Hot Business List ~ September 2015

Hot Business List ~ September 2015

Businesses valued at under $1 million

During September, E-commerce businesses saw a jump in impressions, going from the previously held spot of 3rd to 1st. Could an increased interest in E-commerce businesses be helped with the holiday season quickly approaching?

Interestingly, liquor stores jumped from 9th in August to 5th in September one spot above bars. July had seen a drop to 9th from 6th, indicating this jump is a natural occurrence and not necessarily a seasonal fluctuation.

Mid-market businesses

Mid-market business (businesses self-valued or with turnover in excess of $1 million) availability has remained fairly even. Restaurants, convenience stores and service stations have retained the top three spots for the last three months, and with small changes at the bottom of the table with bar availability bouncing between 8th and 9th.
