How to Sell a Gas Station

Posted on 02/03 at

Selling a gas station may seem like a simple task, but the gas station market is very unique. There are many factors to consider which we will assist you with throughout the process. Here is a list of items that we recommend that all sellers fully understand before listing a service station for sale:

  1.  Marketing – You want to reach the largest amount of good buyers in the shortest amount of time. Gas Stations USA will market your location to this segment through our vast network of advertisements. We have one of the strongest reaches on all major search engines thanks in part to our excellent reputation and services throughout the years. We will also advertise your gas station through all of the major commercial real estate platforms such as BizBuySell, Loopnet, Mailchimp, Facebook Business, Bizquest, and all of the Costar affiliate sites at no cost to you.
  2. Organized Financials – A major item that every buyer will request would be proof of income. You should keep excellent records to prove the income. We will be willing to go over financials with you to inform you of the most crucial documents to have prepared before starting an inspection period with a buyer.
  3. Clean Operation – Make sure that your location is presentable. Many buyers will judge a book by it’s cover. If your station isn’t kept organized and clean, you will lose many potential buyers from the start.
  4. Price Correctly – Make sure you price your gas station and convenience store competitively. You don’t want to price the location too high in hopes of hitting a home run. Buyer’s are well educated and will move along to an alternative gas station that is priced within the normal levels of the market. We always provide consultation to all buyers to give them an idea of what price will be reasonable and what amount we would expect form the market. Our business is selling gas stations and convenience stores so we know the gas station market.
  5. Understand Market and Industry Conditions – Is financing tight? Are interest rates high/low? Do you have a better or worse supply agreement than your competition? Is your gas station in compliance? We will assist you with discussing any of these conditions along with additional items to make the process as easy as possible for you.
