There has been a lot of discussion about what POTENTIAL Auto Dealership Sellers should do right now, during the pandemic, related to potentially selling their dealership. Contrary to what you may have read, waiting to properly document and prepare a sale package is not one of the options you should consider.
Everyone is involved in a lot of “housekeeping” right now and many dealers are deep into complying with employment related to stimulus payments. Dealers that have been down this road and are considering selling are using this down time to selling cars and reopening their stores. By far the most important aspect of selling is preparation, or in the buy sell world “packaging”.
Every dealer is in the process of deciding who they will hire back and when, but dealers on track to sell are going one step further during this unprecedented time. They are using this time to prepare to sell while their staffs’ are not busy with typical dealership transaction and accounting work.
