40-Year Event Hire Business - Melbourne

About the Business

Melbourne Event Hire Business For Sale

Four decades of weddings, school events, corporate functions and festivals have built this event hire business a long-standing reputation. For an owner-operator, or an established hire company wanting instant scale, an inventory of this size rarely comes to market. Established customer relationships, a ready-made fleet and a purpose-suited warehouse give a new owner a strong platform from day one.

Based in Oakleigh, the business supplies party and event equipment across Greater Melbourne, including clearspan, frame and pop-up marquees, tables and chairs, glassware, crockery, linen, barbecues, lighting, staging, flooring, heating and cooling. Delivery, installation and dismantling services let customers source everything for an event from one supplier, which supports repeat bookings. Clients include private customers, schools, corporate organisations and event planners, and the business benefits from referrals and repeat work.

The event hire business reported turnover of circa $520k for FY2026, excluding GST. Hire stock is insured for approximately $300k, which is an insurance figure rather than an independent valuation. Further financial information is available to qualified buyers under NDA.

The owner is retiring after approximately 15 years of ownership.

The business trades from an 850 sqm warehouse in Oakleigh with convenient access to Melbourne's major road networks. Current annual rent is $96,000 plus GST and outgoings. Lease term and option details are available on enquiry.

Operations are supported by three trucks, a forklift, one permanent part-time employee and four casuals, along with established systems for quoting, inventory management and invoicing. It suits an owner-operator, or an industry buyer looking to add capacity, stock and market coverage.

A new owner can lift utilisation of the existing stock. Opportunities include stronger SEO and Google advertising, a smoother online quoting and booking process, and bundled packages for weddings, birthdays and corporate functions. Targeted marketing to festivals, sporting clubs and venues, plus partnerships with caterers and event planners, could build a pipeline of repeat bookings. Additional high-demand equipment and wider delivery coverage into Melbourne's growth areas offer further upside.

A training and handover period will be provided by the vendor to support a smooth transition.
