Pointe Automotive: Capital Advisors for Auto Dealerships
At Pointe Automotive, we are a national Automotive Capital Advisory Firm specializing in the sale, acquisition, and asset restructuring of franchised auto dealerships. With over 40 years of experience in automotive operations, real estate, and M&A advisory, we provide tailored strategies that help dealers unlock capital, navigate complex transitions, and maximize the value of both their business and real estate.
From acquisition and growth planning to strategic exits and succession, our advisory services are designed to guide dealership owners through every stage of the lifecycle with confidence and clarity.
Sale-Leasebacks: Unlock Capital While Maintaining Control
A sale-leaseback (SLB) enables auto dealers to sell their real estate to an investor while continuing to operate seamlessly at the same location under a long-term lease. This structure is ideal for dealers seeking liquidity without compromising control.
Common goals of SLB transactions include:
Funding acquisitions, renovations, or facility upgrades
Reducing or eliminating debt
Reinvesting capital into operations or growth
Maintaining OEM compliance while preserving brand presence
At Pointe Automotive, we structure sale-leasebacks to deliver:
Above-appraisal valuations driven by income potential
OEM-compliant lease terms that align with franchise requirements
Flexible lease structures that protect operational continuity
Institutional-grade execution with a national network of capital partners
M&A Support: Smarter Buy/Sell Transactions
Whether you're selling a single-point store or acquiring a platform of dealerships, Pointe Automotive offers full-service M&A advisory support designed to ensure strategic alignment, financial optimization, and transaction certainty.
Our M&A services include:
Accurate business and real estate valuations
Sophisticated deal structuring that includes real estate bifurcation
Integration of sale-leasebacks to enhance exit proceeds
Confidential buyer/seller engagement through our nationwide network
Coordination with legal, financial, and OEM advisors for a smooth transaction
Our goal is to maximize enterprise and real estate value while ensuring your dealership continues operating without disruption.
Strategic Disposition of Underutilized Real Estate
Many dealers hold non-essential real estate from prior relocations, service center consolidations, or closed satellite stores. Pointe Automotive helps you monetize underutilized assets by evaluating, repositioning, and selling surplus properties to strengthen your balance sheet.
Our real estate disposition services help dealers:
Divest closed or outdated stores
Sell or repurpose overflow lots and former service centers
Reduce carrying costs and unlock trapped capital
Prepare sites for redevelopment or sale to investors
With our national reach and automotive-specific market expertise, we ensure your properties are marketed to the right buyers for the highest possible return.
