improve operations.

A clearer understanding of the likely buyer profile can help shape the way the business or property is prepared, priced and presented.

A confidential approach may suit some owners

Not every owner wants their business or property openly advertised.

In some situations, a more discreet approach may help protect staff, customers, suppliers, tenants, landlords, goodwill and market perception while still allowing suitable buyers to be approached.

This depends on the type of asset, the owner’s circumstances, market conditions and the quality of the available information.

Is your business or property suitable?

If you own a hospitality business, leisure property or tourism asset and are considering selling now or planning ahead, the first step is to understand where the value sits and what type of buyer may be most suitable.

A confidential review can help identify:

Who the likely buyers may be
What buyers may question
Whether the business or property is ready for sale
Whether an off-market or confidential approach may be suitable
What information should be prepared before buyer discussions begin
