Frequently Asked Questions

What affects a restaurant's sale price the most?

Lease terms — length, renewal options, rent escalations — liquor licensing, and how much of the brand and repeat business depends on the current owner being on-site every day. A restaurant that runs well without the owner physically present sells for more.

Do I need a liquor license to sell for a good price?

It depends on your concept and market, but a transferable liquor license is a real asset buyers factor into the price, especially in markets where new licenses are capped or hard to obtain.

Can I sell while staying open?

Yes — most restaurant sales close with the doors open and staff in place. We market confidentially and coordinate the transition so service isn't disrupted before or after closing.
