The Green & Co. Difference -We don't just list a business for sale and hope a buyer comes along. We actively search for buyers for all of our listings. -We pride ourselves on going above and beyond when communicating with our sellers. One of the biggest complaints that we hear from business owners who have previously listed with another company is that they were listed and never heard from their broker again. We ensure regular and open communication. -We have an extensive buyer database of buyers who are waiting for the right business to come on the market. -We do more than just confidentially market our listings on the popular consumer websites and our central MLS, we use the best marketing tools and methods in the industry. -Confidentiality is king, so we screen and pre-qualify every potential buyer. It is our goal to make the process of either buying a new business or selling your current business as smooth and efficient as possible. We know how important confidentiality is to our sellers and we treat it with the utmost importance. Creating a win-win outcome for all parties involved is what we believe makes or breaks a deal. We use our knowledge and experience in the business industry to your advantage. As a result, our clients always come first. We pride ourselves on being responsive, communicative and hard-working. We have a "whatever it takes" attitude, and that is truly how we approach each and every business transaction that we help with.

FAQs
How much does it cost to buy a car wash in Florida?
The cost of buying a car wash can vary significantly depending on the location, size, and profitability of the business. Based on our most recent analysis of car washes listed for sale, the median asking price is $749,000.
How much do car wash owners earn?
Florida car wash owners' earnings vary, but the median reported revenue is $513,850, with owner earnings at $120,035 annually.
How do I value a car wash business?
Valuing a car wash business involves a multitude of factors, but most buyers and sellers will start by assessing its financial performance and comparing that to its peers in the market. Valuation multiples help compare similar businesses with different revenue and earnings levels.
As of our most recent analysis of asking prices in Florida, car wash revenue multiples range from 1.87 to 4.62, with the median at 3.00. Earnings multiples range from 3.32 to 6.12, with the median at 4.17. Using these values, the average car wash business in Florida might sell for 3 times its annual revenue and 4.2 times its annual owner’s discretionary earnings.
Keep in mind, asking prices tend to be higher than final sale prices, so these multiples tend to skew high. Real estate included in the sale will also drive valuation multiples higher.
