Project KOWALSKI - A Market-Proven, Manufacturer-Independent Car Dealership

A market-proven, manufacturer-independent car dealership with stable profitability, a good micro-location, and excellent macro-connectivity. Full-service car dealership with 30 years of market presence: Established over 30 years ago, the dealership is positioned as a multi-brand automotive specialist with a focus on Opel. Its broad range of services includes new and used cars, an in-house master auto repair shop, a tire business, financing, vehicle rentals, and vehicle reconditioning. Strong base of regular and frequent customers: Approximately 60% of customers are regulars (up to the 7th year of ownership), and 700 tire storage contracts—each requiring two mandatory service visits per year—ensure predictable, recurring business volume independent of the new-car business. Countercyclical used-car purchasing as a differentiator: The company utilizes established sourcing channels—including international ones when necessary—to purchase vehicles countercyclically and with high margins. Vehicle financing is funded entirely from the company’s own cash flow—no bank debt. Future-proof infrastructure and electric mobility: Four employees with electric vehicle certification, 110 kW of charging capacity from the grid, and a 110 kW photovoltaic system position the company as a partner well-prepared for the transition to electric mobility. Flexible transition phase facilitated by the seller: The seller and managing partner is interested in a medium- to long-term transition phase—and would be happy to serve as managing director if desired.

Buying a company vs. buying a firm

Buying a company means acquiring an independent organizational unit that regularly carries out an economic activity. A company can consist of one or several business operations. An individual can also found such an independent unit if they regularly carry out an economic activity — in that case it is called a sole proprietorship. As a rule, sole proprietors don't have to register in the commercial register; without that registration, they don't legally count as a "firm." A trade name, colloquially a "firm," is the name under which a company or sole proprietor appears publicly and conducts its business. Buying "a firm" therefore technically means acquiring the company's name or trading name. In everyday use, though, it's used interchangeably with buying a company — i.e. acquiring the entire business.
