Our services

Everything between curiosity and close

Most owners only sell once. We have run the process enough times in this state to know where Arizona deals stall — and how to keep yours moving.

01

Confidential valuation

A defensible opinion of value built from Arizona comparable sales, recast financials and the earnings a buyer will actually underwrite.

02

Sell-side representation

Positioning, offering materials, buyer qualification, negotiation and closing management from first conversation to wire.

03

Buy-side acquisition

A defined search, discreet outreach to off-market owners, financial screening and diligence support before you sign anything.

04

Restaurant transitions

Concept and asset sales, lease assignments, liquor licence transfer timing and the landlord conversations that decide a deal.

05

Deal structuring

Purchase price allocation, seller notes, earn-outs and working capital — structured so both sides can actually close.

06

Exit planning

Two or three years out: what to fix, what to document and what to remove so the business transfers cleanly at its best number.

Arizona Restaurant Sales

“In Arizona, a restaurant is a lease, a licence and a room full of regulars. We sell all three.”

Hospitality transactions are their own discipline. Leases, liquor licensing, equipment and goodwill rarely move in a straight line — ours do.

How it works

A quiet process, run in order

Employees, customers and competitors should hear about the sale when you are ready for them to — not before.

01

Confidential consultation

A private conversation about the business, your timing and what you want out of the sale. Nothing is listed, nothing is shared.

02

Valuation & positioning

We recast the financials, establish a supportable range and decide how the opportunity should be presented to the market.

03

Marketing under NDA

A blind teaser goes out first. Names, locations and financials are released only to buyers who qualify and sign.

04

Buyer vetting

Proof of funds, financing status and operating experience are confirmed before anyone sees the details of your business.

05

LOI to close

We negotiate the letter of intent, coordinate diligence, landlord and licensing items, and manage the file through to funding.

Making the
difference

Honest, ethical and confidential is not a slogan on a website. It is the reason most of our engagements arrive by referral from someone who has already sold with us.

Honest

A valuation you can defend and a buyer who can actually close. No inflated listing price to win the engagement.

Ethical

Every buyer is qualified and under NDA before they learn your name, your numbers or your location.

Confidential

Discretion from the first conversation. Staff, customers and competitors hear about the sale when you choose.

FAQs

Asked before every sale

  • Most transactions run four to nine months from engagement to close. Restaurants on an assigned lease can move faster; companies requiring SBA financing and full diligence usually take longer. The single biggest variable is how prepared the financials are before we go to market.

  • Not from us. Every engagement is marketed under a blind profile first. The business name, address and financial detail are released only to buyers we have qualified and who have signed a non-disclosure agreement.

  • Value comes from cash flow a buyer can finance, adjusted for inventory, owner compensation and one-time items. Restaurants are often valued on a multiple of seller's discretionary earnings plus equipment and lease value; general businesses trade on a multiple of adjusted EBITDA. A confidential valuation gives you a supportable range rather than a guess.

  • No, but it changes the conversation. Owners who know their number negotiate from a position of information, and buyers respond to a business that can document its earnings. It also tells you what to fix if your timing is a year or two out.

  • Yes. Buy-side representation includes a defined search, outreach to off-market owners, financial screening and diligence support. Buyers sign the same confidentiality terms our sellers expect.

  • A conversation, then two to three years of tax returns and profit and loss statements. We handle the recasting, the offering materials and the buyer conversations from there.

Ancillary real estate

Commercial Real Estate Brokerage

Alongside our business sale work, HUB AZ Brokers assists clients with the sale of ancillary real estate assets — the commercial properties, land, and related real estate that so often sit alongside an operating business.

Many Arizona owners hold their real estate in a separate entity from the company they run. We help untangle the two, whether the property transfers with the business or is marketed and sold separately to the same qualified buyer pool we already work with.

Assets we represent

  • Owner-user commercial buildings
  • Retail and office properties
  • Industrial and flex space
  • Restaurant and hospitality real estate
  • Vacant land and development parcels
  • Ground leases and investment sales
