Advantage Commercial Brokers
Serving King County, WA
Advantage Commercial Brokers is a boutique brokerage firm that specializes in selling privately held companies in Nevada and Washington State. Over the last 20 years, we have successfully sold companies in just about every industry imaginable including service, manufacturing, wholesale, distribution, e-commerce, automotive, construction, industrial, professional practice, retail, technology, education, franchises, hospitality, and more. Why choose Advantage Commercial Brokers? * Direct representation by the most experienced brokers. Unlike hiring a larger firm that touts its company experience only to find that you are assigned a junior broker or that your company may be too small to deserve much attention amongst its large accounts, most clients at Advantage Commercial Brokers are represented directly by the President of Advantage Commercial Brokers with decades of business brokerage experience. * Business ownership experience. Unlike most business brokers in the industry who are salespeople looking to earn a commission, the principals of Advantage Commercial Brokers are successful business owners themselves. Aaron Muller, President of Advantage Commercial Brokers, currently owns multiple companies that run without him in addition to recently selling one of his companies in excess of $50 million. Aaron represents business sellers as a business broker not because he needs the commission, but because he wants to help his fellow entrepreneurs exit the business smoothly and profitably. Business buyer and sellers count on Aaron for his objective and expert advice. * Specialty. Selling privately held companies is all we do. We do not sell houses, and we do not sell commercial real estate unless it is attached to a business sale. We know how to sell a business inside and out.

Buy an Automotive and Boat Business
Some automotive and boat businesses for sale specialize in retail, while others focus on providing services like repairs and maintenance, and still others offer a combination of both. From auto repair shops and car washes to towing companies, truck stops, and gas stations, the businesses in the automotive sector keep consumers moving.
The auto repair and maintenance industry is bouncing back from 2020 pandemic related disruptions. The auto industry accounts for 3% of GDP for the U.S. and employs over 1.7 million people. This sector is expected to expand by over 5% during the next decade. With projected growth in both marine and automotive repair industries, businesses in these sectors may be good investments. One of the primary advantages of buying an existing automotive or boat business is that it comes with established credibility in the market. Some of the most popular categories include:
- Auto Repair and Service Shops
- Car Dealerships
- Car Washes
- Junk and Salvage Yards
- Marine & Boat Services and Dealers
- Towing Companies
- Truck Stops
