Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about the dealer license?

Will this be my own company and dealer license?

Yes, this will be your own company with the LLC or S-Corp in your name. We do not encourage you to "rent" auction access since the risks are too great when you work under another license. The goal is to establish your own dealer business rather than simply adding you as a buyer under someone else's dealership. The exact entity, ownership, license type and state requirements are reviewed during your consultation.

Can I sell both retail and wholesale?

Yes you can sell both retail and wholesale. Your license will be a retail license. Unlike others out there, we apply for a retail dealer's license so you have the ability to sell directly to the public. We also have options for you to finance and offer extended warranties.

Can I buy and sell vehicles in all 50 states?

Yes you can Buy & Sell Anywhere in the USA as well as Canada and in other countries.

Can I finance Vehicles and offer Extended Warranties?

Yes it is possible for you to Finance your clients and offer extended warranties for your retail sales.

Can I attend dealer-only auctions?

Once your dealership is properly licensed, you can apply for dealer access with auctions for which your license type qualifies. Each auction has its own registration, credential and approval requirements.

Do I need a physical location?

We have locations in several states that do not require a physical lot only an office.

What if I have never been a dealer before?

You do not need to already know the entire business. The process can include guidance on auctions, vehicle valuation, inventory buying and dealership operations in addition to licensing assistance.
