Franchises for sale in Liverpool, NSW
Geography: this report covers the Liverpool SA3 statistical area (ABS), which is broader than a single suburb. Demographics from the ABS Census 2021.
How this opportunity score works
The score is a weighted 0–100 research signal, not a site-selection decision. It combines, per category:
- Demand (category fit for the population) — 30%
- Competition gap (trade-area model, more room scores higher) — 25%
- Demographic fit (income vs the category) — 20%
- 5-year population growth (percentile) — 15%
- Franchise availability (systems recruiting here) — 10%
Inputs: ABS Census 2021 (population, income, growth) and a trade-area competition model using OpenStreetMap / ABS business data where available. It doesn’t model rent, site specifics or local trading conditions, treat it as a starting point for research, then confirm on the ground and with the franchisor. See our methodology.

Survival & viability analysis
Hair & Barber viability: High
The hair & barber opportunity in Liverpool scores 79 out of 100. With a population of 233,000, this is a substantial catchment that could support roughly 29 hair & barber outlets in total, around 8 more than the 21 already operating locally. At about 21 existing hair & barber operators, competition sits below typical metro density, an opening for a well-run entrant. Median household income ($94,600) sits below the typical comparable area in the state ($99,000), which can favour value-led formats. Population is growing at 10.6% over five years, ahead of the typical comparable area in the state (10.3%), so new demand is still arriving.
