About the business
This is an events business hiring out a venue for theatre and live events in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane, Queensland. Revenue comes mainly from venue hire, ticketing commissions and bar sales. Hirers largely manage events themselves, and technical staff, sound and lighting are charged directly to the hirer when required. The venue sits in a nightlife and cultural precinct and attracts artists, promoters, universities and event organisers. It has indoor and outdoor event spaces, with total capacity of up to 250 guests. The lease runs through to 2032 on a 3 + 3 + 3 structure. The broker reports low ongoing overheads and a simple, easy-to-run model with limited day-to-day reliance on owner involvement.
