Bars for Sale Spain

Buying a bar in Spain and escaping the rate race has been the dream of many British families for many years, I should know because my parents done just that back in the eighties. As with any Business in Spain you need to keep your eye's wide open and never take what anyone says as gospel without a second opinion. Your number one priority should be to find a good Solicitor (Abogado) and then find an agent that has bars on his or her books in the area where you are thinking of opening your bar.

Just an idea but I suggest you bookmark this page as you will definitely want to come back to this page again.

Coming to Spain for a weekend to look around is a waste of time! You will be too rushed, too stressed and in no position to make a sensible decision. Never come to Spain in July or August to buy it is too hot and unless you have been living in Dubai or Saudi will find the Spanish Summer is not the time to be looking at buying a business in Spain.

Buying a Bar is Spain often seems the easiest way to finance a new life in the Sun, cheaper fuel, cheap cigarettes great Schools, low crime and what could be better all of the Family working together it sounds great. The reality is that buying a Bar in Spain or any Business in Spain is a potential land mine and what started out as a dream can quickly become a living nightmare. (Sorry to burst your bubble but it's true)

I have compiled a series of things that you need to confirm before buying a bar in Spain.

n	Can the Solicitor recommend a reputable agent in the area that he or she does not represent that are specialists in selling Bars in the area that you are interested in and that has been trading for more than two years.
n	Once you have found the Bar that you are interested in ask your Solicitor to check with the Town Hall that the Bar has a valid Business license and when the Business License will expire.
n	Music If the Bar plays music does the Bar have a valid music license, as acquiring a Music License for Bar in Spain has become quite difficult in recent years due to noise pollution and Local Town Hall's (Ayuntamiento) are growing reluctant to issue new music licenses so if a music Bar is what you are looking for it is really important to get this checked out from the start. Never forget that whatever you are told MUST be confirmed by your Solicitor, imagine six months from now you have got a packed Bar with music playing and the Police turn up and tell you to turn the music off and shut your bar and keep your bar closed until you get the correct license! Be warned as I have seen this happen and quite often it will be another Bar in your town that has made the call to the Police claiming that your loud music is causing a disturbance and your children, elderly Mother, neighbors, cats, dogs, cousins and the whole street is affected! This is the kind of thing that does and will happen particularly if you are in a predominantly Spanish town where telling tales to the Police is a regular occurrence particularly if you have just bought a Bar that did not really do much Business then all of a sudden you are the new kid on the block and everyone is going to your Bar as opposed to their old regular Bar in the Town. You can imagine that these Bar owners are going to become a little agitated so despite what your Solicitor says you must see the music license and find out if it will be renewed when it comes up for renewal. It is not unusual for someone to have had their music license cancelled but still have the certificate on the wall and when you come to view the Bar and you ask do you have a music license and they point to the wall and say "yes" anyway just make sure that the Bar you are thinking of buying has a "Valid" and renewable" music license and when your Solicitor says "I have spoken to the Town Hall and they say everything is ok" tell your Solicitor this "Fantastic this is excellent news, did you get the name of the person you spoke to?" and "Can we get this in writing to protect ourselves?" What your Solicitors face carefully! If he continues with "Dont worry it is ok it's my Cousin routine" explain that this is a big investment and you must have everything confirmed in writing. Remember to always keep your cool, you can even suggest paying for your Solicitors time (No more than €60 an hour unless you are in Marbella) to accompany you to the Town Hall to speak with the person who said "Its ok" it's also worth telling your Solicitor that if you meet at 12 o'clock at the Town Hall after your meeting you would love to treat him to a slap up lunch at a nearby restaurant (The Spanish love a big lunch). Always remember that you need your Solicitor on your side but at the same time never let him think that he can waffle you or not take your instructions seriously, always remind him that this is what your Solicitor in the UK has demanded you to check and that you believe him but your Solicitor in the UK that your Family has used for centuries is an old stick in the mud at least your continued requests and instructions for everything to be done how you want it can be blamed on your UK Solicitor and you can pretend to be on your Spanish Solicitors side. This works a charm and what always gets their atention is the classic "If all of the papers are not in order our UK Solicitor will tell my Father will not to lend us the money... Never forget : "If you do not buy a Bar the Solicitor and Agent are out of pocket" so use this to your advantage
n	Debts belonging to the Bar Unlike in the UK when you buy a Bar in Spain you also inherit any debts that the Bar may have accumulated during the time it has been trading and to be fair most Bars do have debts as successful bars that can support a Family are pretty few and far between (despite what a person selling a Bar may tell you!) This is a serious pit fall imagine buying your dream Bar in Spain and then a creditor walks in demanding payment for goods not paid for! And as with most suppliers in Spain if you do not pay them within a reasonable time you will be summonsed to court and believe you me cries of "I bought the Bar in good faith" will get you nowhere. Yes it's crazy, Yes it's not fair..... But this is the Law in Spain.
