Prepare a professional marketing package.
Screen buyer prospects.
Negotiate the terms of the sale.
Manage the deal to a
successful close.
National Business Brokers is the nation’s largest and most successful automobile dealership
brokerage firm. That’s a powerful statement... and that’s the kind of power you’ll put into action
when you enlist our services. We’re familiar with every detail of facilitating, negotiating and
consummating a sale.
STRONG ACTIVITY:
THIRD PARTY INTERMEDIARY:
Of the dealerships we exclusively represent, we
have been successful in selling nine out of ten,
and are currently working with an active list of
thousands of prospective buyers from across the
country. Additionally, we receive multiple new
inquiries per week from prospective buyers looking
to buy a dealership.
We successfully bridge the gap between buyer and
seller. We prevent alienation between principals, and
bring urgency to the deal by creating a deal flow. We
hold together transactions that otherwise may slip
through the cracks.
CONFIDENTIALITY:
Owners almost always do not want their
employees, customers and competitors to know
that their dealership is for sale. We have developed
procedures to give your dealership the broadest
possible exposure while making every effort to
protect confidentiality.
COMBINED EXPERIENCE:
National Business Brokers utilizes seasoned
deal makers pooling their experience together,
to bring you the best price, in the shortest time
possible. Our experience includes sales, marketing
and transactional negotiation services. We have
worked with and can recommend some of the most
talented automotive attorneys, accountants and tax
consultants for legal advice, due diligence, general
accounting, valuation and tax strategies.

to work with in our deal. There is always a lot of

Awesome!”
–– Bobby Ford Automotive Group

NBB. They all seemed to be retirees that were just
looking to do a deal here and there because of their
connections in the car business. The process at NBB
is different. It’s a business to them not a hobby. They
put a marketing plan together, kept me informed of
the prospects and sold my store.”
