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.

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.
