UK dealer group Integra Business Solutions has brokered a number of dealer acquisitions via its new ‘i-merge’ service, which was launched earlier this year.

 

According to a report in OPI, the confidential service aimed at dealer principals looking to either buy or sell a company, i-merge has already supported 16 independent dealers in taking the next step in their business lifecycle.

 

i-merge is being headed by Integra chairman Carl Dovey, who added: “Not only has it helped Integra’s own members, but it has attracted members from other groups and independents. There is no other focused solution available in the industry that provides the level of expertise and support of i-merge and we will continue to help any dealer wishing to discuss their future plans with us.”

 

When launching the i-merge service, Integra said: “Selling your business can be a highly emotive process that requires sensitivity, confidentiality and commercial acumen to ensure a successful outcome for all parties. i-merge will operate with our fundamental values for success at its core; honesty, integrity and professionalism.

 

“Integra is encouraging any dealer who is seriously considering either selling their business or buying one, to get in touch for a free and confidential consultation. Integra can provide a simple introduction or an all-encompassing service incorporating support with legal advice and valuations.”
