Dave Roberts spent two years helping us organize for growth then led a sale process that exceeded all our expectations. He was tough on me and tough on the buyers. In the end, we all won. I can’t say enough good things about Dave and his team.”

We are the only Investment Banking firm that specializes in selling collision repair MSOs
We serve sellers and growth entrepreneurs. We know the buyers and the investors. And we have both the business and transactional experience needed to make your sale or expansion successful and smooth. Don’t go it alone, get the very most out of your company with Focus Advisors.
Have a confidential conversation with us about your future, your value, and the benefits of having an experienced advisor on your side. Selling your business is a huge decision – and a huge job – 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.
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.
Hear What Our Clients Have to Say
"I’ve been pretty good at building many businesses over the past 20 years. But when it came time to sell the business, I found out it was really complicated – from loan payoffs to WIP to vendor terminations to lease terms. I would never have tried to do it without Dave Roberts and Chris Lane at Focus Advisors. Man, they were so much help. They’ve done it for so long and so well with other guys I knew in the industry, I had confidence they would do it for me as well. And when I see what the buyer can do with the vendors and the insurance companies, I’m blown away. So glad I was the first out in my market, rather than the last."
"I needed expertise and a trusted partner to get the value I deserved from the business I spent 36 years building. David and Chris at Focus Advisors exceeded my expectations in every way. I can’t recommend having an intermediary like Focus Advisors on your side highly enough."
"We were very pleased with the representation provided by Focus Advisors. The offers that we received exceeded our expectations. We closed this transaction in the middle of the pandemic, seemingly an impossible task. You can imagine how tricky this was and I believe we wouldn’t have been able to complete the transaction without the skill and expertise provided by Focus."
"Dave Roberts really understood the dynamics of our family business and our goals in seeking a sale. His deal expertise, analysis and advice were vital to our decisions and a successful outcome and transition. We highly recommend him."
"David Roberts’ experience, professionalism and integrity were invaluable to our Management team as we prepared Price’s for acquisition. David guided us through the process, helped us resolve issues, and provided great advice…."
What Sets Us Apart
We specialize in collision repair clients
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 have a finger on the pulse of your market
We draw on decades of transaction experience and a robust proprietary database to anticipate market trends and buying interest. That allows us to assess whether and when the timing and market conditions are right for a sale.
We unlock the potential for competitive bids
Our targeted approach and extensive network of potential buyers enable us to attract multiple qualified offers — not only driving valuation higher and maximizing value, but also empowering you to choose the best fit for you and your people.
We are a FINRA-registered investment bank
We uphold the highest legal standard of care. As a FINRA-registered firm, we adhere to professional and ethical regulations and act solely in our clients’ best interests — so you can count on transparency, expertise, and integrity.

We lead collision repair owners through a proven, data-driven M&A process designed to maximize value and favorable outcomes.

We dig into your financials, operations, and goals to understand your business and the outcome you want from a sale, recap, or capital raise.
2
Prepare & Position
We build valuations, buyer lists, and tailored marketing materials to position your business for the strongest possible market response.

Go to Market
We manage outreach, qualify buyers, coordinate site visits, and run a competitive process to drive terms, structure, and certainty.

Let’s Talk About Your Business’s Future Today
You and your team built a great business but selling or expanding it requires knowledge of the game and the unwritten rules and deep experience in the industry. We can’t advise you about 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 your business. That why our clients hire us – to be the professional M&A advisor for them in the most important decision of their lives.
