Capital Solutions for South Carolina Automotive Dealers

Pointe Automotive is a premier capital investment advisory firm serving automotive dealers throughout South Carolina. We specialize in helping dealer-owners unlock the full value of their real estate, defer capital gains taxes, and navigate ownership transitions with clarity and confidence. Our tailored strategies focus on three core services: 1031 Exchanges, Sale-Leasebacks, and M&A Support for privately held dealerships and their professional advisors.

South Carolina’s economic history is rooted in trade, transportation, and manufacturing—foundations that continue to shape its modern automotive sector. From its colonial ports to its current role as a manufacturing hub for global automakers, South Carolina has emerged as a significant player in the automotive landscape. Cities like Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, and Spartanburg have experienced steady dealership growth, driven by strong consumer demand, a favorable tax environment, and ongoing population expansion. Pointe Automotive works with dealers across the Palmetto State to capitalize on these trends with real estate strategies tailored to the business of automotive.

1031 Exchange Replacement Property Advisors

Pointe Automotive guides South Carolina dealers through the 1031 Exchange process, allowing them to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting sale proceeds into qualified replacement properties. We act as investment advisors throughout the exchange, helping you identify assets that align with both your operational and financial goals.

Whether you’re selling a single dealership, a group of service centers, or an income-producing investment property, our team works closely with your CPA and attorney to structure a tax-efficient transaction. We help you find replacement real estate that supports your business vision—often within the automotive space—so you can preserve capital and continue building wealth through strategic reinvestment.

Unlocking Real Estate Value Through Sale-Leasebacks

A sale-leaseback is a powerful way to convert real estate equity into usable capital while maintaining control of your dealership operation. By selling the property and leasing it back under favorable terms, you gain access to liquidity without relocating or interrupting your business.

Dealers across South Carolina—whether in Myrtle Beach, Summerville, Rock Hill, or Florence—can use sale-leasebacks to fund expansion, reduce debt, or plan for succession. Pointe Automotive handles the entire process, from property valuation and lease structuring to investor placement. We ensure your transaction supports long-term goals while maximizing property value and preserving your ability to operate with full continuity.

M&A Support for Privately Held Dealerships

Ownership transitions, mergers, and buy-sell transactions are significant milestones in any dealer’s journey. Pointe Automotive offers M&A Support that complements the work of your CPA, legal team, and financial advisor by focusing on the real estate component of the deal.

We assist with valuation, underwriting, and transaction structuring to ensure your property assets are fully leveraged within the broader M&A strategy. Whether you're a family-owned dealership planning for succession or an operator seeking to grow through acquisition, our insights help you close stronger deals and protect your long-term interests.
