Victorian businesses are usually based in commercial premises, such as offices, shops, factories or warehouses.

If you are a business migrant moving to Victoria, you will need to obtain a property for your business.

Business Victoria provides comprehensive information on starting a business. See Starting and managing a business > location and premises on the Business Victoria website for information about choosing your premises, including renting and buying.

Consumer Affairs Victoria has also developed a guide to buying and selling property. Although it is more targeted at residential property, it does include tips on what to consider when buying property.

You might also want to seek advice from your local Chamber of Commerce before you commit to buying property.

The Real Estate Institute of Victoria’s directory is a useful guide to find commercial property agents in Victoria.
