Pawnshop Consulting Group currently has more than $30 million in pawnshop acquisition opportunities in the pipeline—and we are actively seeking additional qualified pawnshop owners who may be considering their options.
The pawnshop acquisition market remains extremely active. In more than 35 years of involvement in pawnshop acquisitions, PCG has rarely seen this level of interest from serious, well-capitalized buyers.
For the right operations, valuation multiples are at or near historic highs.
If you have ever considered selling your pawnshop—whether today, next year, or several years from now—this may be the right time to determine what your business is actually worth.
Start With a Professional Pawnshop Valuation
Before deciding whether to sell, you need a realistic understanding of value.
A professional PCG pawnshop valuation can include:
- Review of historical financial performance
- Analysis of pawn loans, inventory and other operating assets
- Adjustments to identify normalized operating earnings
- Evaluation of EBITDA and cash flow
- Review of store performance and key operating metrics
- Consideration of current market multiples and buyer activity
- Identification of factors that may increase—or reduce—transaction value
- A realistic opinion of what your operation may command in today’s acquisition market
The U.S. Small Business Administration also emphasizes the importance of establishing a business valuation before presenting an operation to prospective buyers.
Knowing your value does not obligate you to sell. It gives you information—and options.

Why Consider the Pawnshop Acquisition Market Now?
The answer is simple: buyer demand.
There are currently aggressive strategic and financial buyers actively seeking quality pawnshop operations. Well-performing stores and groups can attract significant interest, and some multiples for the right opportunities are at historic levels.
That doesn’t mean every pawnshop should be sold. It means every owner contemplating an eventual exit should understand what their business is worth in today’s market.
