The Process

From Listing to Sold — How It Works

Selling a food business involves more steps than a house sale. Here’s what to expect at each stage.

1

Value Your Business

Use our free valuation guide or speak to a broker. Setting a realistic price is the single biggest factor in sale speed.

2

Prepare Your Pack

Gather three years of accounts, lease documents, staff details and a trading summary. Buyers will ask for all of it.

3

Choose Your Package

Select the listing package that fits your timescale and budget. Your listing goes live within 24 hours of approval.

4

Manage Enquiries

Email alerts for every enquiry. You decide which buyers to engage and how much to share.

5

Agree & Complete

Instruct a hospitality solicitor to handle lease transfer, licensing and TUPE before exchanging.

The Community Advantage

No Other UK Marketplace Has This

Our Facebook group — UK Restaurants for Sale — has over 35,000 members actively buying and selling food businesses. When you list with us, your business is promoted into that community. Competitor sites don’t have this. It’s our biggest differentiator — and your biggest advantage as a seller.

Questions From Sellers

Listing packages start from a flat fee — see our pricing page for the full breakdown. There is no sale commission. You keep 100% of the sale proceeds.
It varies. Well-priced businesses in strong locations can attract offers within weeks. Businesses with complex leases or at the higher end of the market may take 3–9 months. Our Seller’s Guide has detailed tips on maximising your sale speed.
No — you can list and manage your own sale entirely through our platform. A broker adds value for complex, higher-value or confidential sales where professional support justifies the fee.
Yes. We offer listing options that don’t name the business or reveal its location publicly until a buyer has provided their details, protecting you from staff or customers finding out prematurely.
Most will request trading accounts (2–3 years), a copy of the lease, staff headcount and costs, and a brief summary of the business. Having this prepared significantly speeds up the sale process.
Yes — use our dedicated franchise advertising route, designed specifically for master franchisors and established food concept sellers targeting multi-site investors.
You receive an email alert with the buyer’s contact details. You decide how to proceed — share your information pack, invite them to view, or decline. We don’t share your details with anyone without your permission.
