A real estate perspective: NAI Harcourts
The last two years of upheaval have given ample time for reflection. Covid-19 has spotlighted our lifestyles and values, and brought our own mortality into sharp relief.
One aspect of our lives we are reconsidering en masse is how we make a living, and the effect the making of that living has on us and our families.
The search for greater autonomy has seen the demand for self-employment sky rocket. Rather than sending business buyers to ground, Covid-19 has driven demand across the board, says Athol McCully of NAI Harcourts.
“Everything from motels and cafes, beauty, trade oriented, renovation and construction, including scaffolding, is sought after.”
There are buyers searching from within Christchurch as well as from all over New Zealand, he says.
“As well as discussing our listings, our long experience means we can talk people through which business is going to be a great fit for them. If a client has their heart set on an industry but we think the alignment is not great, we can recommend options for them to consider,” says Athol.
“Head first to www.harcourtsbusiness.co.nz or www.nzbizbysell.co.nz and do some exploring,” he suggests. “If something catches your eye or you need help, get in touch. We love getting people started on their business ownership journey.”
