ABI was founded in 1985 by Roger Pencek (MBA) who is the President and Broker of this Arizona based company with representation through the USA. He personally trains each Broker/Agent before they are eligible to list any Business for sale.

Our trained qualified gas station and car wash sales agents have an extensive background of personally owning businesses and direct gas station and car wash exposure. ABI’s specific talent is in evaluating each business to determine if the company is in fact salable and if so, a logical plan for it to be marketed and ultimately sold. We primarily represent sellers of BUSINESSES with values of $800K - $8M per location.

We are highly experienced in positioning multiple locations of "cluster sales" to REIT's (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and investment groups, whether the sale is a solo location or positioned for group sale, we are the team to trust.

OUR MISSION AND PURPOSE 

Our Mission has remained the same since 1985. Providing the highest level of professionalism and service to our Sellers and honor to our Buyers, to ultimately commence a Close of Escrow for each listing.

BUSINESS FOR SALE: 

1) Standard:  Our standard 12 month exclusive listing requires no retainer and the recommended commission is 8% for the first $1M, 7% for the second $million and 5% for every $million of the sales price per individual business. 

2) Multiple Business Locations:  For Sellers who have 2 or more locations a discounted and negotiated commission fee will be determined.

INITIAL EVALUATION

Our earned reputation in selling CAR WASHES and GAS STATIONS is undisputed (see REFERENCES in our Web Site).  We encourage any sellers contemplating to sell their BUSINESS to call several of their local Business Brokers and validate ‘their’ commissions of 10%. After reviewing our fee arrangement above, our commissions are 2%-3% below our competition, who are ‘general business brokers’.  We at ABI are specialists respected in the Business Brokerage industry and earn your business every step of the way.  Professionally, if after our complimentary initial evaluation we are not in mutual agreement of the “Market Value” of your business, with or without real estate, we’ll simply decline listing your business and urge you to hire that “general business broker” to market your business for sale.  ABI has, and will remain the LEADER in the business brokerage industry, by not listing every BUSINESS - only the ones that are saleable.  

Buyers: How We Perform 

Buyers are given all the honor and fair dealing that is afforded to complete their inquire of any of our listed gas stations and car washes for sale. Upon their request of any of our listings and a confidentiality form authorized, we will provide them with a list of current lenders, insurance, equipment dealers etc., to assist them in their investigation of each listing (see REFERENCES in our Web Site). 

Buyer/Broker Agreement:

Often times buyers will alternatively, at their option, enter into a Buyer Broker Exclusive Agreement (BBE) with us.  ThIS agreement hires ABI as their exclusive agent in finding a personalized business for them with specific geographic and financial terms.  If we have the business already in inventory to sell them, the goal is achieved immediately.  The BBE instrument provides us to bring unsuspecting car wash owners ”letters of intent” or ”purchase agreements” on behalf of our registered “buyer” for companies that are not actively on the market.   Reciprocal confidentiality of both “Buyer” and “Seller” is strictly preserved, as when the seller typically hires us to sell their business. Our commission fees for this BBE here are the same, as for business owners that list their car washes or gas stations for sale. However, never do we charge both buyer and seller double, if we sell them a Business already in inventory.
