What's Your Dealership Worth?
Dealership Appraisals, Business Valuations, Calculations of Value: We have deep expertise valuing dealerships. Our extensive involvement in dealerships - from ownership to transition consulting, operations consulting and moderating peer groups - brings mastery to your valuation engagement that is difficult to find in CPA or appraisal firms.
If you have a critical need for a valuation - a court case, a divorce, a dispute with the IRS - we have the experience, education and ability to provide litigation support in dealership matters. We do not advocate for any position, we advocate for our expert opinion regarding dealership values and/or operations.
If you are contemplating a transition, we can help dealers prepare for a sale or evaluate an acquisition with the perspective of having managed, analyzed and advised diverse dealerships over the years.
