SERVICES
Buyers
Our deep contacts within the industry give our clients superior access to marina owners and industry participants. We build and maintain long-term relationships not only with our clients but also with established ownership groups and industry professionals. Our acquisition-focused clients are assured responsive service, full disclosure, and the highest level of market insight and business advisory at every step of the acquisition process.
After selecting an acquisition target we work closely with our clients to establish a valuation of the target business. Our process includes financial and qualitative assessment of the underlying business and its various components including contracts, environmental, buildings and grounds, waterfront, local and regional market analysis. We provide detailed cash flow analysis on past financials and cash flow forecasting to determine reserve and financing requirements. Our capacity also includes quantifying a business expansion opportunity and future development potential. Our bottom line is helping our clients invest successfully in the industry.
SELLERS
Our deep contacts give our clients superior access within the marine industry. When it comes to selling a marina or marine business we are able to access strategic buyers and marine focused entrepreneurs through our customized approach to the market. We build and maintain long-term relationships not only with our clients but also with established ownership groups and industry professionals.
As a business seller you are assured outstanding professional service. Our clients benefit from the highest level of market insight and business advisory throughout every step of the divestment process. Whether you are exiting an investment or selling a legacy business, we assist our clients in realizing the full value of their assets.
When approached by a prospective buyer our seller clients benefit from our experience once again. Through careful selection and diligence we bring forward the most qualified buyers. Our advisors have extensive knowledge in negotiating and valuing floor plan, existing inventory, and business assets. As a benefit to our seller client we work with both parties to facilitate pre-transaction diligence and post-closing ownership transition.
We embrace confidentiality as a top priority for our clients. Our internal controls ensure strict privacy in all of our engagements through initial contact, valuation, and business marketing.
Valuation
We offer expert services in the valuation of marinas and marine related enterprises.
The management of marine businesses is highly specialized and the property attributes of marine properties are truly unique. We understand the marine industry, from the many utilities offered at marinas to the sophisticated yacht building methods employed by manufacturers throughout the world.
Our valuation process encompasses consideration of the organizational, management and capital structures of your business. We provide detailed analysis of historic and projected financial performance, products and services consulting, measuring industry competition, and analyzing current and future market conditions. We carefully consider each component impacting value through our specific and comprehensive assessment.
Ownership and management groups benefit from valuations for a number of reasons including investment, expansion, and other strategic planning considerations. Valuations are also relevant to assist with succession, estate planning, and in some cases a decision to sell the business. We look forward to learning about your business and providing a valuation.
Co-Listing Services
MarinaSales is available to assist financial intermediaries and real estate professionals with valuation, packaging, and marketing endeavors for marinas and marine businesses. We are fully available to answer questions and provide insight at every step in the process. Selling a marina or marine business is a very unique undertaking – one that often suffers when brokers lack specific experience and marine knowledge. Our co-listing partners and their clients are well served accessing our experience, knowledge, and database.
Our buyer database is continually updated by visitors to our website and inquiries generated through our marketing campaigns and ongoing advertisements in nationwide publications and marine trade journals.
We provide worldwide exposure to qualified buyers specifically seeking marine related businesses and properties, each carefully screened to our high standards of background, experience and financial strength.
