Client Objective & Strategy

Nova Barber Ltd was seeking a cash-flowing service-based business with operational upside. The buyer identified the barbershop model as one with immediate potential to:

• Add additional chairs and expand service capacity

• Restructure rent collection from booth renters

• Drive NOI growth through marketing and operational refinement

Our role was to structure a clean exit for the seller while securing long-term tenancy that met both the buyer’s business plan and the landlord’s expectations. The lease was drafted and finalized during the 45-day escrow, with landlord approval and terms aligned to allow for a smooth transition.

Transaction Complexity & Execution

This deal required close coordination between:

• The business sale,

• A new long-term lease, and

• The landlord’s review and consent under their corporate structure

All elements were negotiated in parallel to ensure continuity and a clean handoff. The result:
✔ A successful exit for the founder
✔ A value-add opportunity for the new owner
✔ A satisfied landlord with a reliable tenant under strong lease terms
