So this is way for ME to make money, not really anyone else lol, (unless you find yourself in a similar situation haha) but I’m hoping some of you can help with how I go about doing this…

So my mom owns a small restaurant… I mean small, probably seats about 8 tables inside and maybe 15-20 outside. Anyway she’s selling it… I want to ask her if she’d give me a % of the sale’s price if I found her a buyer. I know several business owners in town who I can personally reach out to, but my question is…

How do I reach out to other business owners in a professional manner who might be interested in this business opportunity? I live in a fairly large beach town in California and tourism here is HUGE and there are many very successful restaurant owners who might be interested in this opportunity, and I might be able to make some cash if I can present them with this opportunity.

Do I just walk in and ask to speak to the manager/owner? What do I say? Do I call ahead and ask to set up a time to meet with them? What do I say to get that meeting “I’d like to speak to your owner about buying my mom’s restaurant?” LOL… I’m not very “salesy” at all so I could really use some help on how to approach this :) Also what % of the sales price should I ask for from my mom should I find her a buyer? (And word from my sister says she wants to sell asap and is having a hard time finding someone to buy, so she might take me up on this).

Thanks for any tips/advice!
