Selling A Restaurant 

As a company that specializes in one thing, you as a restaurant owner are our most important asset.

Selling a restaurant or food related business is a specialized function. Just as business owners would not attempt to do their own legal or tax work, they should seek professional assistance when it comes to selling such an important asset. Our brokers commonly hear the benefits choosing a specialist. They include:

Market Expertise. This is only built through time spent selling restaurants and overseeing transactions. We understand the local market. We respect that you have been in the restaurant business for years. Similarly, we have been in selling restaurants for years! So, we understand the trends and know what the likely outcome of any sale is and use this to your advantage.

Confidentiality. An owner representing him or herself cannot maintain anonymity. The lost confidentiality could seriously hurt the business prior to its sale if customers, competitors or employees become aware of the sale.

Guidance. An owner may not be knowledgeable in current areas of law, accounting, taxes, and marketing of businesses.

Dedication. An owner typically does not have the ability or time to contact, screen and qualify a large group of prospects to find a qualified buyer who is serious and will offer a fair price.

Negotiation. A broker has the experience, knowledge, and negotiating skills to sell a restaurant effectively and for the best price particularly in a highly emotional negotiation where the buyer’s objectives are totally opposite of the owner’s.

Success. Working with a professional restaurant broker can make the difference between an owner just selling a business or selling it to the right buyer for the right price and terms.
