Sell-Side Advisory Services for Ohio Dealerships

Selling a dealership is a milestone moment, and Pointe Automotive is here to ensure it’s done right. As trusted Sell-Side Advisors, we work with Ohio dealers to prepare their stores for market, identify qualified buyers, and negotiate transactions that meet their financial and legacy goals.

We begin with a confidential valuation of your dealership, assessing factors such as profitability, franchise performance, location, and real estate. From there, we create a targeted marketing strategy and discreetly present your opportunity to our exclusive network of active buyers. Our team handles all process stages, from buyer screening and negotiations to due diligence and closing coordination.

Whether you’re selling a well-established domestic dealership in Columbus, a high-performing import store in Akron, or a family-owned operation in Youngstown, Pointe Automotive is committed to maximizing value and ensuring a smooth transition.

Acquisition Services for Buyers in the Ohio Market

Ohio continues to be an attractive state for dealership acquisitions, offering strong consumer demand, diverse metro areas, and long-standing brand presence across the region. Pointe Automotive works closely with dealer groups, private investors, and operators looking to expand or enter the Ohio market.

As Acquisition Specialists, we help clients define their acquisition criteria, identify both on-market and off-market opportunities, and evaluate target stores based on financials, market trends, and strategic fit. We also assist with deal structure, OEM approvals, and lender coordination to ensure an efficient path to closing.

From luxury franchises in Cleveland and Cincinnati to suburban import operations in Dayton or Canton, we provide the insight and representation needed to secure the right dealership at the right terms.

Pointe Automotive provides full-service M&A support for both buyers and sellers, managing every aspect of the transaction from initial planning to final signatures. As Auto Dealership Brokers and experienced M&A Advisors, we serve as facilitators—ensuring communication flows smoothly, timelines are met, and risks are minimized.

We work alongside attorneys, accountants, OEM representatives, lenders, and real estate professionals to make sure every detail of the transaction is addressed. Whether your deal involves a single-point store in Springfield or a multi-location portfolio in the Cincinnati region, we bring clarity, structure, and deal execution expertise to the table.
