Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN)
Vehicle Acquisition Network (VAN) is an automotive software platform built to help car dealerships acquire high-quality used vehicles directly from private sellers—without relying on auctions. As wholesale prices rise and vehicle availability tightens, VAN empowers dealers with tools to source inventory faster, more profitably, and with greater control.
VAN aggregates local FSBO (for-sale-by-owner) listings, applies real-time market data to assess profitability, and automates communication with sellers at scale. Buyers can manage leads, track seller conversations, and streamline acquisition workflows through an intuitive CRM-style dashboard designed specifically for dealership teams.
For dealers who don’t have dedicated acquisition staff, VAN offers a Managed Buyer program, pairing stores with expert buyers who actively source, engage, and negotiate with private sellers on their behalf—saving time and boosting acquisition volume without internal hiring.
VAN is trusted by hundreds of dealerships across North America—from independent rooftops to franchise groups—looking to beat Carvana and CarMax at their own game. It's the smarter way to buy cars.

SMERGERS
At SMERGERS, we understand business valuation as a method for determining a company's actual worth. This process typically utilizes several methods, such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), trading comparables, and transaction comparables. Ownership of a company can be divided into two primary groups: shareholders and debt holders. The total value that benefits both of these owner categories is referred to as the enterprise value, while the portion attributable solely to shareholders is known as equity value, commonly termed market cap for publicly traded firms. When comparing companies, enterprise value is often favored over equity value since levels of debt and cash can differ markedly, even among businesses within the same sector. In the context of an acquisition, it is essential to assess the valuation of specific business elements, depending on whether the deal is structured as an asset purchase or a stock purchase. This valuation methodology is a critical tool that investment bankers frequently employ during acquisition negotiations, ensuring that all financial aspects are thoroughly evaluated. Ultimately, understanding these valuation principles is vital for making informed investment decisions.
