Dealership Valuations

Blue Sky Values Move. Does Your Number?

Goodwill multiples change with interest rates, brand demand, and regional market conditions. A valuation from three years ago, or a number based on what a neighboring store sold for, can be dramatically wrong in either direction. Whether you're planning an exit, weighing an unsolicited offer, or doing estate planning, an accurate, current opinion of value is the foundation of every good decision.

What Our Valuation Covers

• Blue sky / goodwill: earnings-based multiples adjusted for brand demand and market trends
• Real estate: owned property, lease terms, and facility image compliance
• Fixed assets & parts: equipment, inventory, and reconditioning value
• Earnings normalization: adjusting for owner compensation, one-time items, and add-backs buyers will accept

When to Get a Valuation

Before you list, before you respond to an unsolicited offer, before a partner buyout, and before any estate or succession planning. Sellers who know their number negotiate from strength; buyers who know the number avoid overpaying.

Valuations are confidential and carry no obligation to sell. Many clients simply want to know where they stand, and we're glad to tell them.
