Commercial, Equipment and Transportation

Commercial M&A, Real Estate, and Capital Advisory

The Commercial Division of Pointe Automotive Advisors advises owners and operator groups across the commercial transportation, equipment, and logistics sectors. Our work centers on capital, mergers and acquisitions, and real estate strategy for businesses where asset intensity, fleet investment, and real estate positioning directly influence enterprise value and long-term control.

We are not transactional brokers. We act as strategic advisors to ownership teams who understand that disciplined capital planning and real estate decisions—often made well before a transaction—define outcomes in this sector.

Who We Serve

Our Commercial Division advises privately held owners, family enterprises, and select institutional platforms operating within the commercial and transportation economy, including:

🔴 Commercial truck and heavy-duty dealership groups
🔴 Transportation and logistics service providers
🔴 Fleet-based operators and regional carriers
🔴 Construction, agricultural, and industrial equipment dealerships
🔴 Equipment rental and service platforms
🔴 Owners of commercial real estate tied to operating transportation or equipment businesses

We also work alongside OEMs, franchisors, lenders, legal counsel, and CPAs when ownership, capital, or real estate decisions require coordinated planning.

Advisory-First M&A Support

M&A in the commercial and transportation sectors demands industry fluency, capital discipline, and an understanding of operational risk. Our M&A advisory work is selective, confidential, and relationship-driven.

We support owners who want thoughtful guidance before, during, or alongside a transaction—whether evaluating a sale, pursuing acquisitions, consolidating operations, or restructuring ownership. Engagements often begin with valuation analysis, buyer universe assessment, or capital structure review well in advance of any formal transaction.

When a transaction proceeds, we remain actively involved as strategic advisors—helping ownership evaluate deal structure, assess risk, and protect long-term enterprise value.

Real Estate Strategy for Commercial Assets

Real estate often represents a significant and under-optimized component of value for commercial dealerships and transportation operators. Our Commercial Division integrates real estate strategy directly into our advisory work rather than isolating it as a standalone transaction.

We advise on:

🔴 Facility valuation and rent alignment analysis
🔴 Sale-leaseback structuring and execution
🔴 Owned versus leased facility decisions
🔴 Yard, terminal, and service facility positioning
🔴 Expansion, relocation, and modernization strategy
🔴 Institutional investor positioning for commercial real estate assets

Capital Advisory and Ownership Planning

Commercial and transportation ownership is capital-intensive and margin-sensitive. Equipment cycles, fleet investment, real estate decisions, and leverage levels all play a role in enterprise value and exit outcomes.

We help owners:

🔴 Understand how capital structure impacts valuation and risk
🔴 Evaluate liquidity and recapitalization options without pressure to transact
🔴 Prepare for ownership transitions 12–36 months in advance
🔴 Align capital planning with growth, acquisition, or exit strategies

A Disciplined, Relationship-Driven Approach

We work with a limited number of commercial clients at any given time. Every engagement is confidential, customized, and designed around long-term relationships rather than transaction volume.

The Commercial Division exists for owners who value clarity over urgency, strategy over transactions, and advisory guidance that respects both operational complexity and balance sheet realities.
