Omkar Bhojani's story
Omkar is a born entrepreneur who has always dreamed of being the sole owner of a business. For the past few years, he and a partner have been running a convenience store and an Alcool NB Liquor store. Feeling that he was ready to take the plunge on his own, he contacted the team at SME Succession Hub, a key resource for those looking to buy or sell a business. He was interested in a few businesses listed on SME Succession Hub, but Ed's Sub and Pizza Shack in Miramichi (Chatham) was exactly what he was looking for. The family-owned business has been around for over 30 years. After meeting with the owner and reviewing the financials, it was clear that the restaurant was a good investment. Omkar then began the process of buying the business from the owner.
But let's back it up a bit. Omkar did his homework in the time between the start of the acquisition process and the purchase of the business, the beginning of a special journey for him. Since this is a restaurant, he did not just consider the financials. He also visited the restaurant several times to assess each dish that comes out of the kitchen, the customer base, the quality of the team's work, and the potential for integrating technology into the operation. Omkar understands that the atmosphere of a restaurant is just as important as the food served. He wanted to be sure he would feel comfortable in the environment. After all, he will have to promote it once he buys it.
The importance of transition. When Eric Carroll registered his business with SME Succession Hub (Carrefour Relève PME), he was pleasantly surprised to meet Omkar, a person who shared his own values. It was important for Eric to hand over the business to someone who was committed to respecting the team, offering an excellent product and giving back to the community. The transition is going smoothly and Eric is confident that he made the right decision in choosing Omkar as the new owner. As anyone who has ever gone through a business ownership transition knows, it can be a difficult and stressful process. There are so many things to think about and numerous changes to make. That's why it's so important to have someone who knows the ins and outs of the business and can help with making the transition a smooth one. And that's exactly what Eric is doing for Omkar. He is giving him all the time he needs to make the transition and is even walking him through the process. This is very important in ensuring a successful business ownership transition for Omkar.
The adventure continues! Omkar's adventure is well underway and won't come to an end anytime soon. But in the medium term, if all goes according to plan, he plans to buy Eric's second restaurant, Ed's Sub and Pizza Shack, located in Miramichi, Newcastle. This will give him a strong foothold in the area. He knows it will take many hours of work to run his current and future businesses! But he is confident he has made the right choice. He feels that buying an existing business, even if it means investing a lot of money, is the best decision. The business has a reputation and gives him a solid basis to plan for the future. And the atmosphere at the business is positive, which gives Omkar confidence in knowing he can make a success of it. With hard work and dedication, he knows that his dream of becoming the sole owner of a business has finally come true.
