Topsail Capital Advisors
Serving Gwinnett County, GA
Topsail Capital Advisors is a leading nationally recognized middle-market M&A advisory firm specializing in selling founder-owned companies, typically working with owners that are families or entrepreneurs to help guide them through a successful sale process. TCA strives to help our clients accomplish their goals to sell or recap their business while maximizing the price, terms, structure, and fit of any transaction. Our extensive network of contacts and relationships with private equity firms, family offices, and corporate buyers extends across the country. TCA was founded by twenty-year business M&A and commercial real estate veteran Mark Griffin, CM&AA, CCIM. While Mr. Griffin and his team of Analysts and specialty advisors have clients located throughout the US, we focus on privately held lower middle market companies located within the southeastern US. TCA also provides buy-side advisory for private equity groups, family offices, and corporations seeking add-on acquisitions. TCA is a member of the Alliance of Merger & Acquisition Advisors (AM&AA) and the Certified Commercial Investment Member Institute (CCIM). The TCA team are experts in conducting business and real estate market valuations as well as structuring sale-leaseback arrangements whereas the business is sold and the building or facility is in turn “leased back” to the business purchaser. The real estate is then sold separately to private investors/ groups which allows the owner to capitalize on both the sale of the business and real estate at exit.

How are restaurants in Georgia valued?
Most business owners (and buyers) will start by applying earnings and revenue multiples to the businesses reported financials. This way buyers and sellers can gauge the value of a restaurant business relative to its peers in the market.
Based on our most recent analysis of Georgia restaurant business listings, revenue multiples range from 0.34 to 0.67, with the median at 0.46. Earnings multiples range from 1.82 to 3.07, with the median at 2.27. This means restaurants in Georgia are valued, on average, around 0.46 times annual revenue, and/or 2.27 times annual owner earnings.
On average, businesses sell for about 80-90% of asking price, so valuation multiples based on active listings tend to be higher than closed sale multiples.
