Fuel Supply Agreement Consulting
Make an informed decision about your next contract.
Your fuel agreement affects operating costs, margins, investment decisions, and future flexibility. GasStationForSale.ca helps Ontario gas station owners assess the commercial terms, prepare for renewal, and compare available supply options.
Compare the full cost
Assess rack differentials, freight, fees, rebates, and incentive conditions together to understand the economics of each proposal.
Explore the available fit
Compare branded and independent supply options in the context of your location, annual volume, infrastructure, and business plans.
Present your site clearly
Prepare a structured package describing your station, volume history, renewal timing, and priorities for supplier discussions.
Evaluate the obligations
Consider branding requirements, equipment contributions, image programs, repayment conditions, and transition costs.
Plan for your next move
Identify commercial issues relevant to a purchase, sale, or transfer, and coordinate questions requiring legal review with your lawyer.
Coordinated fuel procurement
Explore the potential of group negotiation.
Coordinating participating stations’ renewal timelines and fuel volumes can create a stronger proposal for suppliers. The opportunity depends on location, delivery logistics, existing commitments, and supplier interest.
Aligned renewal planning
Identify sites with compatible renewal windows and assess whether coordinated discussions are practical.
Combined volume
Present eligible sites together so suppliers can assess the wider supply opportunity.
Consistent comparisons
Evaluate pricing, rebates, delivery terms, and branding support using a clear comparison framework.
Site-specific decisions
Review each station’s proposed terms against its own operating requirements and business objectives.
Put the numbers in perspective
Small differences per litre can add up.
Use annual volume to understand the scale of a proposed pricing change. Then compare the result against freight, fees, investment obligations, and any other costs.
| Net improvement per litre | Annual impact |
|---|---|
| 0.5¢ per litre | $20,000 CAD |
| 1.0¢ per litre | $40,000 CAD |
| 2.0¢ per litre | $80,000 CAD |
Calculation examples only, not typical results or a savings forecast. Assumes 4 million litres annually and no offsetting changes in costs or obligations. Actual results depend on your agreement and supplier proposals.
Renewal preparation
Start with your agreement’s dates and notice requirements.
Review your expiry date, notice provisions, and any automatic renewal language before setting a negotiation timeline. Early preparation creates room to compare proposals and consider operational changes.
Gather the essentials
Collect your current agreement and amendments, recent fuel volumes, pricing statements, rebate records, and renewal correspondence.
Define your priorities
Identify what matters most: supply economics, delivery reliability, branding, equipment investment, flexibility, or a planned sale.
Compare and negotiate
Assess supplier proposals against your priorities, clarify conditions, and coordinate final legal review before signing.
Avoid decisions based on the headline rebate alone.
Look at the complete term, required volume, freight, image costs, repayment obligations, and renewal provisions. An attractive upfront offer may come with commitments that affect its overall value.

Common questions
Fuel supply consulting FAQs
Why have my fuel supply agreement reviewed?
A commercial review helps you understand the pricing structure, ongoing obligations, renewal timing, and terms that could affect your operating plans. Questions about legal interpretation can then be addressed with your lawyer.
Can you help with an agreement I have already signed?
Nav can review the commercial structure and identify matters to discuss with your supplier. Any changes depend on the existing agreement and the supplier’s willingness to negotiate.
How do branded and independent supply options compare?
Compare brand recognition, imaging requirements, supply arrangements, pricing, available incentives, and operating flexibility. The most suitable option depends on the actual proposals and your site’s needs.
How should I compare fuel rebates and discounts?
Review eligibility, volume thresholds, payment timing, exclusions, and repayment conditions. Compare the total delivered cost rather than considering the advertised rebate in isolation.
Can multiple stations explore supply proposals together?
Coordinated discussions may be possible for suitable sites with compatible timelines and requirements. Register your interest so Nav can assess the practical fit; pricing and participation remain subject to individual circumstances.
When should I begin preparing for renewal?
Begin by checking your agreement’s expiry date and notice deadlines. Contact Nav early enough to assess your options before those deadlines. The preparation period depends on your agreement, supplier process, and any proposed brand or equipment changes.
Can you assess a fuel agreement as part of a planned sale?
Yes. Nav can review commercial factors relevant to buyer discussions, including supply economics, remaining obligations, and transfer requirements, alongside the other property and business information.
Can equipment funding be part of a supplier proposal?
Where offered, equipment contributions or financing should be assessed together with the contract term, supply pricing, ownership arrangements, and any repayment obligations.
Can buyers request help during due diligence?
Yes. Nav can help buyers organize the commercial review of pricing, volume commitments, supplier requirements, and renewal dates, with legal matters referred to their lawyer.
