Aurora Business Brokers Firm can introduce you to a valuation partner. Prepare a collision shop sale around provable margins, insurer relationships, equipment and a workable premises handoff.
Show how work reaches the shop
Distinguish repeat referral sources, insurer related work and direct customer jobs. A buyer will ask what permissions or relationships must continue for the same volume to arrive.
Do not describe every relationship as a transferable contract. Review written terms before using a recurring work claim to support your asking price.
Reconcile work in progress and equipment
Bring the job schedule, parts records and current financial statements into agreement. Unfinished work needs an agreed treatment at the closing date.
List owned and financed equipment with current condition and payoff details. Separate a realistic maintenance budget from earnings addbacks.
Put the building into the deal discussion
A location dependent shop needs a credible lease or property plan. Begin landlord discussions through the agreed confidential process rather than waiting until financing is ready.
A lease assignment may leave a personal guarantee behind. Have your attorney negotiate the release and any remaining obligations before you assume the sale ends your exposure.
