Frequently asked questions

How do I sell a restaurant group or hospitality business?

Through a professional, confidential process: valuation of the company and its brands, preparation of the information memorandum, identification and qualification of buyers, negotiation, and coordination with legal, tax and financial advisers through to closing. In every case, choosing the right counterparty determines the outcome. We set out the phases and timing in how to sell a restaurant group.

What is my restaurant or F&B brand worth?

It depends on far more than EBITDA. Valuing a hospitality business means weighing brand strength, quality of locations, cost structure, management team and the ability to replicate the model. That is why we value it with the eye of people who have run businesses in the sector. We go into this in what is a restaurant worth, and the valuation calculator gives you a first indication.

Can I sell only part of the business and stay at the helm?

Yes. As well as full sales, we advise on partial sales and on bringing in financial or industrial partners who contribute capital and capabilities. The structure is designed for each transaction around the owner’s objectives.

How do I find an investor to fund new openings?

We look for the right counterparty within our network of investors and strategic partners in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, to finance new openings, acquisitions or entry into new markets.

What information should I have ready?

A proven business model, well-organised financial information and a clear view of the capacity to scale. With that we can value the company and prepare the information memorandum and investor documentation.

How is confidentiality protected?

All information received is treated in the strictest confidence and a Link Capital partner personally reviews every request. Business documentation is only shared with selected counterparties and with your authorisation.
