You’ve built a championship business; it’s time to exit with championship results. But when the time comes to sell, many owners struggle to balance running their business with selling the business. The negotiation process is time-consuming and complex, and without trusted relationships with buyers and investors, it’s easy to miss out on a competitive bidding process.
You need a partner who can shape the transaction on your behalf — who not only has deep relationships with all potential acquirers, but also specializes in the unique intricacies and evolving dynamics of collision repair. That’s where Focus Advisors comes in.
We’ll help you finish strong.
The dynamics of selling each MSO are unique. We understand those dynamics, from paint contracts to franchise agreements to DRP relationships. Our deep industry roots mean more precise, tailored recommendations for your business.
We draw on decades of transaction experience and a robust proprietary database to anticipate market trends and buying interest, which means we can assess whether and when the timing and market conditions are opportune for a sale.
Our targeted approach and extensive network of potential buyers enable us to attract multiple qualified offers – not only driving the valuation higher and maximizing value, but also empowering you to choose the perfect fit for you and your people.
