Regional Queensland Event Equipment Hire Business
About this opportunity
Imagine owning a business that generates a full-time income while demanding only part-time hours, situated in one of Australia's most desirable coastal regions, with a sterling reputation built over 25 years of dedicated service. This remarkable opportunity is now available as the owners of this well-established business seek a well-deserved retirement.
What makes this venture truly exceptional is the rare combination of profitability, lifestyle flexibility, and untapped potential that simply doesn't come to market every day. For the right buyer, this represents a chance to step into a turnkey operation that has been built, nurtured, and strategically positioned for continued success and substantial growth.
This business has become the go-to provider for events throughout the region. From weddings and corporate functions to community gatherings and private celebrations, the business has been an integral part of countless memorable occasions.
Business Story
Perhaps one of the most compelling aspects of this opportunity is the remarkable fact that the business has never advertised. Every single client, every booking, every dollar of revenue has come through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat business. This speaks volumes about the quality of service provided and the satisfaction of the customer base. The business has succeeded spectacularly without tapping into any modern marketing channels: it does have a website but no social media presence, no Google advertising, no email campaigns, no wedding expo appearances.
Loads of repeat customers return year after year, booking the same reliable service for their annual events, family celebrations, and business functions. They are ongoing relationships that provide predictable, recurring revenue. Wedding planners know to recommend this business to their clients. Community organizations book their equipment months in advance. This loyal customer base represents not just current revenue, but future income that's practically guaranteed. For a new owner, you’re inheriting a goldmine of established relationships and a reputation that opens doors effortlessly.
The competitive landscape is remarkably favourable, with very limited competition in the region. While many business sectors are saturated with competitors fighting over scraps, this event equipment hire operation enjoys a privileged position in a market that's simply not crowded. The barriers to entry for new competitors are significant—the capital investment in quality equipment, the time required to build reputation and relationships, and the operational expertise needed to run such a business efficiently. The current business has all these advantages locked in, giving any new owner an immediate and sustainable competitive edge.
The part-time nature of this business cannot be overstated as a lifestyle advantage. The current owners have structured operations to be efficient and manageable, requiring involvement primarily around event bookings, equipment delivery and pickup, and basic maintenance. Picture yourself earning a full-time income yet having the flexibility to enjoy the relaxed lifestyle in this beautiful coastal location.
For an ambitious new owner, the possibilities are genuinely limitless. Consider expanding the equipment inventory to service larger events or adding specialty items that cater to current event trends. This is a great opportunity to acquire a business with 25 years of proven performance, minimal competition, extraordinary growth potential, and a lifestyle component that's increasingly rare in today's business landscape.

Phil started his working career in purchasing with large and multi-national companies in Sydney.
A family relocation to Bowen in 1974 was the catalyst to owning his own business.
Phil has been in various businesses from Pest Control to Delicatessen/Takeaway and has for the last 39 years built a wholesale business that has served Bowen, Whitsundays, Mackay and the Coalfields, from 1 truck and himself to 6 trucks and 15 employees.
This has given Phil a very solid knowledge of the area from Bowen to Rockhampton and what it takes to thrive in business there.
Phil has a strong knowledge of business and business practices built through the process of growing his own business as well as time spent on State Franchise Council and dealing with the many changing government policies in those 39 years.
The process of selling his own business has shown Phil the real need for a locally based business broker, easily contacted and heavily focused on the Central Queensland area, which has led to his involvement in CQ Business Brokers.
