FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a restaurant in Washington?

How much do restaurant owners earn?

How are restaurants in Washington 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 Washington restaurant business listings, revenue multiples range from 0.31 to 0.59, with the median at 0.40. Earnings multiples range from 2.29 to 3.65, with the median at 2.89. This means restaurants in Washington are valued, on average, around 0.40 times annual revenue, and/or 2.89 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.
