Brad Reeder
Belize Business Brokers & Advisors
Serving Wake County, NC
Belize Business Brokers was founded by Entrepreneur Brad Reeder. Having opened and operated businesses in both the US, when Brad first came to Belize there were no "Business Services" models (and Belize Business Brokers is the only to this day) to help with evaluating the business potential, or to advise how to start a Belizean Corporation, navigate banking rules and regulations for foreigners and to help with licensing and permitting, immigration requirements and work permit submissions - all of the things you need to start a business in a foreign country. We provide all of the above. We are NOT Realtors. Realtors evaluate a property (most often a residential property) and work in square feet and "do you like the view and location"). As a business broker, we help you navigate profitability, upfront starting cost, ROI and profitability. Quite simply, we look at the numbers, how much you will need to invest to receive the desired ROI ("Return on investment") and evaluate your expenses. A business is your single most important purchase in life - more than a home or condo. Why? The BUSINESS is what generates your INCOME. Your business pays for your home and lifestyle - a successful business is a successful lifestyle. We'd like to help you create your Caribbean lifestyle. Just as you wouldn't hire a real estate agent to sell you a car / or repair that car because they don't understand all of the moving parts and performance criteria, nor would you want a person selling you a business that doesn't understand and have knowledge about "all of the moving parts". We are professionals in Business, business evaluation and business consulting and Services - when investing in your life's most important purchase, more knowledge and critical evaluation are crucial. We are not here to "sell you" (whether that's square footage or a nice view), but to advise and to help you make the most important purchase or investment of your life allow you to achieve your successful lifestyle choice and obtain your desired goals. We look forward to speaking with you.

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.
