On this page you'll find listings of businesses and companies for sale in Apulia: bars, restaurants and B&Bs in Salento and Valle d'Itria, masserie and farm stays, seasonal businesses on the Gargano, stores and services in Bari, Lecce and Taranto, food companies working in olive oil, wine and fresh produce. The tourism boom of the last decade has transformed the Apulia market: businesses in the best-known destinations have seen revenue and sale values grow. Filter by category and price, or explore all businesses for sale in Italy.

The Apulia market has two features worth knowing. The first is seasonality: in many locations most sales are concentrated between May and September, so always assess 12 months of numbers and apply prudent multiples, indicatively 2.5–4 times average EBITDA. The second is the entry price, lower than in the North: an established bar in the province often changes hands for €30,000–€80,000, while in tourist destinations values come close to those of the big cities. You can get a first estimate with the valuation tool.

If you want to sell your business in Apulia, the timing is favorable: the region attracts buyers from all over Italy and from abroad, especially in tourism and food service. Publish your listing from €37 + VAT, one-off payment, no subscriptions and no commission on the sale, with good photos and clear numbers. For advice on setting the price and handling the negotiation, see the selling a company section.

Frequently asked questions

In towns and non-tourist districts an established bar costs roughly €30,000–€80,000, a restaurant €50,000–€150,000. In the strongest destinations (Polignano, Ostuni, Lecce, Gallipoli, Vieste) prices rise: €80,000–€200,000 for a well-positioned bar and €150,000–€400,000 for restaurants with outdoor seating and significant summer sales. Always look at 12 months of sales, the rent and the lease term.

If the property is included, it is the real driver of the price: renovated masserie with accommodation range indicatively from €600,000 to over €2 million depending on area, land and rooms; properties needing renovation cost much less but require major investment. Buying the business alone on a lease is valued on margins, 3–5 times EBITDA. Check the permitted use, landscape restrictions and the agritourism requirements (a genuine link with farming activity).

A great deal: a venue that makes 80% of its sales between June and September is worth less, with the same revenue, than one with income spread across the year, because the risk is more concentrated. In practice prudent multiples are applied to the average EBITDA of the last 2–3 fiscal years (2.5–4 times) and the ability to cover fixed costs in the low season is checked. Always ask for monthly sales, not just the annual total.

Tourist numbers have been growing for years and the season is getting longer, but rents in historic centers have risen and seasonal staff are increasingly hard to find. Taking over makes sense if the business has recurring customers, solid reviews and a long lease at a sustainable rent. Be wary of prices built only on the last record season: ask for at least 3 years of numbers.

Prepare the key documents (sales or financial statements of the last 3 years, the lease, licenses), make a realistic estimate with the valuation tool and publish a listing complete with photos and numbers: on Attivita24 it costs from €37 + VAT, one-off payment, no subscriptions and no commission on the sale. Reply quickly to inquiries: many buyers are assessing several businesses at the same time.
