On this page you'll find listings of businesses and companies for sale in Veneto: hotels and B&Bs between Venice, Verona and Lake Garda, bars and restaurants in historic centers, manufacturing and craft firms in the provinces of Vicenza, Treviso and Padua, wineries and farm stays in the Prosecco and Valpolicella areas. Veneto combines a fabric of exporting SMEs with one of the strongest tourism markets in Europe: two different engines that keep business transfers flowing. Filter by category and province, or browse all businesses for sale in Italy.

Some useful benchmarks: Veneto manufacturing and craft firms with a consolidated customer base are valued indicatively at 4–6 times EBITDA, plus inventory; for hotels and accommodation businesses the market uses a value per room or revenue multiples, with big differences between Venice, Lake Garda and the Dolomites. In seasonal locations (Jesolo, Caorle, the mountains) always ask for a full year of numbers, not just the high season. Many transfers here come from a generational handover with no heirs interested: an opportunity for buyers.

To sell your business in Veneto, prepare clear financial statements and highlight your customer portfolio, certifications and contracts in place: that's what buyers look at first. You can publish your listing from €37 + VAT, one-off payment, no subscriptions and no commission on the sale, and handle inquiries yourself. Before setting the price, run an estimate with the valuation tool.

Frequently asked questions

With the property included, the market works on a value per room: indicatively €60,000–€120,000 per room on Lake Garda and in the Dolomites, much more in Venice, less in seaside resorts that need relaunching. Buying the business alone, with the property on a lease, costs a fraction: often 3–6 times EBITDA plus goodwill. Always check the condition of the building, its classification, the lease and the average revenue per room over the last 3 years.

Starting point: 4–6 times normalized EBITDA, plus inventory and minus net financial position. Reliance on the owner counts for a lot (in craft firms it's the main risk), along with customer concentration and the age of machinery and certifications: if the top 2–3 customers account for more than half of revenue, the multiple drops. Have an accountant help you normalize the financial statements before negotiating.

They are two solid markets: Verona combines tourism (the Arena, Lake Garda, trade fairs) with local customers, Padua lives on its university and service sector. An established bar costs roughly €60,000–€150,000, a restaurant €100,000–€300,000 depending on location and sales. Compared with opening from scratch you save the start-up time and find trained staff. Check the rent, the lease term and the sales of the last 12 months.

Ask for month-by-month sales for the last 2–3 years: with 4–5 months of actual operation, summer revenue alone isn't enough to judge. Then check the lease (rents in tourist locations have risen sharply), any concessions, the availability of seasonal staff and how the business covers fixed costs during the closed months. Apply prudent multiples to the average EBITDA over several years, not to the best year.

A sole proprietor selling a business owned for more than 5 years can choose separate taxation of the capital gain (tassazione separata, art. 17 TUIR). The transfer deed requires a notary (art. 2556 c.c.) and 3% registration tax, normally payable by the buyer. Employees transfer automatically to the new owner under art. 2112 c.c., keeping seniority and terms. Before signing the preliminary agreement, have your accountant simulate the tax impact.
