Meridian has been valuing petroleum companies since 1991 and has worked with over 3,300 companies. By specializing in petroleum, propane, lubricant and C-store operations we understand the unique details of your industry and can value and market your business with far greater accuracy than other firms.

A valuation is more than just a number. A properly executed valuation is a key factor for getting the most money out of your business and preserving the value of your hard work. Considering that it impacts everything from a possible selling price to the way a succession, merger or acquisition is executed to potential tax consequences; it is the most important factor in every sale, transfer or purchase.

Petroleum is a unique business and should not be treated like any mainstream average business (or any other commodity type business, for that matter). Value in this industry is not realized in a vacuum but in the context of a marketplace that is constantly in motion. The value of each business fluctuates relative to what is going on in the economy-at-large and, more importantly, in this unique industry. So, a strong grasp of what is going on in the marketplace is essential.

If that weren't enough, you have multiple methods or formulas that can be used to derive a value for your business. Each one has its own strengths and weaknesses and the numbers they produce can be off and vary substantially. Meridian understands the problems inherent in each method and uses a proprietary combination of multiple methods to provide you with the highest accuracy and confidence in your petroleum business valuations.

Over the years, Meridian has built what is indisputably the industry's largest financial database of privately owned family petroleum businesses in the United States. Nobody has their finger on the pulse of our industry the way we do!

We’ve seen it all and have helped many smart petroleum marketers with a variety of special situations. Please note that we do not dispense legal advice but can offer you expert guidance to handle your particular situation.
