What would you buy, hold or sell if your own money was on the line?

In this episode of The Meaning Business Podcast, Bruce Coudrey and Peter Spinda play Buy, Hold or Sell: Business Edition — using real Australian business-for-sale listings to put their business instincts to the test.

Jay throws a series of real listings at Bruce and Peter with nothing more than the information available to potential buyers. They have to decide: would they buy it, hold it, or sell it?

The businesses range from an online wooden ship model store and motorcycle dealership to an AI automation platform, telehealth business, e-commerce businesses, tourism operators, commercial services and even a business with its own fully equipped dungeon.

Some look like great investments. Some raise immediate red flags. And others prove that whether a business is worth buying often depends just as much on the buyer as the numbers.

Along the way, Bruce and Peter break down what catches their attention in a business listing, including asking price, profit, assets, industry trends, barriers to entry, scalability and whether you’re buying a genuine business — or simply buying yourself a job.

Play along: would you BUY, HOLD or SELL each business?

If you’re looking at businesses for sale in Australia, considering buying an existing business, or just want to test your own business instincts against two experienced dealmakers, play along and see how your picks compare.
