Location Details
South West WA
Based in South West Western Australia, servicing Bunbury, Busselton, Margaret River, Bridgetown, Nannup, Manjimup, Greenbushes, Albany and Perth. Flexible operations with opportunities to expand across WA.
Potential
Build on an established tourism customer base and tap into the mining workforce market around Greenbushes. Expand recurring crew transfers, airport runs, private tours and cycling shuttles across South West WA. Two buses, a trailer, SEO-optimised websites and fresh marketing materials provide a ready-to-operate platform. Existing mining industry connections and quotes in progress offer further opportunity. Ideal for an owner-operator or transport company ready to add drivers, secure regular work and grow.
Skills
Suited to an owner-operator with confident driving skills, a friendly manner and good organisation. Clear communication, reliable scheduling and attention to passenger safety will help maintain the established customer base. Sales and networking skills can unlock further tourism and workforce opportunities. No specialist tourism background is needed to build on the existing systems, and the current owners can provide a practical handover.
Hours
Flexible, booking-based hours with no fixed shop opening times. Plan your schedule around confirmed tours and transfers.
Lease
No premises lease or rental overheads. Both buses and trailer are owned outright and included in the purchase.
Employees
No employees. Flexible, owner-operated business with straightforward day-to-day management. Opportunity to add drivers as bookings grow, operate both buses simultaneously and expand tourism and workforce transport services.
Reason for Sale
A regretful sale due to unexpected family and visa complications. We bought this business with plans to grow it into something much bigger and have laid the foundations through improved systems, fresh branding and the addition of workforce transport. We would love to keep building it, but our changed circumstances mean we must sell, creating an opportunity for a new owner to take it forward.
About the Business
Take the wheel of an established South West WA transport business with two complementary markets: tourism and workforce transport.
Operating since 2018, Time Travel Tours & Transport has an existing customer base and offers private charters, wine and brewery tours, airport transfers, event shuttles, Munda Biddi cycling transfers and Bibbulmun Track walker transport.
We have built on that foundation by introducing Time Travel Workforce, opening opportunities for crew movements, airport-to-site transfers, shutdown support and recurring transport around Greenbushes and the wider South West.
The purchase includes:
• 2017 Toyota Hiace Commuter, approximately 72,000 km, configured for mine-spec workforce transport.
• 2010 Toyota Hiace Commuter, approximately 470,000 km, serviced and maintained.
• Bigman 8×5 cage trailer for bikes, luggage and equipment.
• Established business branding, customer base and industry contacts.
• SEO-optimised tourism website and a separate workforce website.
• Newly designed flyers for both divisions, business cards and vinyl banner.
• Business phone and established booking, quoting, invoicing and Square payment systems.
Both buses and the trailer are owned outright and included in the asking price. There is no premises lease, and the business is currently owner-operated with no employees.
The appeal is the combination of an established tourism operation and a recently developed workforce division. Existing mining contractor customers, supplier registrations and industry connections provide a foundation for further growth. Additional quotes are in progress, offering opportunities for a buyer to pursue.
An incoming owner can continue operating at a manageable scale or add drivers to use both buses simultaneously. Potential avenues include recurring crew transfers, FIFO airport runs, cycling group bookings, private tours and event transport. Bookings determine operating hours, giving the owner flexibility to shape the business around their goals.
This is an attractive opportunity for a hands-on owner-operator, a couple seeking a regional business, or an existing transport company expanding its fleet and South West presence. A practical handover can help the buyer understand the systems, services and customer relationships.
We planned to build this into something much bigger and have laid the groundwork. Unexpected family and visa complications now require a regretful sale.
Asking price including both buses, trailer and business assets.
