Question 1

How much is my gas station worth?

Accepted Answer

Your gas station is worth your SDE multiplied by an industry multiple of 1.8x to 3.0x. The business and real estate are valued separately. The calculator gives you a market-backed estimate adjusted for fuel margins, c-store performance, real estate value, and environmental compliance.

Question 2

What factors affect a gas station valuation?

Accepted Answer

Key factors: fuel margin (spread after credit card fees), c-store gross margin, real estate value if owned, underground storage tank compliance status, fuel supplier contracts, location and traffic, and overall business quality score.

Question 3

Do I need to own the real estate to sell?

Accepted Answer

No. You can sell just the business (leasehold) or the business plus real estate (fee simple). Owned real estate is valued separately.
