Question

Melissa Parker is considering the merits of buying a small café in Adelaide. The café is fully furnished and equipped. The business has been operating for the last 3 years. The café premises are not owned, but leased. The current lease expires in two years, but there are options for a further five-year term in place. The current lease costs $30,000 per annum in rent.

The current owner, Philip Taylor, started the business in 2017 with a capital of $75,000. He is asking for a price of $100,000 for the business. Philip provided the following information:
