Guide On How To Get A Car Wholesale License

By Harold Brooks


Every country around the world has regulations that govern various businesses. To operate any business, one must be approved and then issued with a permit to protect consumers of these products and services. Motor vehicle dealers are doing well in this business which has attracted a lot of people in car dealing, to meet the ever-rising demand. Here are steps on how to get a car wholesale license to enter this business.

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 next pointer is obtaining a surety bond. Every state has rules and regulations that car dealers must adhere too, otherwise, they will be fined. No customer will want to purchase from someone without the bond since there is no guarantee of quality services or standards. In the event of fraudulent operations by the dealer, the bond amount pays for the damages. Bonds sell at varying prices, visit a local agency and request for a quote.

The other thing you need to have is a driving license. One cannot be approved to be a dealer without a permit. The checklist on the website might not provide these details but they are very essential. Without a driving permit, your application will be rejected until the amount is paid. If you do not have a permit, take time to look for a genuine driving school to acquire training.

Another step you should not forget is picking the right location for your business. If you are not stable financially, lease the place or rent it and keep proper records of your contract. The place must meet the entire requirement because an inspection will be done to ensure the right vehicle storage criteria. Failure to meet the various criteria can lead to rejection of your application. Proper photos of the location are also required by the authorities.

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.

Lastly, go online and search for vehicles auctions that are going on in your area. This should be only after you have obtained the permit because only the licensed dealers are allowed. Do some market research on the demand of vehicles so that you get them in the auction. Set a fair price so that you attract many clients.
