What the asking price buys

Cheaper cafes come with more revenue for the money: $4.62 of yearly revenue for every $1 asked under $100K, $1.87 over $1M.

Stated earnings repay the price in about a year under $100K and 2.0 years at $500K–$1M. Earnings are as the broker states them, usually before an owner’s wage.
