AcquiTrust Advisors
Serving Morris County, NJ
AcquiTrust Advisors is a boutique M&A and business advisory firm built on one core belief: selling a business isn’t just a transaction — it’s a life event. That’s why we don’t call ourselves “brokers.” We serve as consultants and strategic partners, guiding owners and buyers with the insight that only real operators can provide. Our team is composed of seasoned business owners who have lived the challenges of entrepreneurship — payroll stress, scaling, downturns, negotiations, and exits. That dual buyer/seller mentality gives our clients a major advantage: we understand both sides of the table, which leads to better deals, smoother negotiations, and faster closings. We’ve successfully handled transactions from $100,000 to over $75 million across healthcare, pharmacies, fitness, hospitality, retail, distribution, education, automotive, and more. What sets AcquiTrust apart? • Consultative, not transactional — we guide, strategize, and negotiate as if the business were our own. • AI-Driven Infrastructure — our CRM, lead generation, valuations, and deal workflows all integrate advanced AI, giving clients faster communication, stronger data insights, and unmatched national reach. • Real-world experience — our advisors have owned, scaled, and sold businesses themselves. • Full confidentiality — every deal is handled with absolute discretion. • Clear communication — when you call, we answer. • Creative deal structuring — earn-outs, seller financing, SBA pathways, multi-entity transactions, and complex negotiations are our specialties. Business owners trust AcquiTrust because we’ve been in the trenches. Buyers trust us because we present real deals supported by real numbers. And both sides benefit from a firm that evolves with the times and uses technology to stay ahead. If you're ready to buy or sell a business with a team that truly understands the process from every angle, AcquiTrust Advisors is the partner you can trust.

How much do car wash owners earn?

How do I value a car wash business?
Valuing a car wash business involves a multitude of factors, but most buyers and sellers will start by assessing its financial performance and comparing that to its peers in the market. Valuation multiples help compare similar businesses with different revenue and earnings levels.
As of our most recent analysis of asking prices in New Jersey, car wash revenue multiples range from 1.75 to 3.48, with the median at 2.57. Earnings multiples range from 4.30 to 6.83, with the median at 6.00. Using these values, the average car wash business in New Jersey might sell for 2.57 times its annual revenue and 6.00 times its annual owner’s discretionary earnings.
Keep in mind, asking prices tend to be higher than final sale prices, so these multiples tend to skew high. Real estate included in the sale will also drive valuation multiples higher.
