How to Buy a Restaurant in North Carolina

A step-by-step guide to restaurant and second-generation foodservice acquisitions.

Define your acquisition goals. Choose upfront: day-one cash flow, a second-generation space to renovate, or discounted property and equipment. Decide whether you're buying a job or a passive investment.
Find and evaluate the building. Work with commercial brokers in North Carolina who know equipment, licensing, and leases. Check foot traffic, parking, competition, and zoning using local market insights.
Understand building value. Value the real estate and the business separately. Price the business on Seller's Discretionary Earnings and a market multiple, prioritizing margins and equipment condition over revenue.
Complete due diligence. Review three years of P&Ls, tax returns, and bank records. Verify add-backs, seasonality, lease assignment, and liquor and health license transfers.
Make and negotiate the offer. Allocate the price across real estate, business, equipment, and goodwill, negotiate seller financing and a non-compete, and benchmark against recently sold North Carolina commercial comps.
Close and take ownership. Finalize financing, transfer the lease and licenses, confirm suppliers, POS, and inventory systems, and hold reserves for the post-transition sales dip.
