Frequently Asked Questions for Bar Business Sellers

What types of bar businesses do you help sell?

We assist with the sale of neighborhood bars, sports pubs, wine bars, nightclubs, craft breweries, lounges, and gaming-licensed bars across the U.S.


Can you help with bars that include gaming?

Yes—we have experience selling bars with video gaming, slots, and other regulated gambling operations in states that allow gaming. We understand the licensing process and the valuation impact of gaming revenue.


How do you determine what my bar is worth?

We analyze your revenue, profit margins, liquor and gaming licenses, lease terms, staff, customer base, location, and local market demand. We also compare your business to similar bar sales to determine fair market value.


How do you protect my confidentiality during the sale?

We use blind listings and require buyers to sign NDAs and in many cases provide proof of their funds to purchase before disclosing your identity or business details. We also discreetly screen inquiries to protect your staff and operations.


What documents do I need to provide?

Typically: 2–3 years of financials (P&L, tax returns), a list of equipment and inventory, liquor and/or gaming license copies, lease details, and staffing info. We’ll guide you step-by-step.

 It’s up to you. Some sellers walk away at closing. Others stay on temporarily or even continue to bartend or manage under a rental or employment agreement. We’ll help negotiate a deal that fits your preferences.


How long does it take to sell a bar?

Most bar businesses sell within 3 to 9 months, depending on factors like pricing, location, and licensing. The more prepared and organized your business is, the faster the process tends to move. However, keep in mind that timelines can vary based on local, state, or even country-specific licensing requirements, especially when gaming licenses are involved.


Can you help improve the value of my business before listing it?

Yes—we offer guidance on maximizing value by improving operations, organizing financials, and highlighting strengths like management, customer base, or location. Our seller guide offers actionable steps to prepare.
