Why You Should Attend

The restaurant industry represents perhaps the single most fertile ground for business appraisers: total industry employment equal to 9% of the U.S. workforce despite the fact that 91% of all restaurants have fewer than 50 employees.  Yet these opportunities come with inherent valuation challenges, represented by a great deal of variety within the industry, and requiring a certain agility on the part of any appraiser working in this space.  As Ed Moran, author of BVR’s soon-to-be-released Guide to Restaurant Valuation, said in his introduction to the Guide, “It seemed odd to me that a restaurateur would work his or her entire life and then determine the value of this life’s work with a simple multiple.”

In “Valuing Restaurants” on August 6, Moran will be joined by Guide contributors Kevin Yeanoplos and John Hall for an in-depth discussion of the best techniques for valuing any restaurant.  Covering franchises, restaurant financing, the dos-and-don’t's of market research, which questions must be asked during any appraisal, and the useful and useless rules of thumb, this presentation is a must for anyone called to value a restaurant.
