Sector

Buy or Sell an F&B Business in the UAE

The UAE F&B sector remains one of the most active acquisition markets in the region, with operating restaurants, cafés, and franchise concepts changing hands at a pace that few other sectors match.

Demand from individual buyers, family offices, and small operating groups continues to absorb new supply, particularly in Dubai's mid-market dining segment and Abu Dhabi's emerging F&B clusters. Multiples typically sit between 0.3x and 0.8x of annual revenue, with EBITDA multiples for stabilised concepts ranging from 2.5x to 4x depending on lease terms, brand strength, and operator dependency.

Owner-led F&B sales on SHARH are structured with full NDA coverage from the first conversation. Public listings on our marketplace omit identifying details — branding, exact address, and financials are only released to buyers who have signed an NDA and completed initial qualification.

Buyers benefit from pre-vetted opportunities with verified P&L data, transferable trade licences, and lease audit. The SHARH process compresses the gap between the day a buyer expresses interest and the day they have enough information to make a credible offer — typically two to three weeks for ready-to-transfer concepts.

Typical multiples
0.3x – 0.8x revenue (mid-market), 2.5x – 4x EBITDA
For buyers
If you're acquiring an F&B business, ask for the SHARH F&B buyer brief: a single PDF covering lease structure, manpower licence transferability, and the most common DD pitfalls in UAE F&B deals.
For sellers
Sellers receive a structured pre-marketing review covering documentation readiness, valuation calibration against recent comparable transactions, and a confidential go-to-market plan.
