On this page you'll find the listings of businesses and companies for sale in Rome: bars, restaurants and pizzerias, tobacco shops, neighborhood stores, beauty salons, e-commerce businesses and small service companies. Every listing shows the asking price, area, revenue and a description of the business, so you can form a view before contacting the seller. Rome is the largest market in central and southern Italy: supply is wide and varied, from a kiosk in the suburbs to an established restaurant in the historic center, and prices change a lot from district to district.
Before making an offer, three things matter more than anything else: documented sales (the electronic sales records of the last 2-3 years, not the seller's estimates), the lease (rent, remaining term of the 6+6, option to take it over) and the permits, from outdoor seating to the public land concession, which counts for a lot in tourist areas. For small Roman businesses the valuation almost always revolves around a multiple of profit: indicatively 2-4 times EBITDA, with a premium for high-traffic locations and a discount where the rent weighs too heavily on margins.
Use the filters for category, area and price range and contact sellers directly from the listings you're interested in: on Attivita24 the negotiation is direct, with no commission on the sale.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the sector and the area. Indicatively, a bar ranges from €40,000-€80,000 in the suburbs to €150,000-€400,000 in central or tourist areas; an established restaurant often sits between €100,000 and €500,000, with higher peaks in the historic center; a tobacco shop is valued on its margins and rarely goes below €150,000-€200,000. With the same sales, the location and the lease terms can move the price by 30-50%.
Taking over costs more up front but gives you customers, historic sales and licenses already in place: a huge advantage in a city where the best sites are saturated and obtaining permits (outdoor seating, signage, flues) can take months. Opening from scratch only makes sense if you have a strong site and a very distinctive format. You'll find a full comparison in the guide franchise or established business.
The most common method for small businesses is the EBITDA multiple: indicatively 2-4 times normalized operating profit, plus inventory and equipment. Goodwill, location, the remaining lease term and how much the business depends on the owner all count too. To follow the method step by step, read the guide how much is my company worth.
Check sales and tax returns for the last 2-3 years, the lease (rent and expiry), the debts recorded in the accounting books (in a business transfer the buyer is jointly liable for them under art. 2560 c.c.) and the position of the employees, whose contracts continue with you under art. 2112 c.c. Work with an accountant before the deed: the due diligence guide lists every document to ask for.
A business transfer requires the notarial deed provided for by art. 2556 c.c. and is subject to 3% registration tax (imposta di registro) on the value of the business, goodwill included (different rates apply where property is part of the deal). Also budget for the notary's fee (often €1,500-€4,000), your accountant's advice and the transfer of licenses and utilities. A sole proprietor selling a business owned for more than 5 years can opt for separate taxation (tassazione separata, art. 17 TUIR): the details are in the guide on taxes on selling a business.
