A good business should ALWAYS BE FOR SALE especially for the right price! It is often best to sell when your business is ‘on the up’, or prior to your busy season. When selling for a good reason, you are often in a better negotiating position to get the best price possible for your sale. But don’t be hard on yourself. If you are not ready, perhaps timing is more the issue. No matter what the reason, the decision to sell has already been made, especially in your own mind!
Why are you selling your automotive business
There are many reasons why someone wants or needs to sell their Auto Business. Perhaps its just the right time, or perhaps you have lost your best staff member, or perhaps your personal circumstances have changed. Alternatively, you’ve had the best year of business ever! No matter what the reason, you probably already know why! Don’t make the mistake of putting it off so far ahead that it doesn’t get done. The most common mistake of business owners not achieving the right price for their business is because they left it too long before putting the business onto the market. It is not healthy to keep the business longer than you wanted because more often than not you will get tired and lose interest in the business and possibly have less profits and more stress!
Know the benefits of your automotive business
When preparing to sell your Automotive business, it is important to know the benefits of your business. Years of trading – (this can include your time and any previous owners demonstrating longevity of your business). The specialties of your business; like 4-wheel drive mechanical repairs or other specialist cars, insurance work, fleet work, your service, your point of difference! Talk about your staff, the achievements of the business and the typical type of customers. The benefits of the location like: ‘great exposure’, plenty of on-site parking, ‘surrounded by other related businesses’, or very reasonable rent! Talk about your competition. There is nothing wrong if there are several other automotive businesses in your area, this often attracts more customers to come to your location. If you don’t the prospective buyer will! Further potential is also worthwhile including, as it demonstrates to the buyer that there are other things they can try. This could be as simple as setting up or updating your website, add a shopping cart so that you can sell more parts and accessories on-line. It’s OK if you don’t have a website, just point this out to the new prospective buyer as further potential. Most business owners know the further potential but have never got round to executing it. But now is the time to express this to a potential buyer. Further potential is also worthwhile including, as it demonstrates to the buyer that there are other things they can try.

Many automotive businesses are suburban based, even in a light industrial estate and many locations are forever-expanding. The more population in your local area, the more potential customers you have. This is a positive thing to demonstrate.
