Buyer FAQs

How do I get access to off-market dealership acquisition opportunities?

Apply to the Buyer Network through the registration form on this page. The application takes approximately five minutes. We review every application individually within one business day and qualify buyers on capital availability, OEM franchise experience, geographic focus, and acquisition timeline. Once approved, you receive matched off-market opportunities under NDA — never broadcast to the general buyer pool.

What kinds of dealerships does Coussa Group represent?

Single-point franchises, multi-store groups, and platform acquisitions across all major North American OEM brands. Transaction sizes range from single-rooftop sub-twenty-million-dollar deals to multi-rooftop platforms above one hundred million. We represent both Canadian and US sellers, with a concentration in cross-border transactions involving Quebec, Ontario, and the Northeast and Midwest US markets.

Do I need to sign an NDA before seeing deal details?

Yes. A deal-specific NDA is required before we share the Confidential Information Memorandum, financial detail, OEM brand, address, or any identifying information about a dealership opportunity. The NDA process is fully digital through Zoho Sign and typically completes within minutes.

Do you work with private-equity buyers and family offices?

Yes. A meaningful share of the active Buyer Network consists of PE-backed dealer groups, family offices investing in automotive retail, and institutional sponsors building platforms. We work with the principal-led operator buyer and the financial sponsor with an operator partner.

Can I specify my acquisition criteria so you only see relevant opportunities?

Yes. The application captures your target OEM brands, geographic focus, capital band, real-estate preference, and timeline. Matched opportunities are filtered against these criteria before being sent. We do not waste your time with off-thesis deals.

How does a cross-border US-Canada dealership acquisition work?

Cross-border transactions require attention to Investment Canada Act review thresholds, OEM approval in both countries, currency hedging on the close date, and tax structuring around the Canada-US tax treaty. Coussa Group has direct cross-border transaction experience and coordinates the legal, accounting, and OEM workstreams in both jurisdictions.
