There are two simple ways to work with us. 

​

One is more direct, the other takes more time but produces more fruit for both sides. 

​

Option 1: We Buy the Business 

​

• Best for Shop Owners that are just "Done".

​

Option 2: We Work With You First, Then Partner, and Grow the Value Together

​

• For Shop Owners that don't want drastic change too quickly, want to smooth out operations, and ensure the business and team can grow without collapsing.

​

Both paths are designed to be fair, clear, and based on how strong the business really is today.​​​

​

Option 1: We Buy the Business Outright

​

When we buy a business, the value depends on one main thing:

​

Can the business run and stay profitable without you?

​

If you can step away and the business still performs, it’s worth more.
If it can’t, the value is lower.

​​​​

​

How We Determine Value

(Simple Version)

​

1. Our Accounting Team looks at how much profit the business produces (EBITDA or SDE)

2. Then we apply a multiplier based on how self-sufficient the business is

3. If real estate is included, it's valued separately by a licensed appraiser

​

​

Example: $1,000,000 Revenue Business

​

Let’s say:

​

Annual revenue: $1,000,000

Annual profit (EBITDA): $200,000

​

​

Best Case Scenario: Self Sufficient Auto Shop If:

​

You go to lunch today and decide to leave for 30 days by sending a text to your manager saying:

​

"Hey, I decided to take a long lunch and go to the beach for a month... see you when I get back."

​

And:

​

• The business runs the same

• CSI, Profit, and Quality stays the same

​

Then:

​

• Multiplier: 4x 

  • $200,000 × 4 = $800,000 business value

• Real estate added separately at appraised value

  • Seller Financed​

  • or Proprietary Capital

​

This is the highest multiplier most Shop Owners can reach. This is how a bank will appraise it to finance a buyer.

​

Lower Case Scenario: Owner Dependent Auto Shop If:

​

• You can't step away

• The business slows or breaks without you

• Decisions and production rely on you

​

Then:

​

• Multiplier: 1x 

  • $200,000 × 1 = $200,000 business value

• Real estate added separately at appraised value

  • Seller Financed​

  • or Proprietary Capital

​

Same Revenue. Same Profit.

Lower value because the risk is higher.

​

Selling is not the only way forward

​

If you want to reduce pressure, smooth out operations, and grow the value of your business without drastic change, our partnership path was built for that. It allows us to work together first, build trust, and strengthen the business before any long term decision is made.
