Business evaluation

An operator’s review of how the station actually runs and whether its performance is sustainable.

Fuel volume analysis

Gallon trends by grade, margin history, and how the site competes on price and location.

Financial review

Comparing tax returns, P&Ls, fuel invoices, and POS data to see whether reported earnings hold up.

Real estate considerations

Lease term and assignment, property ownership, and site factors that affect long-term value.

Identifying operational risks

Equipment condition, supply agreement obligations, compliance issues, and other items worth investigating further.

Engagement

Fee-Based, Independent Guidance

Acquisition consulting is a secondary service offered to buyers who want an experienced operator to look at a deal before they commit. It is billed on a fee basis and is separate from brokerage representation.

The goal is to help you ask the right questions and understand what you are buying. Final decisions — and legal, tax, environmental, and lending matters — should involve your own qualified professionals.

This information is general in nature and is not legal, tax, environmental, or financial advice. Requirements vary by property and transaction. Consult qualified professionals about your specific situation.

Evaluate the Deal Before You Commit.

Whether you plan to sell soon or simply want to know where you stand, a confidential conversation is the right place to start.
