Restaurant exit planning & brokerage
Closeout Hospitality helps restaurant owners prepare, position, and sell their businesses without leaving critical value on the table. We understand the leases, licenses, equipment, and financial realities that make restaurant deals different.
Private from the first conversation. No obligation to list.
Before you list
Find the deal-breakers while you can still fix them.
What to expect
Your staff, guests, and market do not need to know you are exploring an exit.
Lease assignment, liquor licensing, equipment liens, and normalized earnings are addressed early.
You receive a defensible market view—not a flattering number designed only to win a listing.
A restaurant-first process
The strongest sale is shaped months before a buyer sees the listing. We work through the risks in the order they can affect value and closing certainty.
We reconcile tax returns, owner add-backs, seasonality, labor, occupancy, and equipment obligations so buyers can understand what the business truly earns.
Normalized earnings review
Lease and lien risk scan
License transfer pathway
Value range and exit options
A confidential buyer narrative, controlled information flow, and qualification process protect the business while building credible interest.
We coordinate the buyer, landlord, lenders, attorneys, and licensing timeline through diligence and handoff.
Available consultations

Your exit can start quietly
Share where your restaurant stands and what timing you have in mind. The first conversation is confidential and focused on whether an exit is realistic—not pressuring you to list.
