##### Is Your Restaurant Ready to Sell? Our checklist gives you the Answer.

**Key Questions You Must Answer**

Over the last three years, have sales steadily grown, remained flat or decline?

**Are Financial Statements Ready?**

If your Profit and Loss statements are not up to date, it could indicate you are not ready to sell.

**Leases Matter**

Examine your lease to confirm that you have term plus option years that qualify the business for lending.

**Debt**

Understand who must be paid and when to know if you are ready to sell. Debt doesn't disqualify you from selling but you may need some guidance.
