Recurring Hospitality Inventory Audit Franchise, 62% SDE Margin For Sale

Canada
Asking Price:
$450,000 (CAD) Furniture / Fixtures included
Sales Revenue:
$284,855 (CAD)
Cash Flow:
$176,855 (CAD)

Franchise-backed beverage inventory and cost-control service for bars, restaurants and hotels, operated under the same ownership since 1997.

The business performs recurring, independent on-site liquor inventory audits using franchisor-supplied scanning apps and precision scales that integrate with clients' POS systems, producing variance and pour cost reports that help operators cut waste and protect margins. About 80 audits per month run on weekly and bi-weekly cycles across 33 active clients, with average client tenure of 10+ years.

FY2025 revenue was $284,855 with SDE of $176,855 (62% margin), up from $188,697 in revenue in FY2020. The business is home-based with no lease, two owner-partners working about 20 hours per week combined, and one long-tenured full-time field auditor.

With roughly 1,800 liquor licenses in the territory and under 4% currently served, a new owner can grow through dedicated sales, the franchisor's food cost control package, and additional field staff. Asking price $450,000 (approx. 2.5x SDE), with 2 to 4 weeks of transition support included.

Property Information

Location:

Home-based, territory-based service business in Canada; services are delivered on site at client venues across an exclusive franchise territory.

Premises Details:

Home-based office. No lease, no rent and no real estate included in the sale.

Business Operation

Management type:
This business is owner operated.
Expansion Potential:

Roughly 1,800 liquor licenses in the territory against about 85 active audits. Growth levers: a dedicated sales effort, adding the franchisor's food cost control package, and hiring further field auditors and data entry support. Larger franchisees in the system run 200 to 300 clients.

Competition / Market:

No competing local independent auditors or national chains identified in the territory. The main alternative is venues counting their own stock in-house, which forfeits the independent verification clients pay for. Nearly 30 years of local presence and franchisor technology that integrates with leading POS systems are key advantages.

Reasons for selling:

After nearly 30 years the owners are ready to retire. The sale is not driven by any deterioration in clients or earnings.

Trading hours:

Field audits start around 5:00am and finish before venues open; year-round weekly and bi-weekly cycles. Office work (data entry, reporting, invoicing) is flexible, about 20 hours per week combined.

Employees:
3
Years established:
