COPY AND PASTE THE LINK BELOW FOR A FREE MEMBERSHIP https://www.vestedbb.com/free-member-page.html Nathan Goldstein, Chief Executive Officer, founded Vested Business Brokers in January 2000. At that time Nathan was a successful Wall Street investment banker who participated in helping to raise over one billion dollars to fund various projects. However, a number of the deals Nathan hoped to bring to fruition fell apart because of the disparity between the financial information principals were claiming, and the factual financial information uncovered during due diligence. It just was not possible to create parameters in advance that could help in predetermining the veracity of the financials of any deal that was up for consideration. This was because there was no way to compare the financial reporting of a company seeking investment against the reported financial data of existing companies of the same type. There simply was no database in existence at the time that contained this "comparable information," and it was Nathan's desire to create one that led to the birth of Vested Business Brokers.

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

How much do restaurant owners earn?
The median reported discretionary earnings for restaurant businesses listed for sale in Pennsylvania is $150,000. Earnings can vary greatly depending on the type of restaurant, location, management efficiency, and market demand.
How are restaurants in Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania restaurant business listings, revenue multiples range from 0.34 to 0.86, with the median at 0.54. Earnings multiples range from 1.76 to 3.37, with the median at 2.50. This means restaurants in Pennsylvania are valued, on average, around 0.54 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.
