Description

Here is your turnkey cafe, located in a fast growing rural town, ready for your hands-on approach, your love for serving and connecting with people, and your immediate influence in creating an even more profitable operation. A lot of new housing development is happening, resulting in more foot traffic and more sales.

Key highlights:
- Owner has not ever worked a day in the business, which means loads of upside and cost controls.
- Hours of operation are only 8 - 3 pm or 4 pm (6 days a week) and 9 - 3 pm the rest.
- Over 1800 sft on street level and an equal amount in the basement, which can be leveraged to create further business. Many possibilities!
- The new owner can continue running the business as a cafe or it can also be easily converted to many other types of food establishments.
- The cafe offers breakfast and lunch as well as catering services.

The sale structure is an Asset Sale. Inventory is to be counted and sold at cost, in addition to the agreed selling price, unless otherwise negotiated.

By completing the NDA and becoming adequately qualified, you will be sent a full Offering Memorandum that will answer most, if not all, of your questions.

* Seller's Discretionary Earnings (“SDE”) is a calculation of the total financial benefit that a single full time owner-operator would derive from a business on an annual basis. SDE is the pretax and pre-interest profits, before non-cash expenses, owner's benefits, one time investments, and any non-related income or expenses. SDE may require that expenses be adjusted if a new owner (Purchaser) will necessarily need to take on a new expense. SDE is also referred to as Adjusted Cash Flow, Total Owner's Benefit, Seller's Discretionary Cash Flow, or Recast Earnings.

** Please refer to our Minimum Equity requirements. Our expectations are for a buyer to be "capable" of making a minimum 35% down payment on the final negotiated purchase price, to be considered truly qualified. Typical loan amortizations for businesses like this range from 7 years to 10 years. Feel free to run some of your own calculations here:
