Restaurant Business Investigations
Know exactly what you're buying. Before you sign.
Sellers and landlords don't always tell you everything. We dig - lease terms, permit history, code violations, sales numbers, ABC status, equipment condition - so you walk into the deal with eyes open.
What we investigate
Lease and sublease terms, landlord disclosures, permit and Building & Safety history, Health Dept violations and red tags, ABC licensing status, CUB conditions, sales claims vs. POS / tax records, equipment age and condition, hood and grease compliance.
Hidden deal-killers we surface
Undisclosed code violations, expired permits, unpermitted construction, CUB conditions that block your concept, grandfather-protection traps, rent escalators, personal guaranty language, equipment that's leased not owned.
What you walk away with
A clear written report on the property, the business, and the seller's representations - plus a recommendation: proceed, renegotiate, or walk. One call can save six figures.
