Hi folks, Will here from the Acquisitions Anonymous team. Today's episode looked at a two-location car wash business in Virginia that's up for sale at nearly $11 million.
Combined revenue is around $1.6 million, with a reported cash flow of approximately $940K. The asking price is hefty - so is this actually real estate play?
Takeaways
- The cash flow margin is impressive, sitting at about 59%. That's a big number, but what's driving it?
- The real estate component is likely a major part of the valuation. If you're interested, you need to consider how much of the price is justified by the land.
- Running a car wash isn't just about washing cars. There are operational challenges like managing labor and maintaining equipment.
- Potentially, SBA financing could be an option if the real estate value is high enough, offering a longer-term financing route.
- With such a significant investment, understanding the sustainability of revenue models like subscriptions is crucial.
Plus, Mills has some wild car wash stories in this episode (involving inmates and tigers).
