You just bought a business in Columbus, OH. Now what?
Buying a restaurant, bar, retail store, or service business in Columbus, OH is the easy part. Getting it operational on day one — POS, processing, internet, phones, IT — is where deals die. Norvet is the single partner that handles all of it. One call. One week. One invoice.
- Serviceability checks on the address before you close
- Hardware on-site 48 hours before opening day
- Number porting from the seller — no customers lost
- $5,000 merchant bonus after 3 months of processing
Most business buyers scramble for vendors in the 30 days before closing and end up paying 3x for rushed installs. We plan Day 1 with you the moment your LOI is signed.

Everything your Day-1 operation needs
Most business buyers spend their first month sourcing vendors one at a time. We do all six in parallel so you open on schedule.
POS System
SkyTab for restaurants/bars. Clover for retail. Installed, programmed, staff-trained before opening day. $0/mo for 12 months.
Payment Processing
Transparent interchange-plus pricing. Next-day funding. $5,000 merchant bonus after 3 months of processing.
Business Internet
220+ carrier options (AT&T, Comcast, Lumen, Spectrum, fiber). We check serviceability at your address and book install before closing.
Business Phone
VoIP hosted voice, number porting from the seller, auto-attendant, ring groups. Live before you take your first order.
IT + Cybersecurity
24/7 monitoring, patching, endpoint security. SentinelOne on every machine. Helpdesk on call.
Network + Wi-Fi
Business-grade router, guest Wi-Fi, and a separate isolated network for your POS so a guest device cannot reach payment data (PCI requirement). We wire your back-of-house before open.
Our 14-day closing-to-opening plan
Start this the moment your LOI is signed — not the week before you open.

Why buyers choose Norvet over six separate vendors
Six vendors reduced to one
POS, processor, ISP, phone, IT, network — one invoice, one support number, one accountability.
No contract lock-in
SkyTab has no multi-year contract. Most ISP contracts are 1-year max. Scale up, scale out, or walk away clean.
$5,000 SkyTab bonus
Wired to your business bank account after 3 months of processing. Real cash — not a rebate or discount.
Financing partners
We work with SBA lenders and Finova Capital. If your acquisition financing gap needs a bridge, we have partners.
Business broker? SBA lender? Attorney?
Send your clients to Norvet and we'll close the Day-1 operations gap for them — so your deal closes, their business opens on time, and you get referred to their next buyer. We pay referral fees on processing, internet, and IT subscriptions.
SkyTab merchant bonus available
New owners qualify for the SkyTab merchant bonus when their acquisition closes. Bonus tier and timing depend on the current SkyTab promo — we'll walk through the live terms on your Day-1 call.
