Location Details

Potential
It's been running well with just one person. You could keep it simple or grow it by adding days or services. No big changes needed—just consistent work. All equipment is included, and the setup works efficiently. With steady effort, you could likely cover your takeover costs in a few months, then shape the business to suit your pace.
Skills
No formal qualifications needed—basic to intermediate sewing skills are enough. Ideal for tailors, dressmakers, or anyone comfortable with garment repairs. If you’re confident with hemming, altering, or resizing, you’ll settle in quickly. Handover and basic training can be provided.
Hours
Trades 5 days per week with flexible daytime hours. Opportunity to open more days or weekends.
Reason for Sale
We’re moving interstate for family reasons and can’t keep running the shop. It’s been good to us, and we’d love to hand it over to someone who’ll continue looking after the local community.
About the Business
This is a long-standing local alteration shop with loyal customers, steady demand, and low overheads. It’s been in the same spot for over 8 years, and most clients are regulars or referrals.
It's a great fit for someone who enjoys hands-on work—whether you’re a tailor, dressmaker, or simply confident with garment repairs. The shop is fully equipped with sewing machines, cutting tables, and all the tools you need. You can start right away—no setup needed.
With consistent work, many owners could recover their investment in just a few months. After that, it’s yours to grow—or keep as a simple solo operation.
The space includes a private bathroom, direct street access, and affordable rent. Lease is current and easy to continue.
The business currently trades 5 days a week. There’s room to expand by opening more hours or adding services. No direct competitors nearby, and the shop has a solid local reputation.
