FOR SALE – Profitable Wholesale Produce Business (Canberra, ACT)

Business Details

$2.1M+ Annual Sales |  $333K Earnings |  Long-Term Client Base 
 
After 25+ years of trusted operations under current ownership — and more than 35 years in the industry — the owners of this well-established wholesale produce business are ready to retire, spend more time with their grandchildren, and enjoy long-overdue travel.
 
Based in Canberra's industrial centre, the business services over 60 loyal clients daily — including cafes, schools, childcare centres, clubs, and more — delivering premium, market-sourced fruit and vegetables with reliability and care.
 
Key Highlights: 
 
$2.13M in Annual Sales (FY24) with 30%+ gross margins 
$333,274 PEBITDA – Stable, proven earnings 
275 sqm Premises with secure 5 + 5 year lease 
$420,000+ in Plant & Equipment – Trucks, cold rooms, forklift, CCTV, etc. 
Low Operating Hours – 5.5-day week, no Sundays or public holidays 
Zero Marketing Spend – All customers via natural word of mouth 
Systemised Operations – MYOB used for admin and customer management 
Lean Team – Owner-operator model with casual warehouse support
 
Market Opportunity:
 
The ACT wholesale produce sector is estimated at over $300 million annually, and this business commands less than 1% market share. The growth runway is significant — implement online ordering, expand delivery areas, or increase sales efforts to unlock the next stage.
 
Transition Support:
 
A comprehensive 1-month handover is proposed, with the owners offering to:
 
• Introduce key suppliers and clients
• Guide you through delivery and ordering systems
• Provide ongoing support with market procurement if needed
 
Investment Summary:
 
• Business: $900,000 + $25,000 Stock at Value
