Qualified buyers should review the underlying SDE calculation, tax returns, payroll, liquor costs and any adjustments used to arrive at reported owner earnings.

Lease and licensing

The property is leased, and the seller reports favorable terms for an approved buyer.

The listing states that the liquor license is part of the transaction. Buyers should confirm the exact licensing structure and applicable Mississippi and local requirements, as liquor licenses and related approvals should not be assumed to transfer automatically with the business.

Financing

Financing may be available to qualified buyers through a combination of buyer equity, third-party acquisition financing and possible seller financing. Terms will depend on the buyer, lender and final transaction structure.

Confidentiality and buyer review

Detailed financial statements and SDE documentation are available to qualified buyers after execution of a confidentiality agreement.

Buyers should also review lease assignment, equipment ownership, staffing, entertainment permits, liquor licensing, insurance and any prepaid event or customer obligations before closing.
