How much does it cost to use Exit Clue as my business broker?

Zero upfront fees. We work on a success-based commission of 5–10% of the final sale price (with a $15,000 minimum) — paid only at closing.

How long does it take to sell a business in San Diego?

Most San Diego business sales close in 3–9 months from listing. Clean financials, realistic pricing, and SBA pre-qualification can shorten the timeline significantly.

How do you keep the sale of my business confidential?

We use blind listings (no business name, no exact address), require NDAs from every prospective buyer, and only release identifying details after pre-qualification.

What size businesses do you broker?

Exit Clue specializes in San Diego businesses with $500K–$10M in annual revenue and at least $50K+ in EBITDA — the lower-middle market sweet spot for individual buyers and small private equity.

Will my business qualify for SBA financing?

Most profitable businesses with 3+ years of clean tax returns qualify for SBA 7(a) loans. We pre-qualify your business before listing so buyers can move fast.

Do you offer free business valuations?

Yes. We provide a no-obligation valuation based on your financials, industry-specific multiples, and current San Diego market conditions — free and confidential.

What do Los Angeles auto repair shops typically sell for?

Owner-operator shops, $500K–$2M revenue

Can I buy a auto repair shop in Los Angeles with SBA financing?

Yes. Most California $300K–$2M deals close with SBA 7(a) financing, 80–90% LTV. You need relevant management or industry experience, 10–20% down, and 12 months personal living expenses in reserves.

Does Exit Clue charge buyers?

No. The seller pays our commission upon successful close. Buyers work with us at no cost.

How long does the buying process take?

4–9 months from initial match to close. SBA underwriting takes 60–90 days once LOI is signed.

Los Angeles Market Notes

Why Auto Repair Shops Trade Differently in Los Angeles

San Diego auto repair shops are some of the most consistent SBA-financeable acquisition targets in the market — buyers love the recurring nature of vehicle maintenance and the stickiness of customer relationships. Exit Clue brokers shops from single-bay independents to 6-bay full-service operations, with valuations driven by ARO (average repair order), bay utilization, technician retention, and underlying real estate.
