The “right” time is different for everyone. Maximizing economic upturns, health questions, changes of lifestyle, family priorities, etc. — all can play a factor. Let us listen to your story and help map a strategy that fits your goals.

Our insights go beyond the formula and assign value characters to your unique equation. Ask for our dealership evaluation. A simple form fill and follow-up phone call serves as the starting point for our proprietary analysis.

We don’t charge for the initial valuation, and we don’t have a retention fee. Our team won’t charge for travel, time, etc. The fees are negotiable and depend on the size of the transaction, and they are never paid by both sides.

You only pay when the deal completes at closing.

Ozog Consulting Group pledges confidentiality. Our marketing efforts are discreet and professional. Initially, only the seller will know that the dealership is exploring ownership transfer. All of the dealership’s financial data is stored in a secure data room. The data room is strictly controlled as is the ability for prospective buyers to view or download.

Prospective buyers are first qualified by Ozog Consulting Group and then sign confidentiality agreements. Once a definitive sale/purchase agreement is executed (approximately 75 days before closing), the significant deal points have already been put to bed. At this stage, the manufacturer and key employees usually become involved.

When a buyer purchases a business, your dealership’s staff resources are a critical element to the transaction’s value. While some employee transition is normal, high-performing positions are traditionally prized by new owners.

More often than not, a community component is present within a dealership’s business plan. Verifying that the incoming values mirror those of the established practice is important and should be prioritized for the negotiation. Depending upon the importance of community relations, Ozog Consulting Group will search to match seller and buyer objectives.

While each transaction is unique, generally speaking, the entire term of the transaction normally takes three to five months, from representation agreement to closing.
