The Benefits of Having your own Dealer License
You will own your own Dealership. You are the boss, and this comes with tax benefits. You are able to expense anything associated with running your business. Your biggest expense will be your rent and insurance, obviously. But then you have all of your cars, expense on any financing and loans. Other expenses you can “write off” includes storage fees, gas, towing, repairs, marketing/advertising etc. The obvious huge benefit of having your own Dealer License is the ability to get into any Dealer auctions around the country.
Many Dealers shop at auction access partner auctions like Manheim and Adesa, etc. You will also be ale to buy directly from other dealers and private (non-public) marketplaces. Most local auctions are free to register with if you have a license and tax ID number.
You won’t even feel like a Dealer without your own dealer plates. Having your own Dealership plates is a huge benefit and a “perk”. Dealer plates allow you to take customers out on the open road for customer test-drives. Having your own dealer plates allows you to drive a vehicle (demo) around until you decide to sell it. As a Dealer, you don’t actually have to register your vehicles. Slap on a plate a drive.
If you have your own Florida Dealer License, you can qualify for loans and financing for your dealership and customers. Many banks are eager to lend you money and the first thing they will ask you for is your license number. Loans to build up your inventory are called “Floor Plans” in the car industry lingo, These are short term loans that are payable in 30, 60 or 90 days. Generally you can expect to pay $1.75-$3.00 per day to borrow money in this fashion.
As a Dealership with your own license, you no longer have limits on how many cars you can buy and sell per year, ever! Buy and sell in and out of state. Check you local regulations, but as a licensed dealer you can usually buy and ship cars in and out of state with no problem.
Keep more money in your accounts, never pay sales tax on any Dealership business transactions. You can buy a car from the auctions or a private owner tax free baby! You don’t have to register cars into your name before you sell them either.
