South African downstream petroleumPetrol-station valuation

Establish a supportable value before you buy, sell, finance or restructure a petrol station.

UFuel provides independent petrol-station valuation and transaction advice using maintainable earnings, fuel volumes, convenience performance, lease or property position, capital requirements and market context.

When a valuation is required

  • Preparing to sell a petrol station
  • Assessing an acquisition
  • Negotiating with a buyer, seller or shareholder
  • Funding or refinancing
  • Partnership, succession or estate planning
  • Testing whether an asking price is commercially supportable

Information normally required

  • Historic financial statements and management accounts
  • Fuel volumes by product and period
  • Fuel margins, rebates and supply terms
  • Convenience-store, food, car-wash and ancillary income
  • Lease, property or site-right information
  • Licence and operating structure
  • Equipment, maintenance and refurbishment requirements
  • Staff and operating costs
  • Known environmental or compliance issues

What is being valued?

The operating business, property or lease rights, equipment and working capital are not automatically the same asset. The methodology depends on the assignment, transaction structure and quality of the available evidence.

What the valuation report includes

The report should set out the information reviewed, assumptions, methodology, value conclusion or range, sensitivities and material qualifications. Confidentiality begins at first contact.
