Thinking of Selling Your Fitness Club or Sports Business?
We Can Help.
If you are thinking of selling a fitness club or related business, we would be delighted to speak with you. We are happy to provide you with insights regarding the current M&A market, valuations, and trends.
We offer two levels of service depending on your needs.
The first is our full-service option. In this case, we’ll handle everything involved in selling your business. From determining the value to closing the deal and successfully selling your business.
This option is recommended for sports and fitness businesses that have over $500,000 in revenue and generate over $100,000 in net income.
Our compensation is composed of a retainer plus a commission that typically averages around 10% of the purchase price.
The other option is called EXIT-PRO. This is a flat fee, no-commission service that helps you sell your business yourself with a Sports Club Advisor consultant available to help and coach you through the process.
This option is recommended for sports and fitness studios that have less than $500,000 in revenue and less than $100,000 in net operating income. Learn more here.
To discuss your options feel free to call us at (224) 513-5142.
What makes Sports Club Advisors different from the competition?
Our Sell-Side Advisors Have Over 20 Years of Experience
Our advisors are seasoned entrepreneurs and health & fitness club professionals who each have over 20 years of investment banking and mergers and acquisitions experience. They have a track record of starting, acquiring, raising capital for, and selling companies with revenues of between $1 million to over $100 million. During their careers they have been involved in over 100 transactions and have performed over 250 business valuations.
Because of their first-hand industry knowledge and experience, our advisors can help guide you through each step of the sales process. They know how to critically analyze a club or business, how to look at it from a buyer’s perspective to identify its strengths and weaknesses, and how to value and structure a transaction to maximize the value of your business.
We customize our sell-side services to meet your goals and budget by offering our full-service/commission-based approach or our EXIT-PRO/no commission approach. To learn more contact us today.
Highly Effective Marketing Strategy to Attract Buyers
We adopt a three pronged approached when marketing a client’s company.
First, we start by reaching out to registered buyers in our extensive database of over 6,000 active sports, fitness, and leisure sector buyers.
Second, we send notices about each company we bring to market to our network of over 700 lawyers, accountants, bankers, and other brokers who have clients in the sports, fitness, and leisure sector.
Third, we post detailed listings on the three top leading business-for-sale websites that get over 100,000 visitors a day looking to buy a business.
The combination of these three approaches generates significant interest in every opportunity we bring to market, typically resulting in multiple offers for each company.
Two Levels of Service to Fit Every Budget
We offer fitness industry clients two levels of service depending on their needs and budget.
