Buying A Gas Station
Learn How To Buy A Highly Profitable Gas Station/Convenience Store.
How can you be sure a particular gas station is a worthwhile investment?
- It’s not about the overall appearance of the station.
- It’s not about what the seller initially tells you.
- It’s not even always about the location…
The ‘real secret’ to buying a profitable gas station business is in knowing the exact strategies to use at each step in the buying process and by conducting an impeccable analysis, review, negotiation and valuation to be certain you pay the right price and terms and uncover any potential problems before you complete the transaction.
Secrets For Getting The Inside Scoop On Stations That Have Attracted Your Attention.
Impersonate a customer. Drive in. Buy gas. Then go into the store. Use the bathroom. Buy something. Pay for it with a credit card to see how well that works. In one visit, you can uncover lots of problems that the seller will never reveal to you – and which are not visible in his or her books or in those Internet listings. By the way, how the owner keeps the bathrooms will tell you a lot about how he maintains his books and records and the pride he does or does not have in running the business. Additionally, you should:
- Drive around the neighborhood at all hours of the night and day. A location that looks ideal in the middle of the afternoon can look horrible at other hours…
- Talk to owners of other gas stations and convenience stores in the area. They are almost always happy to share their opinions and insights on doing business in the area…
- Speak with franchisees. If you are thinking of buying a gas station franchise from one of the major oil companies, meet with other people who own those franchises
- Talk to local police to get a view of crime. You could go to city hall and review police blotter records to find out just how safe the neighborhood really is…
- Visit the Chamber of Commerce. Ask about new businesses that are planned for the area, whether businesses are starting up, or closing their doors…
- Visit the local library. Read two or three months’ worth of local newspapers…
- Visit the town planning board. Find out what is happening in the area…
- Find out all you can about the major employers in the area. If a factory is about shut down and cause layoffs, you need to know that…
- Talk with the vendors that the seller is using. Don’t fail to do this…
- Dissect and understand all the ownership details about the station you are considering. “Owning a station” can mean many different things…
The old advice, “Let the buyer beware,” applies to buying any new business and specifically when it comes to buying a gas station for sale. Unless you know exactly what you are buying, how can you decide whether the business you are considering is a steal . . . or a disaster waiting to bankrupt you?
My advice will help you make that call. But take your research to the next level by getting a copy of our special guide, “How To Buy A Good Gas Station/C-Store At A Great Price©.”
