Who We Are
Melton Advisors is a senior-led, dealer-focused capital advisory firm serving franchised and independent dealer-operated platforms across automotive retail and adjacent sectors nationwide.
With more than 40 years of dealership operating and transaction experience, Melton Advisors engages franchised and independent dealer-operated platforms across automotive retail and adjacent sectors nationwide—often well before a formal M&A process begins. We advise ownership groups on how valuation positioning, earnings durability, real estate alignment, capital structure, and timing influence both current performance and long-term enterprise value. The objective is not urgency—it is negotiating leverage.
“We integrate M&A strategy, valuation discipline, and transaction leadership so dealer-operated platforms negotiate from a position of strength. Our role is to bring real operating perspective and disciplined capital advisory guidance to decisions that define long-term enterprise value.”
— David Melton, Founder, Melton Advisors
