New Car Dealership Business Plans, Open Points and Factory Applications
On more than one occasion, our clients have been told by decision makers that our plan was among the best they had ever seen. On the other hand, there were times we advised our clients to pass on a store or open point because our independent analysis indicated the demographics, or other factors, would not support the potential the factory suggested.
Items covered by our plans include, among other things, research, analysis and conclusions regarding:
✓ A description our client’s proposed site location and facility plans

✓ Management Compensation plans of employees
