Investment Solutions for Dealership Acquisitions

Pointe Automotive is a full-service dealership, real estate investment, and consulting firm providing specialized support to dealers engaged in mergers and acquisitions. As experienced acquisition advisors, we help automotive groups strategically expand their dealership portfolios by separating the business and real estate components of the transactions. Through our proven model, Pointe Automotive purchases the real estate and leases it back to the buyer—helping dealers expand without tying up capital in property ownership.

Our approach is built to minimize costs, reduce risk, and increase the flexibility of the acquisition process—making it easier for dealers to pursue new opportunities, enter new markets, and scale operations efficiently.

Real Estate Support for M&A Transactions

Buying a dealership often includes the added complexity of acquiring the associated real estate. For many dealers, this requirement limits the number of acquisitions they can pursue or how quickly they can grow. Pointe Automotive simplifies this process by offering dedicated M&A real estate support, allowing buyers to focus on dealership operations while we handle the property transaction in a separate, parallel structure.

We work seamlessly alongside attorneys, lenders, M&A advisors, and OEM stakeholders to coordinate the real estate closing. This integrated approach ensures that both components of the transaction—business and property—are aligned, professionally managed, and timed for a smooth execution.

Sale-Leaseback Model to Preserve Capital

Our real estate investment model is based on a sale-leaseback structure. When a buyer acquires a dealership, Pointe Automotive purchases the real estate directly from the seller and then leases it to the new owner under a long-term lease. This allows the dealership buyer to:

• Avoid large down payments on real estate

• Preserve cash for working capital, inventory, and marketing

• Control the facility through a secure lease

• Improve return on invested capital

This structure is ideal for dealers who want to expand their group without increasing debt burdens or limiting their ability to pursue future acquisitions.

Custom Lease Agreements for Long-Term Stability

As real estate investment partners, we ensure that lease terms are designed to support operational needs, franchise requirements, and long-term success. Our leases are customized to each acquisition, offering:

• Initial lease terms of 10–20 years with renewal options

• Predictable rent schedules tied to market rates

• Flexibility for improvements, signage, and future expansion

• Rights of first offer or first refusal in select cases

By structuring these agreements to align with dealer goals, we deliver long-term property solutions that provide stability without ownership obligations.

Empowering Dealer Growth Through Real Estate Strategy

Our mission is to support the strategic growth of dealership groups by removing real estate as a barrier to expansion. By stepping in as the real estate buyer, Pointe Automotive empowers dealers to pursue more acquisitions, improve balance sheet performance, and remain focused on dealership operations.

Whether you're acquiring a single store or building out a multi-store platform, we offer the flexibility, capital, and experience to support your growth strategy—one transaction at a time.
