How to Sell a Restaurant in 90 Days
October 31, 2011 by Shelli Margolin
How to Sell a Restaurant in 90 Days A True Story Restaurants are not necessarily an easy sell. However, if they are priced at their proper value and positioned to sell in the right forums, they can be sold in a timely manner to the satisfaction of both the buyer and seller. Preparing the restaurants books and records for sale is as important as bringing in the right buyer. The following is a true story of a restaurant that recently sold through an experienced restaurant business broker. When the Johnstons[1] bought their pizza deli in Los Angeles five years ago, the plan was to build a business for their children to takeover. Both Mr. & Mrs. Johnston had fulltime careers that they wanted to keep. With the help of their son, the restaurant was able to sustain a positive cash-flow for several years.

Why isn't my business selling?
October 21, 2011 by Kendric Foultz
Almost nothing is as upsetting to a business owner than listing their business for sale and then having it sit on the market for months with no activity on it! What is wrong, why havent you sold my business you ask the business broker. The answer might be complex or very simple. The best thing to do as a business seller is to ask yourself a basic question.

Buying a Restaurant or Bar and the Transfer of Liquor License
September 08, 2011 by Mina Singson-Brightman
When we list a restaurant or bar for sale with Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license, we generally get significant buyer activities on them. For buyers of such businesses who do not understand how a liquor license is transferred, here is an overview. The number of retail liquor licenses, especially Type 47 (full liquor license for restaurants) and Type 48 (full liquor license for bars and nightclubs) that can be issued in a county is restricted. The limited supply of liquor licenses and the lengthy process to get an ABC license approved make businesses with permit to sell alcohol highly desirable and valuable. When buying a business with beer and wine or full liquor license, the transfer of ABC license from one person or entity to another person or entity is called a person-to-person transfer. Generally, this is how it works:

HOW TO SELL YOUR BUSINESS WHEN YOU ARE THE KEY TO YOUR BUSINESS
August 11, 2011 by Dan Munter
In a perfect world, when owners decide to sell their business, a buyer will come forward and write a check for the full asking price. In the real world, this rarely happens. There are so many reasons why this rarely occurs. In this blog, I want to focus on one of the most important issues. One of the biggest risks for a buyer is whether the business will survive without the sellers presence, knowledge and relationships. I want to give you some actual examples of businesses I have both recently sold and am in the process of selling.

Preparing a Restaurant for Sale
August 08, 2011 by Shelli Margolin
If you are considering selling your restaurant, preparation is essential in order to make the sale easier, faster and more profitable. Buyers will usually estimate the value of a restaurant beyond a wonderful menu and steady clientele. Their assessment will determine what they are willing to pay. Having all aspects of your restaurant in order is the key to a successful sale. Many of the steps below may seem like no brainers. However, often restaurant owners are so engrossed in their day to day operation that they over look simple things that can drastically effect how buyers will perceive their restaurant. It is crucial to look at your restaurant through the eyes of a buyer and ask yourself some key questions: Are your books & records organized? Can a buyer clearly understand how much profit you make? Is your profit provable on paper? Do you have cash sales? Can you easily prove those sales to a buyer?
