FAQ
Questions answered.
What is a restaurant business investigation?+
A pre-purchase diligence package: lease and assignment review, ABC license history, code and permit status, sales verification, equipment condition, vendor contracts, and prior Health inspection records — delivered before you wire a deposit.
My deal is stuck. Can you help?+
Yes. Buyer/tenant resolutions are a core practice — landlord disputes, escrow holds, license-transfer snags, permit denials. We diagnose the blocker and negotiate to a close.
Do you advise European investors using the E-2 visa?+
Yes. We package E-2-ready restaurant acquisitions for European entrepreneurs — see our E-2 Visa (Europe) page.
How do you charge for advisory work?+
Either a flat retainer for a defined scope or hourly. Quoted on the consultation call after we've reviewed the situation.
