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:

How to Value a Restaurant or Bar that is not Showing Profit
November 03, 2011 by Mina Singson-Brightman
How much money is a restaurant worth? Does it have any value if the restaurant is not turning a profit or barely breaking even? Restaurants, coffee shops or bars are valuable even if they are not showing a profit. These kinds of businesses are valued through the replacement value technique which assumes a buyer pays the seller a price that is not dependent on the income value to benefit from the existing investment in the restaurant facility, the lease and the location. In other words, the buyer is starting a restaurant business at a discount and will pay for the right to avoid spending hundreds of thousands or even millions and avoid all the delays and city regulations in building a new restaurant Here is what a restaurant seller has to say when he received an offer on his business.

October 31, 2011 by Shelli Margolin
How to Sell a Restaurant in 90 Days A True Story Restaurants are not necessarily an easy sell.

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. Does this offering make sense? Would I buy my own business as presented?
