FAQs
Answers for Restaurant Buyers
How long does a purchase usually take?
Most purchases close in 3 to 12 months. Timing depends on price, license status, financing, and lease approval.
Do I need an NDA to see financials?
Yes. Financials and sensitive details are shared only after you are qualified and under a signed NDA.
Will you help with financing?
We can introduce lenders who understand restaurant acquisitions and advise on documents they expect to see.
Can you find off-market opportunities?
We maintain an active pipeline and relationships that often reveal quiet listings not widely advertised.
Who pays the brokerage fee?
In most cases the seller pays our fee under a listing agreement. If an exception applies you will know before proceeding.
Do I need prior restaurant experience?
Experience helps, but it is not required. We will discuss training, staffing, and a plan that fits your background.
