Some businesses sell differently because the property, a license, or recurring revenue is part of the deal. Gas stations, car washes, restaurants, auto repair, self-storage, laundromats, hotels, and residential care are a specialty of mine across Southern California, valued and sold as one deal, with the real estate handled under my California DRE license, #02372118.
Each page covers how that business is valued, how the sale works, and how I handle the real estate, with regional detail across Southern California.

The liquor license, equipment and leaseholds, the lease or the building, and the concept.
Equipment and bays, technicians, BAR and smog licensing, environmental, and the real estate.
Cap-rate valuation, occupancy and rate optimization, expansion upside, and the real estate.
Equipment and utility analysis, the lease and its assignment, and semi-absentee cash flow.
RevPAR and cap-rate valuation, the franchise flag and PIP, management, and the real estate.
Board-and-care and assisted living: census, the Community Care Licensing transfer, and the real estate.
When a business comes with its real estate, you are really selling two things at once, an operating business and a piece of commercial property, and each is valued its own way. The business is valued on its earnings; the real estate is valued on its own, often on a capitalization rate or comparable sales. Blending them into one number leaves money on the table.
I value each side properly and help you decide the structure that fits your goals, sell the business and the property together, or keep the real estate and lease it to the buyer as long-term income. The real estate side is handled under my California DRE license, #02372118, while the business sale runs on a confidential, blind-profile process that protects your staff and customers until it closes.
