My Dream in a Flow Chart....

Exercise #1) My goal is to open my own automotive dealership ("Dars Motors"), specifically a Classic/Muscle Car Dealership. Here are the steps I need to get there:

Research Auto Dealer License Requirements

• Find out how much the license is.
• Find out how much the business license will be.
• Find out the site location requirements for the anticipated auto dealership.

Research Possible Site Locations to Lease/Buy

• Locate possible areas to open a dealership, considering the demographics and competition.
• Compare monthly lease payments or the entire cost to purchase a particular lot.
• Decide which will be cost efficient-buying or leasing a auto site location.
• Assess how many vehicles will be able to fit in the site loaction, considering how much capital I have to purchase the automobile inventory.
  

Research Possible Contacts to Provide the Classic/Muscle Inventory

• Locate and contact auto dealers that can provide the exclusive muscle/classic/hot rod inventory that is desired.
• Compare buying cars individually or wholesale in bulk if available.
• Locate an auto transporter once the inventory provider is confirmed. Or, assess whether it would be cost efficient to purchase my own truck & car hauler to transport inventory.
  

Pay Licensing Fees/Lease Payment(s)/Auto Inventory Costs

• Apply for auto dealer license and pay the mandatory fee.
  
• Pay monthly or annual lease payment.
  
• Pay auto transporter/purchase auto hauler.
• Purchase automobile inventory.
• Purchase repair & cosmetic tools/supplies.
  

Prepare Site Location for Grand Opening

• Paint the site location and purchase signs to display the business.
• Hire contractors to tar the site location for automobiles.
• Purchase security cameras/watchdogs/security wrought iron fences.
  

Unveil inventory at "Dars Motors" Grand Opening!!!!
