Steve Mueller
Midway Business Brokerage
Serving Ocean County, NJ
Steve Muller and Mutty Tress partnered up as founders of Midway Business Brokerage. We meet the seller and buyer mid-way to ensure a smooth sale. Combined, we have years of experience and many successful deals completed. We take a personal and analytical approach. Before working on the sale, we sit down with the seller to evaluate their business. Then, we match the seller with a list of vetted buyers to begin the process. All our buyers are required to sign an NDA and provide proof of funds. Discretion is important to us, just like it’s important to you. That’s why many businesses have trusted us to be the mid-way point between them and the buyer.

How do I value a restaurant business?
Valuing a restaurant business involves analyzing several factors, including annual revenue, earnings, profit margins, location, brand reputation, and physical assets. Most business owners (and buyers) will look at earnings and revenue multiples to gauge the value of a restaurant business relative to its peers in the market.
Based on our most recent analysis, sellers are looking for a revenue multiple between 0.29 and 0.61, with the median at 0.41. Earnings multiples range from 1.77 to 3.19, with the median at 2.41. So, a typical restaurant business will be priced around 0.41 times its annual sales, and 2.41 times its owner's annual discretionary earnings.
