If you aren't sure what you need, put negotiations on hold until you gain a clearer understanding of your own deal parameters.

Realistic Expectations

Objectivity is a rare commodity in a business sale. You have invested yourself in making your Spanish restaurant the success it is today, but in the eyes of prospective buyers, your operation is only worth fair market value. Although it may be a hard pill to swallow, you need to find a way to introduce objectivity into your sale.
