Re: Buying a bar
the problem is you as a new buyer will not be told about any debt and your lawyer will be useless,the agent will plead ignorance and your landlord will expect you to pay as he wont and will provide the lease that you signed to prove it
just to say i had a bar in fuengirola for 7 years,it was good and i just had the problems that running a business involves,but after i sold it and got out more i hear all the horror stories more often,maybe because its quieter now,i sold the bar 3 years ago,if you want to buy a bar be very careful |

If you employ a useless lawyer, expect him/her to be useless. Employ a good one and he/she will not be useless. Whilst there are indeed many useless lawyers out there, you can also find some gooduns. Just like any other group of people really in that respect. |

I suspect, as suggested, that it's because they're rented and not owned but also I think it's because expectations are too high. Salries (profits) are very low and hours very long. I also see (here anyway), that Brit bars don't attract too many Spanish and that's got to be the 'bread-and-butter' trade, surely. Anyway, best of luck to you, as I'd like to see someone beat the trend. |
Re: Buying a bar
read this ,,,,, Coca cola has admitted that while sales are holding steady in the supermarkets, they have seen a 6% reduction in sales in bars and restaurants. The reduction is put down to the current economic climate, where people are said to be going out less.

Re: Buying a bar
I left Spain 13 years ago so I'm not familiar with things any more... However, my guess is that, because the cost of living is so high nowadays and everything is getting so expensive all at once (petrol, food, properties/mortgages), people have to cut down on unnecessary things such as drinking...

Why not be a gardener, or some such thing, then you are out in the fresh air all day, and getting a lovely tan at the same time! Anyway, good luck with whatever you decide to do... (and of course, what would we do without people like you... ) |Have seen a few come and go as well.... :confused:
Oh and after a year and a half here i've never once mopped up sick....... |

Re: Buying a bar
Perhaps Coke obeys the lipstick law.
Women put off big purchases in a recession, but buy small treats instead, so sales of small treats like lipstick actually rise when things are bad. |
