Passive Ownership in Sports Restaurant
Sold
Specifications
Located in a higher income neighborhood in Lincoln, this family fun sports bar is a popular lunch spot and sporting event hangout. With sales consistently over $900,000, the current owner averages a 25% profit margin. In operation for 12 years, the food and atmosphere of the bar has made it a local mainstay. Its proximity to schools and local businesses draws a strong lunch crowd who enjoy the “Mom and Pop” food specials on the menu.
The casual dining feel is blended with an Alpine ski lodge look, with pine booths and a large wood and stone awning around the bar. Beer drinkers are treated to 19 drafts on tap, and 50 kegs are always kept ready in the 40x10 walk-in cooler. Seating for 150 is spread between bar stools, booths and tables, and the 5,000-sq. ft. building feels even more spacious with the high, open ceilings.
The current owner averages 20 hours/week managing 26 employees and helping out where needed. There is a full-time manager in place who could easily handle these duties, but a part-time person would be needed to cover her days off.
Open 7 days a week, patrons have an extensive food and spirits menu to choose from, and are quick to utilize the 40x20 outdoor patio when the weather is nice.
A buyer paying 20% down ($113,000) would net $182,506 after debts the first year, representing a 161% return. As the only bar in the neighborhood, a new owner could easily increase profits by capitalizing on nearby sporting event traffic.

Valuation Details
The Firm Business Brokerage used a Cash Flow Valuation methodology to determine the Purchase Price of the business. The formula used is as follows:
Cash Flow x Multiplier = Price
Cash Flow is the sum of net income plus any owner perks and non-onward going expenses.
Multiplier is a prescribed number between 1 and 5 determined by a 100-point, 20-question rating system used to determine the business valuation (average is 3).
The Cash Flow for 2016 is $268,739, and the prescribed Multiplier is 2.8.
$268,739 x 2.8 = $752,469
The List Price for the business is set at $565,000 to accommodate the seller’s eager desire to retire within the next six months.
