Texas Restaurant Advisors
Serving Rockwall County, TX
The goal of Texas Restaurant Advisors is to serve restaurants, bars, clubs, venues, caterers, food trucks and more in North Texas region. What separates Texas Restaurant Advisors and bigInk Commercial Real Estate is our laser like focus on the hospitality industry. Offering tenant, buy side and sell side representation, we guide entrepreneurs through the process of making an exit, acquiring a business, lease negotiations and expanding their concept into new locations around Texas. Because of our experience, there are variables and details many business brokers do not ask that are second nature to us. Confidentiality is critical to an owner when they consider selling and that is a main focus of ours. Limited information is shared on our listing page, databases available to business brokers and other marketing initiatives. Only after an in-depth review is conducted on prospective buyers and a non-disclosure agreement is signed off on, will additional information and instructions will be shared. Furthermore, there are no up-front “listing” fees, we believe our compensation should be based on success. Other business brokers and restaurant websites charge $10,000 to $15,000 just to market your business for sale along with a minimum commission. Our compensation is structured where there is an incentive to get a deal in place within 90 days. Visit our website for more information: www.texasrestaurantadvisors.com
