What to check before buying a restaurant in BC

Look closely at the lease (rent, term, renewal options and whether it can be assigned to you), the sales and expenses, the seating capacity, and the condition of the kitchen equipment and hood. We'll help you review each item with your accountant and lawyer.

Liquor licences

In BC, restaurants usually operate under a food-primary liquor licence issued by the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch. A licence transfer needs approval, so we plan for it in the timeline from the start.

Independent restaurant or franchise?

An independent restaurant gives you freedom over the menu and brand. A franchise offers a proven system and name recognition, but comes with royalties and head-office approval. We list both and can explain the trade-offs.

Restaurants FAQ

Questions about buying restaurants

How are restaurants for sale valued?

Usually on their earnings (what the business makes for an owner after expenses), adjusted for the lease, location, equipment and how easily it can be handed over. We'll walk you through the numbers.

Why are restaurant listings confidential?

If staff, suppliers or regular customers hear a restaurant is for sale, it can hurt the business. Details are shared with serious buyers after an NDA.

Can I get a liquor licence transferred when I buy a restaurant?

In most cases, yes, with approval from BC's Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch. We build the approval process into the purchase timeline.
