Bars
for sale in Spain
For many years foreigners have been relocating to Spain and buying a bar, especially
on the Costa de Sol. Buying a bar in Spain is not as simple as it may first
appear and the pitfalls are numerous. There are many legalities that have to
be taken care of and you must be aware of the hard work that will be required
of you. The first thing you will need is a good agent on your side. Make sure
you choose a professional agent who specialises in commercials; not an ex-bar
owner who failed in their own bar so has turned to selling bars for a living.
Here at Rightbar.com we have a full team of experts who will guide you through
the entire process.
The choice of bars for sale in Spain on the Costa del Sol varies considerably
from little back street watering holes to full music venues and quality restaurants.
The prices vary too from a few thousand pounds up to millions.Providing you
purchase in the right area, you stand a good chance of 
making
a good living. Do not however, think that running a bar in Spain is going to
be an extended holiday! Be prepared for long hours and lots of little problems
- all of which can be solved quite simply and most can be prepared for well
in advance.
If you intend to serve to a tourist market then the coastal strips such as the
Costa del Sol are perfect. If you find the right location on the coast you may
also tap into the huge foreign resident market. Sea front bars are not always
the best choice. They may be busy in the summer but can be quiet in the winter.
Back street bars are often the locals for residents, providing that you can
give them what they want.
Every bar for sale in Spain must have a licence to open. Make sure that your
agent checks this - we ALWAYS ENSURE that our bars are fully legal. This is
vital. If you buy a bar without a licence [this happens a lot when you buy without
an agent], you will almost certainly be closed down within a short space of
time. The police are very strict on this and non-compliance can cost you everything.
To stage live music in a bar in Spain you have to have a music licence.
