Specialising in TASMANIA & NORTH QUEENSLAND

It may seem an odd combination to build a small consulting business bewteen the North and South of Australia. To Merchants, however, there is a great amount of synergy between North Queensland and Tasmania. Both are regions with an emphasis on tourism and the natural environment. They also have a very well respected agricultural base with a reputation for quality produce. 

We have also become aware of a certain degree of cross migration and investment. Those who seek the sun in winter and a cooler change in summer. We have  experienced an excellent volume of cross investment  between the two regions, in business and real estate. Our clients feel confident investing in regions with a similiar population basis, value for money, and lifestyle.

Both markets are also very popular with foreign investors, and migrants.
