How the sale works
A private first conversation, a valuation built from your tax returns and P&L, blind marketing to qualified buyers who sign an NDA and show proof of funds, then negotiation and closing with Joshua beside you the whole way. If you own the real estate, it is priced separately so you can choose the structure that pays you the most.

Questions from owners
How much is my auto worth?
Most auto and boat dealerships are valued as a multiple of the owner's yearly earnings, adjusted for trends, customers, staff, and assets. Real estate is valued separately. See what drives value or request a confidential valuation.
How long does it take to sell an auto?
Most sales take several months from listing to closing. Clean financials, a transferable lease or owned property, and licenses in order all shorten the timeline.
Can I sell without my staff finding out?
Yes. The business is marketed blind and buyers are screened before learning its name.
