Steps On How To Get A Car Wholesale License

By Harold Brooks


Commodities that were not affordable decades ago are now affordable due to use of cheap materials and technology. Things like motor vehicles are no longer a luxury. Without vehicles, a lot of operations will pause. Motor vehicle manufacturers and dealers have therefore been able to exist in the industry for the longest time because of the ever-growing demand. To get in the business, one will require a car wholesale license. The following are the tips on how to get a car wholesale license.

The first pointer is visiting the DMV website. Here, you will find a checklist which you should read up to see the requirements and various application forms. Remember that permits defer. A wholesale dealer license is not similar to that of an auction dealer. If you make the wrong choice you will limit yourself. In the website, you will find an application guide too. Use it to complete all parts correctly.

The next thing is to submit your fingerprint card. The application must have your fingerprints. Visit law enforcement agencies for police clearance. However, if you have committed any crime or felony, your records will show and you might not be issued with a clearance certificate which is required if the dealership permit is to be issued. In some states, even with a criminal record, there is a way you can be issued with a permit.

The other step is obtaining a bond. A surety bond is another requirement that must be met before the issuance of a license. Since even after getting a permit some dealers will operate outside the rules and regulations, the bond amount ensures those customers that get affected are compensated by the dealer. Therefore, purchase a bond that you see favorable before submitting your forms. It is not a must you pay the maximum amount since quotes differ.

Also, a driving license is a must for one to be issued with a permit to sell cars. It makes no sense to sell vehicles when you cannot drive. This is one of the major requirements during application. Be aware of scams going on in the internet. People will lie to you that they can help you acquire the permit fast and since you are desperate, you fall for the trap. Search for a legitimate driving program.

Again, look for a location for your dealer shop. You can buy or lease the space depending on your financial capabilities. The authorities will need a physical address for the business. You must prove to them that the place belongs to you. You must have a lease contracted if you have leased the location and a picture of the business premises. Ensure the place meets all the requirements because an inspection will be done.

The authorities will also require that you have a name for your entity. People make mistakes at this point by submitting names similar to those of the competitors in this industry to gain customers. However, such names are rejected which is why you need an original name that sells your brand.

Finally, after making the submission and getting the wholesale dealer permit, the next thing is to stock your business. Look for auctions that are selling vehicles at reasonable rates and purchase the brand of vehicles you think are in high demand. After you are stable enough, you can upgrade the permit to make more sales and profit.
