Selling your restaurant does not mean selling your building.

You can sell the business, keep the real estate, and sign a new lease with your buyer. The restaurant sells on an SDE multiple or as an asset sale. The building stays yours and pays you rent.

Before you set that rent, know this:

• The rent you set moves value between the two assets. A higher rent raises the building's value and lowers the restaurant's, so the right rent balances both.

• Your buyer's lender reviews your lease. Rent set too high lowers the buyer's SDE and the debt service coverage the lender tests.

• Your own SBA or EIDL loan needs a plan before closing.

• For a retiring owner, the building keeps working for you as steady rental income while a new operator runs the restaurant.

I owned and operated my five Jimmy'z Kitchen restaurant locations in Miami and Atlanta, so I know both sides of the table. Our new guide for owners in Atlanta, Savannah, and across Georgia is linked in the first comment.

When you own both, your exit plan needs to account for the Restaurant Business and the Commercial Real Estate.

The business financials, property, equipment, buyer qualifications, and transaction terms all play a part in how the opportunity is presented.

I help restaurant owners coordinate the process, including:

• Reviewing business financials and developing a pricing strategy
• Valuing owner-occupied Commercial Real Estate through market rent and local cap rate analysis
• Assessing Highest and Best Use parameters to advise whether to sell the Restaurant Business and property together or separately
• Positioning and marketing the business and property
• Screening prospective buyers
• Coordinating negotiations, due diligence, and closing

With 37 years in the restaurant industry—as a chef, multi-unit owner-operator, and founder of Jimmy’z Kitchen across five locations—I bring firsthand operating experience to every conversation.

𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁.

Sellers, your plan for growth may be strong, but it isn’t what the buyer’s lender reads.

Banks and SBA lenders finance documented cash flow, not potential.

• A buyer paying cash isn’t paying for potential either.
• Any upside is a risk the buyer carries after closing, so they pay for earnings they can verify.

That’s why we value a restaurant on:
• Recent years of documented SDE
• A lease the buyer can keep
• Results that can be verified

Before I was a restaurant broker, I was a chef, restaurant owner, and operator for 37 years. That experience is why Restaurant and F&B business owners trust me to help them sell on their terms.

𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗧 𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗘 𝗩𝗦. 𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦 𝗦𝗔𝗟𝗘. 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧’𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗜𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘?

Most owners think there is only one way to sell a restaurant. There are two, and the difference comes down to one question: is the buyer paying for your earnings, or for your space?

➤ 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲: the buyer takes over a running restaurant as a going concern, the name, the concept, the staff, and the cash flow. The price is set by your earnings, SDE for most owner-operated restaurants or EBITDA for larger operations, so clean financials matter.

➤ 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗲: the buyer takes over the built restaurant, the kitchen, hood, walk-in, buildout, and lease. They bring their own concept. The price is based on the space, equipment, location, and lease, not your profits.

Either way, your landlord approves the new tenant, and any loans are paid off at closing.

You don’t choose which one you’re selling. Your numbers do. We look at them with you and tell you which one fits.

One note: on paper, most restaurant deals are structured as asset purchases either way. These terms describe what the buyer is paying for, not the legal paperwork.

Full breakdown at the link in bio.

Save this post. If you own a restaurant, you’ll want this later.

Restaurant and F&B brokerage is the only thing I do. After 37 years as a chef, owner, and operator, I know what buyers actually pay for.

𝗜 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗔𝗡 𝗦𝗕𝗔 𝗟𝗢𝗔𝗡. 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗜 𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗞 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗔𝗡𝗬𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚?

That's the question we hear most from owners who assume an SBA loan means the sale isn't worth pursuing.

An outstanding SBA loan does not disqualify you from selling. Most SBA loans, and EIDL loans, are not assumable, meaning the buyer cannot simply take over your payments. Your loan has a UCC filing attached, which is the lender's legal claim on your business assets until the loan is repaid, similar to a lien. That filing is satisfied and released at closing as part of the payoff process. Your lender is paid off directly from the sale proceeds, and whatever is left after that comes to you.

We walk owners through exactly what that payoff looks like before you ever list.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁?

Most owners ask this question before they ask anything else, and most get an answer that doesn't hold up.

There's no single timeline. Price it right and the market responds fast. Price it high and it sits, gets stale, and starts working against you. Financing adds its own clock, since most buyers need SBA approval, and that process alone can run several weeks once a deal is under contract. Lease terms matter just as much: a landlord who's slow to respond, or who wants to renegotiate before approving an assignment, can add real time to a deal that was otherwise ready to close. And financials that need to be reconstructed or explained to a buyer's lender always cost more time than financials that were clean from the start.

➤ The restaurants that sell quickest aren't the flashiest. They're the ones with clean books a lender can underwrite without back and forth, and a lease that's already been reviewed for assignment before a buyer is even in the picture. Preparation on the front end is what shortens the timeline on the back end.

Restaurant and F&B brokerage is the only thing I do. After 37 years as a chef, owner, and operator, I know what actually slows a deal down and what doesn't.

𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹?

You found a buyer. You agreed on a price. Then the lease got in the way.

Most restaurant leases require landlord consent before you can assign them to a new owner, and that consent isn't automatic. A slow landlord, a difficult one, or one who sees an opening to renegotiate terms can stall or sink a sale that was otherwise done.

➤ I've seen a fully approved buyer rejected outright during due diligence, and closed the deal anyway by rebuilding the landlord's confidence from the ground up.

Knowing how to work a landlord through that decision, before it becomes a problem, is the difference between a stalled deal and a closed one.

Before I was a restaurant broker, I was a Chef, Restaurant Owner, and Operator for 37 years. That experience is why F&B owners trust me to help them sell on their terms.

That question doesn't have one answer. It depends on what you're solving for.

➤ If time is on your side, we build an exit strategy together, cleaning up the numbers and strengthening the story before you go to market.

➤ If the business isn't performing the way you hoped, there's often more here to sell than you'd think. Let's talk about what that looks like.

Either path works. The first conversation is where we figure out which one is yours.
