Download the criteria

Repair & maintenance

Independent shops with an established customer base and a reliable daily operation.

Diagnostics & electrical

Technical service businesses where expertise, equipment and reputation matter.

Specialist services

Automotive businesses built around a clear technical capability or customer need.

Owner transitions

Established operations where an owner is considering succession, a step back or a change in responsibility.

We look at the owner’s daily role, team capability, customer relationships and the quality of the financial records. Equipment, property arrangements and near-term investment needs are part of the same review.

Reported earnings are a starting point. Owner replacement costs, working capital and the cash needed to run the business are considered separately.
