Long Established Mercantile Agency – VICTORIA

HIGHLY PROFITABLE WITH MINIMAL OVERHEADS

This well-established Mercantile Agency has been successfully operated by the current owner for over 20 years and delivers a wide range of services across multiple key disciplines. Operating in a resilient and essential sector, the business offers significant potential for growth both within Victoria and nationally.

Whether run hands-on or as a streamlined management-based model, the business adapts easily to different approaches.
