Who we work with
Most people arrive here at one of four moments. Whichever one you are in, the first step is the same — a confidential conversation, and a number you can trust.
01 — Dealer principals & owners
Succession, retirement, or simply the right moment in the market. We establish a defensible value first, then approach pre-qualified buyers discreetly — nothing is listed publicly without your say-so.
Sell-side process →02 — Groups, buyers & operators
Public listings are the tail end of the market. We carry the sell-side mandates, so qualified buyers see opportunities while they are still actionable — and we build the OEM package that gets the transfer approved.
Buy-side process →03 — Owners not yet selling
A valuation is not a commitment to sell. Thousands of owners use ours to plan succession, settle a partnership, support financing, or understand what the last five years actually built.
Request a valuation →04 — Real estate & capital partners
Dealership real estate trades on its own terms — covenant, zoning, frontage and re-use potential. We advise on property-only opportunities alongside the operating businesses that sit on them.
Property opportunities →How a deal gets done
One advisor stays with you the whole way. You will always know what stage you are in, what we need from you, and what happens next.
Typically 4–8 months, NDA to keys
1–2 days
An NDA and a short buyer profile. Nothing about the business, its people or its numbers moves until that is in place.
Within a week
Financial performance, brand mix, facility and real estate, fixed operations — and the story behind the numbers.
1–2 weeks
Proof of funds and lender confirmation, handled early — the difference between an offer a seller considers and one a seller believes.
2–4 weeks
We prepare the letter of intent, carry the negotiation and hold both sides to the timetable.
30–90 days
The OEM application package, built to that manufacturer’s standard — what separates an application that moves from one that stalls.
30–60 days
Legal, financing, employment, inventory and real estate in parallel — and we stay with you through the transition after closing day.
