How long does it take to sell a restaurant in Houston?

Most sales take 3 to 9 months, depending on the business, the lease, and how ready the financials are.

Do I need my landlord's approval to sell?

Almost always. Most restaurant leases require the landlord to approve the transfer to a buyer. The years left on the lease and the assignment clause can change your price.

Can I sell a franchise restaurant?

Yes. A franchise resale needs two approvals, the franchisor's and the landlord's. We plan the timeline around both.

Will my employees find out?

Not from us. Confidentiality is built into every step until you decide otherwise.

What does the valuation cost?

Nothing. It's free and there's no obligation.

Talk it through

We learn about your restaurant and your goals, then build a valuation we can support.

Prepare

We show you what helps or hurts the price before a buyer sees it.

Confidential marketing

We reach qualified buyers without your staff, vendors, or customers knowing.

Offers to closing

We handle negotiation, the landlord's approval of the lease transfer, and the path to closing.

Your sale stays private

Buyers sign a confidentiality agreement before they learn which restaurant is for sale. Tours happen outside service hours. The landlord isn't approached until a qualified buyer is under contract.
