What types of bar businesses can I buy or sell?

We are pleased to offer business sales services for freehold and leasehold bars. Ensure you understand the difference before you proceed.

Freehold bars

A freehold bar transaction is one that involves the business and the building it currently operates in. With property involved, you can usually expect to pay a large fee for these firms.

Leasehold bars

Leasehold bars are deals that only include the business. You will, therefore, not own the physical premises and will need to enter a rental agreement with the building’s landlord.

“Successfully navigating bar sales requires a mix of market insight and an understanding of the hospitality sector. We bridge that gap, ensuring both buyers and sellers achieve their optimal outcome.”

What is the bar valuation process?

To value a bar, you must figure out its trading potential and how much its properties and assets are worth. Combining these valuations gives buyers and sellers a clearer understanding of the size of the opportunity, allowing all parties to negotiate a fair sale price.
