We provide services that will make deals go smoothly. We offer a full range of investment banking and strategic advisory services, and are involved in both restaurant concepts and franchised restaurants in the multi-unit restaurant industry.

  • Valuation of restaurant companies

Valuations of Restaurant Companies

This is a service that is included when ARS is representing a buyer or seller of a restaurant service. Business valuation considers the ability of the company to be financed as well as the market conditions. There's a fine line between being too high and losing out on a prospective buyer, and too low and not realizing the highest potential sale price. We explain the process to both the buyer and seller, because the better the market value is understood, the better chance a deal will be consumated. We have many years' experience in creating valuation models that take into account:

      
  • Brand strength
  • Comparable restaurant sales
  • The property's sales/profit trends
  • Value/affordability
  • Financing
  • Return on investment

Our services include:

  • Business and strategic planning with the customer
  • Concept evaluation and positioning and planning for future growth
  • Joint venture and strategic partner evaluation
  • Capital structure evaluation and balance sheet consulting

Financing for Acquisitions

We identify and can arrange competitive financing for acquisitions. We have close relationships with many lenders who are familiar with financing multi-unit restaurant properties. We keep in close contact with them to monitor the constantly changing market conditions. When seeking a lender, we speak to several financing sources and private equity firms to determine the level of financing available. We will work with the lenders as much as necessary to keep the process moving.

Representation of Creditors

We have substantial experience in default and bankruptcy situations and can guide you through the process. There are many ways to address the unique problems involved in these sales and navigating through the process is one of our specialties. Our expertise includes:

   
  • Divestiture of a business in a 363 Bankruptcy sale
  • Balance sheet debt restructuring and renegotiation
  • Partial liquidations (company resizing, divesting business units or divisions
  • Turnaround capital including DIP financing
  • Acquisitions of troubled or bankrupt companies
