We assist buyers in acquiring various types of entertainment businesses, including live venues, event production companies, escape rooms, amusement parks, arcades, media production businesses, entertainment franchises, and more.
What is the typical process for buying an entertainment business through First Choice?
The process starts with an initial consultation to understand your preferences, followed by identifying suitable entertainment businesses, negotiating terms, and guiding you through the closing process.
Are financing options available for buying an entertainment business?
Yes, we work with lenders who specialize in financing entertainment business acquisitions, offering options such as small business loans, equipment financing, and SBA loans.
What is the typical timeline for purchasing an entertainment business?
The timeline can vary, but it generally takes several weeks to a few months from initial inquiry to closing, depending on the complexity of the business and negotiation process.
How do I ensure the business I’m buying is profitable?
You will have the opportunity to conduct a thorough due diligence, reviewing financial records, customer trends, supplier contracts, and local market conditions to confirm the business’s profitability.
Are there any hidden fees in the buying process?
Everything is fully transparent for all fees and costs involved in the buying process. The seller traditionally pays the broker fees and the buyer and seller typically split the expense of the third party closing entity. Your broker can review these items in detail as they can vary from state to state and industry type.
Do I need prior experience in the entertainment industry to buy the business?
While prior experience is helpful, it’s not required. We help you identify businesses for you to evaluate that match your skills and goals.
Beyond the initial purchase price, what other costs should I consider when buying an entertainment business?
Beyond the purchase price, you should factor in costs for security deposits for leased locations and utilities, also any desired legal and accounting services, loan closing costs (if financing), additional inventory costs, and working capital to cover initial operating expenses. The seller can often be helpful in developing a realistic budget for business related expenses.

Entertainment Business Seller FAQs
What types of entertainment businesses do you help sell?
We specialize in selling a wide range of entertainment businesses—live performance venues, nightclubs, event production, amusement and recreational facilities, arcades, escape rooms, digital content studios, and more.
How do you determine the value of my business?
We review the financial performance, growth potential, customer base, operational efficiency, market position, and your unique competitive advantage. We’ll pay special attention to determining your seller’s discretionary earnings to help you capture the highest price possible.
How long does it typically take to sell an entertainment business?
It depends on the complexity and readiness of your business. With accurate financials and strong preparation, deals can close in as little as 3–6 months.
Will I need to disclose my financials?
Yes—but only to serious, qualified buyers after they sign a confidentiality agreement. Clear, organized financials are key to building buyer trust and securing financing.
What can I do to increase my business’s value before selling?
Strengthen operations, develop a capable management team, invest in brand visibility, reduce customer concentration, and update your SOPs. These steps can lead to higher sale prices and faster deals.

Not necessarily. We negotiate transition terms based on your preferences. Some sellers stay on temporarily to support the handover; others exit quickly. We help you plan what works best.
Is there a right time to sell my entertainment business?
The best time is when your financials are strong and growth potential is clear. If you’re considering an exit in the next 1–3 years, let’s start planning now to position you for the best outcome.
What if my entertainment business had a rough year?
We understand industry fluctuations. If there's a clear recovery plan or strong historical performance, buyers will still be interested. We help tell the full story behind your numbers.
