Port Freight and Visitors
Savannah's port moves containers to the whole Southeast, which feeds trucking, warehousing and repair companies. Downtown and the islands bring visitors who keep restaurants, tours and lodging busy.
Buyers treat those two worlds differently. Freight firms are judged on drivers and contracts, while hospitality is judged on a full year of sales.
Seasonal Swings
Tourism rises and falls with the weather and with events. Show twelve months of numbers so a buyer sees the whole cycle, and explain any bad storm or slow season in plain words.
Restaurants should also read selling a restaurant or catering business.
Licenses in Chatham County
Local alcohol and business licenses are handled by the city and the county, and a change of ownership can mean a new application with fees. Ask both offices before you set a closing date.
Our alcohol license guide lists what to ask.
Short term rentals, tour operators and event firms also sell here. Buyers ask for permit records and booking history, so start collecting those early.
Get a Range First
You can ask before you decide. Request your valuation and a broker will call with a range.
