From restaurants to food manufacturers and specialty distributors, Sunbelt helps Wisconsin food and beverage business owners sell to qualified buyers.
Wisconsin's food and beverage industry is one of the strongest in the nation, with food processing contributing over $107 billion to the state economy. Whether you own a restaurant, food manufacturing operation, craft brewery, or specialty food business, Sunbelt understands what drives value in this industry.
We work with food and beverage business owners under $5 million in revenue. Our brokers know the industry—revenue trends, food costs, staffing challenges, equipment valuations, and the importance of recipes, processes, and customer relationships. We present your business professionally to qualified buyers.
Restaurants and food businesses require careful handling during a sale. Staff and customers shouldn't know you're selling until the right buyer is found. We maintain complete confidentiality throughout the process.
