Seller FAQs

How long does the typical dealership sale take from first call to close?

Most institutional dealership sales take four to nine months from initial valuation to close, depending on OEM approval timelines, buyer due diligence depth, and real-estate structuring. Coussa Group runs a structured 90-day pre-marketing phase, a 30- to 60-day marketing-and-LOI phase, and a 60- to 120-day diligence-and-close phase. Confidentiality is preserved end-to-end. We do not list your dealership publicly.

What is my dealership worth?

A confidential dealership valuation considers normalized EBITDA, blue-sky multiples specific to your OEM brand and rooftop count, real-estate value (whether owned or leased), F&I performance, and current market activity in your region. We provide a written valuation indication within one business day of the initial call, under NDA, with no obligation to engage further.

Will my employees, OEM, or competitors find out I am exploring a sale?

No. Every prospective buyer signs a deal-specific NDA before receiving any identifying information about your dealership. Your name, address, and OEM brand are masked in initial buyer communications. We do not contact your manufacturer until a Letter of Intent is in hand and you have authorized the next step.

What does Coussa Group's fee structure look like?

We work on success-fee mandates, typically as a percentage of total transaction value with a minimum engagement fee. Fees are agreed in writing in the engagement letter before any marketing activity begins. There are no hidden costs and no monthly retainers. We share our standard fee schedule at the engagement-letter stage.

What if my OEM has right of first refusal on the franchise?

Most franchise agreements give the OEM a right of first refusal or approval right over a successor dealer. Coussa Group structures the transaction process to satisfy these requirements without delaying close. We have direct experience with the major North American OEMs (Toyota, BMW, Stellantis, GM, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, and the luxury brands) and route the OEM-approval process in parallel with buyer diligence.

What happens to my dealership real estate?

Real-estate handling depends on your goals. Options include selling the real estate to the buyer alongside the operating business, retaining ownership and entering a long-term lease, or executing a sale-leaseback to a specialized real-estate investor. Each option has distinct tax and cash-flow implications. We model all three for you during the valuation phase.
