Your Role as an Owner and Seller

As you consider selling the dealership, think about these key elements that will help position a sale quickly and smoothly.

• Do you know the value of your dealership (business) in today’s market? Can you and your deal team communicate that value?

• Do you own the property, and are you looking to sell that with the business?

• Do you have at least three years of clean, updated, accurate financials?

• Do you have a concise list of included assets?

• Are you maintaining a strong order position with all your manufacturers?

• Does your dealership have a positive reputation and story in the community and industry?

Think Like a Buyer

Key elements to know about buying a dealership:

• What does the dealership look like when you step on the lot? Is it a clean/organized facility?

• What is the business’s financial situation?

• What is the company known for, and how does it operate?

• Who are the key employees? How likely are they to stay with the new owner?
