Having previously sold an MSO without representation, I quickly came to appreciate the value an advisor brings — maximizing the financial outcome, managing the process, and bringing experience and data to critical issues, including real estate. Focus Advisors knew the buyers, and ensured the final result reflected the full value of what we built.

Investment Banking · Collision Repair
The only Investment Bank that specializes in selling collision repair MSOs
We serve sellers and growth entrepreneurs. We know the buyers and investors, and have the experience to make your sale or expansion successful. Don't go it alone — get the most out of your company with Focus Advisors.
Have a confidential conversation about your value and the benefits of having an experienced advisor on your side. Selling your business is a huge decision — so is finding new capital to expand. We've helped some of the best operators in the business. Let's find out how we can help you.
Our Difference
Why work with Focus Advisors?
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.
ONE CONVERSATION CHANGES EVERYTHING
You and your team built a great business — but selling or expanding it requires knowledge of the game, the unwritten rules, and deep experience in the industry. We can't advise you on whether to buy a Garmat booth or choose a GFS model. That's not our expertise. But we are the professionals in our business, just like you are the professional in yours. That's why our clients hire us: to be their trusted M&A advisor in the most important decision of their lives.
No obligation. No pressure. Just a conversation.
