Why the good ones are not listed.
Owners sell quietly
The best businesses change hands between people who know each other · staff, suppliers and customers never see a listing
Listings are the leftovers
What reaches the portals has often been passed over by the people who could see the numbers
The numbers lie
Declared takings, undeclared costs, a lease that ends, a licence that cannot transfer
Paying too much
Buying the season, not the year · paying for goodwill that walks out with the owner
What Jamie does.
- The brief
- Type of business, area, budget, how hands-on you want to be, and the return you need. Clear enough that owners take the approach seriously.
- The search
- Owners approached privately and one at a time across the island, through a network built in Mallorca's restaurant, bar, hotel and leisure trade since 2019.
- The numbers
- Real takings, margins, rent, licences and staff costs checked before you make an offer, with the questions a seller would rather you did not ask.
- The deal
- Offer, structure and negotiation led for you, working with your lawyer, gestor and bank through to the keys.
- How it starts
- A free WhatsApp chat with Jamie, in any language. Buyer-side only, with no commission from the seller, for a full search or a one-off check of a business you have already found.
Built it. Lost it.
Built it again.
I've raised venture capital for my own companies and £130M alongside founders across more than 150 funding rounds, and advised over 350 business owners. I started in my family's restaurant at ten.
In 2018 I lost a business. I moved my family to Spain and rebuilt from nothing. The people I work with get someone who has made the expensive mistakes already.
The record.

Questions buyers ask.
What does it cost to buy a restaurant or bar in Mallorca?
Anything from a traspaso (lease transfer) of tens of thousands of euros for a small bar to several million for a hotel or a strong restaurant with freehold. The price depends on the licence, the lease, the location, the season and the real profit. Most buyers overpay for the summer and underestimate the winter.
Can a foreigner buy a business in Spain?
Yes. You need an NIE (tax number), usually a Spanish company or autónomo registration, and a bank account. Licences, especially for hospitality, are the part that catches people: some transfer with the business, some do not. Jamie checks this before you offer.
Are you an estate agent or a broker?
No. Jamie works only for the buyer, on a fixed fee, and takes nothing from the seller. That is the point: the advice is not tied to any particular sale going through.
I have already found a business. Can you check it?
Yes. A one-off review of the numbers, the lease, the licences and the price, with a written view on what to offer and what to walk away from. It starts with a free WhatsApp chat.
Do you work outside Mallorca?
Off-market sourcing is Mallorca. Checking a business you have found, and the negotiation, work anywhere in Spain or the UK by video.
Nine Bar does not give regulated financial, legal or tax advice. Your lawyer and gestor complete the purchase; Jamie works alongside them.
One chat. Every part of the business.
Money, marketing, websites, buying and selling. One person accountable for all of it.
Bring the
hard problem.
No call to book. Message Jamie on WhatsApp, in any language: the business and the decision in front of you.
