However, restaurants can sell for their asset value alone, such as furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) along with their permits and licenses. Knowing how to value those assets is the key to selling a restaurant quickly. Price is not the only determining factor in procuring a quick sale. You need to get into the buyer mindset and make sure a buyer sees the same value in your restaurant as you do. Here are some no nonsense step to getting your restaurant sold fast: 1.

Some factors that go into determining the price are location, FF&E replacement values, permits and licenses. 2. Make it easy to understand -

Knowing what a business buyer wants is the key to selling your business and getting the best price for it. In this market climate, most buyers are looking for two things, a cash flowing business and a deal. Here are a few things that a business buyer is gong to want to know that will allow the buyer to asses the situation and determine if yours is the right business for them. Is the business currently producing an income for the owner? Is the business seller retiring and fully funded his or her retirement plans? Does the sale of the business only represent a small part of the retirement portfolio? Is the business debt free? Do the financials show that the depreciation schedules are completely exhausted? Affirmative answers to these questions tell the business buyer that the business is making enough money for their needs and you are indeed in a financial position to sell your business and sell it within the constraints of the marketplace.

Selling a Small Business as a Short Sale
December 05, 2011 by Shelli Margolin
Drowning in business debt!?! Even when a companys sales start increasing, debt can eat away at the profits More and more small business owners are finding that profits are going to servicing their debt and keeping their business operational. In such cases, an option is to sell the business through a short sale. Especially if a business owner is burnt-out, looking at shuttering the business and declaring bankruptcy. Declaring bankruptcy is different as a small business owner. Its not just an anonymous bank or bureaucratic phone company that is owed money; its often suppliers and vendors with whom there are long-term personal relationships. And often, friends and family have invested in the business or lent large sums of money to help keep the business afloat.

By Shelli Margolin, Restaurant Business Broker In the current economy, many restaurants that once thrived are sadly no longer able to sustain a positive cash flow. However, the good news is that selling a restaurant that is operating under a loss or poor revenues is possible. The biggest barrier to entry in the restaurant industry is the initial build-out costs. If your restaurant has a functioning hood, flood drains, three part sink and a permitted refrigerator unit, then your restaurant will sell. If you have a liquor license, your restaurant will sell for more! The most common obstacles to selling your restaurant are: 1. The price you want vs. the actual market price 2. Messy, incomplete or none existent books and records 3. Deferred maintenance 4. Not being up to code 5. Expiring lease 6. Time and energy Preparation is the best way to overcome these obstacles:
