How BAA Helps
Hospitality & Travel
Owners Sell
BAA handles valuation, buyer outreach, and deal structuring for hospitality and travel business owners. We identify whether your buyer is an owner-operator using SBA financing or a strategic acquirer, position your business accordingly, and run a confidential process so your staff, guests, and vendors stay in the dark until the deal is done.

Here's where we answer the most common questions about
Hospitality & Travel
How is a hospitality or travel business valued?
Most hospitality and travel businesses are valued on a multiple of Sellers Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or EBITDA, typically in the 2.0x to 4.0x range. Occupancy rates, lease or real estate ownership, seasonality, and customer loyalty all affect where you land within that range.
Can I sell if the business depends heavily on me?
Yes, but buyers will want to see that operations are documented and staff can run the business without you. We help you prepare the business so it is transferable and commands a stronger multiple.
Will my staff and guests find out the business is for sale?
Not if we run the process correctly. BAA uses NDAs, blind teasers, and staged disclosure to keep the sale confidential until you are ready to bring key people into the conversation.
How long does it take to sell a hospitality or travel business?
Most deals close in 4 to 9 months. Clean financials, strong occupancy records, and a realistic asking price are the biggest factors in compressing that timeline.
Do I need to stay on after the sale?
Most buyers require a transition period of 60 to 90 days to ensure guest and staff continuity. We negotiate these terms on your behalf to protect your time and your payout.
