Green & Co. Business Brokers
Serving Sarasota County, FL
The Green & Co. Difference -We don't just list a business for sale and hope a buyer comes along. We actively search for buyers for all of our listings. -We pride ourselves on going above and beyond when communicating with our sellers. One of the biggest complaints that we hear from business owners who have previously listed with another company is that they were listed and never heard from their broker again. We ensure regular and open communication. -We have an extensive buyer database of buyers who are waiting for the right business to come on the market. -We do more than just confidentially market our listings on the popular consumer websites and our central MLS, we use the best marketing tools and methods in the industry. -Confidentiality is king, so we screen and pre-qualify every potential buyer. It is our goal to make the process of either buying a new business or selling your current business as smooth and efficient as possible. We know how important confidentiality is to our sellers and we treat it with the utmost importance. Creating a win-win outcome for all parties involved is what we believe makes or breaks a deal.

FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a restaurant in Florida?
The median asking price for restaurants in Florida is $287,000. However, prices can range significantly higher or lower depending on location, size, type, and the financial health of the business.
How much do restaurant owners earn?
The median reported discretionary earnings for restaurant businesses listed for sale in Florida is $130,390. Earnings can vary greatly depending on the type of restaurant, location, management efficiency, and market demand.
How are restaurants in Florida valued?
Most business owners (and buyers) will start by applying earnings and revenue multiples to the businesses reported financials. This way buyers and sellers can gauge the value of a restaurant business relative to its peers in the market.
Based on our most recent analysis of Florida restaurant business listings, revenue multiples range from 0.33 to 0.73, with the median at 0.48. Earnings multiples range from 1.77 to 3.19, with the median at 2.47. This means restaurants in Florida are valued, on average, around 0.48 times annual revenue, and/or 2.47 times annual owner earnings.
On average, businesses sell for about 80-90% of asking price, so valuation multiples based on active listings tend to be higher than closed sale multiples.
