Atlantic Coast Business Advisors

Serving Rutherford County, NC

Atlantic Coast Business Advisors was founded to help businesses and their owners set and reach their goals through sales, marketing, and business development. It is through our consulting work that in 2019, a client requested us to assist in selling their business.

From this adventure, we adjusted our focus and set out to be the change the business brokerage industry desperately needs.  Our mission is to provide unparalleled support and guidance to business owners and buyers in matters of strategic planning, acquisitions, and exit strategies. With extensive experience across various industries and countless transactions under our belt, from negotiating, structuring, and closing deals, we are equipped to handle every element of the buying and selling process. We utilize the combined knowledge of our professional network to ensure that all transactions are handled efficiently and ethically while adhering to the highest standards of quality and confidentiality. Our goal is to provide our clients with a successful outcome that will help them exceed their goals and maximize the value of their business. We consider assisting in such important life decisions an honor and are committed to ensuring our clients feel confident when choosing us as their business advisors.

Restaurant Business Valuation Multiples and Financial Benchmarks


FAQs

How much does it cost to buy a restaurant in North Carolina?

The median asking price for restaurants in North Carolina is $340,000. However, prices can range significantly higher or lower depending on location, size, type, and the financial health of the business.

How much do restaurant owners earn?

The median reported discretionary earnings for restaurant businesses listed for sale in North Carolina is $150,000. Earnings can vary greatly depending on the type of restaurant, location, management efficiency, and market demand.

How are restaurants in North Carolina valued?

Most business owners (and buyers) will start by applying earnings and revenue multiples to the businesses reported financials. This way buyers and sellers can gauge the value of a restaurant business relative to its peers in the market.

Based on our most recent analysis of North Carolina restaurant business listings, revenue multiples range from 0.28 to 0.65, with the median at 0.43. Earnings multiples range from 1.97 to 3.33, with the median at 2.50. This means restaurants in North Carolina are valued, on average, around 0.43 times annual revenue, and/or 2.5 times annual owner earnings.

On average, businesses sell for about 80-90% of asking price, so valuation multiples based on active listings tend to be higher than closed sale multiples.
