Sell Your Gas or Service Station in California

The sale and valuation of a gas or service station is far more complex than the sale of most businesses.

Gas stations often offer multiple services that must be evaluated separately and then consolidated into a final valuation. These services often include gasoline sales; convenience store sales; quick service restaurants, otherwise referred to as fast food restaurants; cafes; car washes; and oil/lube job services. In addition, gas station sales often include the sale of the real estate and the need to obtain SBA financing.

In addition to determining the valuation of a gasoline service station using Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) or Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, (EBITA) gasoline service stations are also valued based on the number of gallons of gasoline sold. Obviously, the terms of any sale are also important.

In addition to the standard list of requested documents, a quality evaluation is dependent upon receiving and reviewing three years of tax returns, environmental/state compliance reports, and any fuel agreements.
