How are spare parts businesses valued?

Most deals are priced as stock at cost, plus fixtures and equipment, plus goodwill based on verified profit and customer relationships. Because stock can be a large part of the price, agree the valuation method in the MoU: who counts, what price list is used, and how old or slow-moving stock is treated. A business with fast-moving stock and steady trade customers is worth more than one with a full warehouse of slow-moving parts. See our hardware shop for sale in Dubai guide.

What is the best way to sell a car for parts in the UAE?

If you’re a car owner rather than a buyer of a business, the usual options are to sell the car to a used-parts dealer or scrap yard, sell it whole to a buyer who will strip it, or sell valuable parts separately. Make sure the car’s registration is cancelled correctly with the traffic authority when it leaves your name, and get a written receipt. For an existing parts dealer, buying cars for parts is part of the business model, so check how the seller sources and documents these cars. See our mobile shop for sale in Dubai guide.

How do I buy a spare parts business step by step?

  1. Visit the shop and warehouse, and see how quickly stock moves.
  2. Sign an MoU with the price and the stock valuation method.
  3. Complete due diligence on the licence, suppliers, customers and finances.
  4. Get landlord consent and update Ejari.
  5. Transfer the licence through DET, and update the Dubai Customs and supplier accounts.
  6. Count the stock on the handover day, then pay the balance.

More detail is in our guide on how to buy a business in Dubai.

How do I sell a spare parts business?

Prepare a current stock list with costs, your licence and lease, supplier agreements and 12 months of sales. Buyers want to know how fast your stock moves and who your trade customers are. Then post your business on BusinessFinder.me with the price in AED, stating clearly whether stock is included.
