NAMAD Conference

A dealership often represents the majority of a family’s net worth and should be handled with care by an experienced broker. We actively manage the buy-sell process from beginning to end. We help you establish an asking price consistent with the market conditions and latest trends, develop a custom-tailored marketing strategy to identify the buyers most qualified to meet your specific goals, negotiate from a position of strength to maximize the value of your business, guard your confidentiality, guide you through the complexities of the transaction, and assist with the due diligence stage and through the closing, while ensuring that your best interests are protected. We are a full-service brokerage firm, by your side every step of the way.

The sale of your business is the last opportunity for the assets to generate income for you. We work hard to maximize the value on your behalf.

Earnings Adjustments: We adjust the earnings to reflect discretionary and one-time expenses, which enhances the representation. We factor the upside potential, a host of intangible variables, and the market trends that further influence the value.

Asset Adjustments: Accounting for accelerated depreciation, assets that are not booked, and varying valuation methods, the value of your assets may be significantly higher than book value.

Expert Negotiations: We negotiate on your behalf from a position of strength as industry experts with local market familiarity, utilizing an unmatched amount of data from national transactions across our 10 offices.

The Deal Flow: Creating a competitive environment among multiple buyers ensures you receive fair market value. Buyer’s decision to buy is validated knowing others are also interested. A sense of urgency and fear of loss are introduced, expediting the process and ensuring timely performance and continued fair negotiations.

The sales cycle from engagement to closing ranges on average from 6-8 months. How do you expedite the process? Early preparation of your dealership for a sale. Establish an asking price consistent with market conditions. Maintain clean books and records. Involve specialized attorneys and accountants. Utilize an experienced dealership broker to identify a unique and motivated purchaser, and to help you avoid pitfalls and delays.
