Since partnering with Incline in 2022, CCG has expanded its affiliate network to all 50 states and Canada
Pittsburgh—Private equity firm Incline Equity Partners has announced the sale of Certified Collision Group, a subscription-based membership network for independent collision repair shops, to The Riverside Company.
“The collision repair industry is large, highly fragmented and experiencing both consolidation and professionalization, with independents seeking to compete with national multi-shop operators,” said Riverside Partner Drew Flanigan. “CCG is positioned to continue growing in its core market given its unique business model, unmatched network of affiliates, insurers, vendors and distributors and a highly scalable asset-lite operating structure.”
Riverside Principal Daniel Grinnan added, “We look forward to working with CCG to accelerate affiliate growth, deepen vendor, distributor and carrier partnerships and expand service offerings through both M&A and organic strategies.”
CCG offers the benefits of scale to independent collision repair shops. Since partnering with Incline in 2022, the company has expanded its affiliate network to all 50 states and Canada, providing access to insurance programs, OEM certification support, performance management and a broad range of vendor rebate programs.
“During our hold period, CCG more than doubled revenue through organic initiatives and two strategic acquisitions,” said Tom Ritchie, Partner at Incline. “We worked closely with Michelle Sullivan and other key hires to strengthen the leadership team, invest in technology and expand sales capabilities, positioning the Company for its next phase of growth.”
Michelle Sullivan, CEO at CCG, said, “Incline’s experience and resources helped us significantly grow our capabilities and network. With support from Incline and their Catalyst Group, we developed a proprietary data tool to enhance purchasing visibility and drive growth opportunities for affiliates and vendor partners.”
