New car dealers

Business Ideas:

  1. New Car Dealership

Industry Details:

  • NAICS Code: 44111
  • Category: Retail
  • License Required: Yes
  • Technical Score: 3 of 10
  • Suggested Funds: More than $1M

Summary:

I learned that auto retail is an unnervingly cash-intensive business. While covering the massive daily overhead of the _facility, the equipment, and the staff, dealers lay out millions of dollars for new-car inventory from the manufacturers and _typically finance it through the automaker�s captive lender, paying an interest rate or �floorplan� on each vehicle until it sells, while also stocking the used-car lot with trade-ins and auction buys. Dealers know that if your lot isn�t overflowing with vehicles, you don�t sell as many because buyers don�t like to wait. Yeah, car-company execs sometimes talk a big game about factory stores � la Tesla, but they love the fact that the dealers, not the factory, carry the huge costs of the unsold inventory. And while they are hourly paying out, dealers are often waiting to be paid on sales contracts by the lenders who finance the deals and who can run on their own leisurely schedules. A dealer once told me that so much cash is in transit every month, flowing in and out, that the difference between solvency and bankruptcy can be but a few days at the end of the month. I learned that because the margins on new cars are so slim, today averaging less than 4 percent, the majority of dealers make most of their money on used cars and what�s called the �back end,� or financing, parts, and service.

Best to establish business relationships with key automobile service repair and maintenance businesses in your area. Do not underestimate services speed and price in your business dealings. It is also important to manage inventory through a system that ensures appropriate levels of stock; you can lose customers quickly with only one occurrence of unavailable stock.

  • Category: Retail
  • License Required: Check State

Summary:

You need to expect low transaction rates per day, but high ticket values. Most individual consumer buyers are available in the evenings and weekends. Open hours during these times is critical for business sustainment. Buyers most decide on price after they have decided on the item. Managing inventory is key to increasing sales volumes, and staying in touch with current style trends is important. Competing with online is not as difficult as with other businesses due to shipping cost and long wait times for online buyers to return items, so you need to take advantage of this with in-store options and a wide variety of options.
