Downloadable grocery deal guides

Print these. Write on them. Bring the marked copy to the intro. Grocery Store Business Broker does not hide the files behind a form.

For sellers

Confidential Seller Playbook (PDF) — recast order of operations, confidentiality rules, the file buyers open, and the license calendar. Three pages.

If you are exiting, also read the seller hub and how to sell confidentially.

For buyers

Buyer Underwriting Workbook (PDF) — sales proof, shrink, rent, DSCR, and cash-to-close that is not the headline price. Three pages.

Then use the buyer hub and the SBA 7(a) guide.

For both sides of the table

SDE Valuation Worksheet (PDF) — add-backs, inventory at cost, and a multiple band you can defend. Two pages. Pair it with the valuation pillar and the in-browser calculator.

Closing & License Checklist (PDF) — LOI conditions, SNAP re-application, alcohol, count night, tax clearance, first 30 days. Two pages. Pair it with how a sale works.

How to use a worksheet on the call

1. Circle the lines you cannot fill.
2. Write the weekly sales you actually believe.
3. Book the intro call. Jason Taken will recast from your paper, not from a neighbor’s rumor.

These files cite FMI channel facts and BizBuySell’s published grocery multiples where they speak. They do not invent a local sold-comp or a SNAP retailer count.

Guide	Who	Job
Seller playbook	Owner	Quiet process and a file
Buyer workbook	Acquirer	Underwrite before you tour
SDE worksheet	Both	Same language for price
Close checklist	Both	Licenses and the count

When a page is marked, book the intro and bring it to the call.

Worked math for Downloadable grocery deal guides

These figures are a teaching walk-through for Downloadable grocery deal guides, not a quote and not a sold comp. Order of operations: weekly sales, recast SDE, inventory at cost, then a multiple band.

Input or output	Illustrative figure
Weekly sales (illustrative)	$78,000
Annual sales	$4,056,000
Recast SDE	$125,736 (3.1% of sales)
Inventory at cost	$225,333 (~18 turns)
Occupancy check	$89,232 / year (2.2% of sales)
Low going-concern	$476,805 at 2.00x SDE + inventory
High going-concern	$621,401 at 3.15x SDE + inventory
Sketch DSCR on a note	1.31

If weekly sales or shrink move 8 percent, the SDE and the note move with them. That is why Jason Taken starts with scan data and the lease, not with a neighbor's rumor multiple.

Book the intro call with your side of the table ready: seller files or buyer capital. The calendar is the only next step.
