WEBINAR DETAILS

What you'll gain

Your dealership is likely your largest asset. Do you know what it’s really worth—or how to make it worth more?
Most dealers focus on monthly profits—but very few truly understand what drives the long-term value of their dealership.
Valuation isn’t just about selling. It affects:
Your personal wealth
Succession and exit planning
Risk, leverage, and control
The kind of buyers, partners, and opportunities available to you
In this DealerHero webinar, valuation expert Laura Lemco will break down how dealerships are actually valued—and what owners can do today to build a more valuable business over time.
This webinar is ideal for: Dealership owners and partners, dealers thinking about succession or exit planning, growth-minded operators building long-term wealth, and dealers who want to reduce owner dependency and risk.
Whether you plan to sell in 2 years or 20 years, understanding valuation helps you make better decisions now.
