Automotive and Boat Business Brokers

Many business owners don’t want the word to leak out that they’re considering selling their company for many valid reasons. The news could upset workers and prompt them to seek other employment opportunities. Parts suppliers and other key supply chain entities could tighten their credit terms, making it more difficult to conduct business. Also, current and prospective customers may decide to take their business elsewhere. 

At Inbar Group, protecting your business’s stability during the sales process is our top priority. Our tightly controlled confidential marketing process relies on a proven methodology to generate interest in your organization without publicizing your identity:

• Anonymous listing: We will create a confidential profile of your business, which includes a customized marketing document that highlights its financial strengths, growth opportunities and competitive advantages without disclosing its name or exact location. Prospective buyers can use our convenient online search tool to view the listings at any time. 
• Comprehensive buyer network: Our listing process includes carefully vetting all buyers to ensure they have the financial means and other necessities to purchase your business. You won’t waste valuable time dealing with unqualified buyers or semi-interested parties.
• Nondisclosure agreements (NDA): Another way we safeguard your privacy is by mandating that all potential buyers sign a legally binding NDA before they can access sensitive information about your company, such as tax returns or manufacturer agreements. 

This detailed methodology ensures that your business continues to operate smoothly and protects confidential information throughout the sales cycle. 

Closing the Deal

We also help sellers experience a successful transaction by guiding them through the various closing steps.

Negotiation

Once the buyer submits a Letter of Intent (LOI), our team can help you evaluate it to ensure you’re getting the most favorable terms. We’ll analyze the deal structure and handle negotiations in sensitive areas, such as working capital targets and inventory assessments. Many of our clients receive multiple offers — we’ll make thorough side-by-side comparisons, allowing you to make an informed choice. 

Due Diligence

We’ll manage the due diligence process that occurs between the buyer signing the LOI and closing, where the buyer will scrutinize every area of your operation. We’ll ensure that everything is transparent and be available to answer questions and resolve issues.

Coordination

Inbar Group can also coordinate all the logistical aspects concerning the sale of an auto body repair shop, automotive dealer or boat business. Examples include preparing all the closing documents, such as the purchase and the bill of sale. We’ll also work with you to develop a clear plan for announcing the sale to employees, customers and vendors to manage expectations.
