Expansion opportunities Kerrigan Advisors recently expanded offices to Miami, Florida, signaling geographic growth and potential cross-market deal opportunities in the Southeast. Engage with regional auto dealer networks and PE-backed dealership groups expanding in Florida to introduce sell-side advisory services.

Strategic hiring The addition of a Senior Vice President for Sell-Side Advisory (Chris Gempton) who brings extensive automotive M&A experience indicates ongoing growth and capacity to handle larger or more complex transactions. This presents a chance to position premium advisory services to larger dealership groups seeking experienced sell-side guidance.

Market leadership Kerrigan Advisors publishes industry-leading reports and indices such as The Kerrigan Index and Blue Sky Reports, establishing credibility and a data-driven narrative. Use their thought leadership to open conversations with dealers and OEMs about valuation trends, buy/sell timing, and sell-side readiness.

Financial health cue With reported revenue in the 10–25 million range and a notable deal history including multi-billion-dollar transactions, Kerrigan Advisors demonstrates strong market demand for high-value sell-side engagements. Target high-value dealership groups and portfolios seeking expert, conflict-free advisory for large exits.

Service positioning The firm emphasizes a conflict-free, sell-side-only model and avoidance of dealership listings, branding itself as a trusted partner for exclusive advisory. Leverage this unique value proposition when approaching dealerships and groups wary of mixed agency models or listing-driven processes.
