The Process
In order to buy a post office, you must pass an interview with Australia Post.
Many buyers do not pass this interview.
However, when you buy a post office through LPO Brokers, this risk of failure is minimal: Neil Hollender, the principal of LPO Brokers, used to work for Australia Post and took part in these interviews. You will be prepared for the interview by LPO Brokers, free of charge.
