Dealership FAQs

What is a dealership business model?

A dealership is an authorized reselling arrangement where a brand grants you rights to sell their products or services in a specific territory. Unlike franchises, dealerships typically focus on product sales rather than operating a branded outlet. You earn through dealer margins on each sale.

How much does it cost to start a dealership?

Dealership costs depend on the industry and brand. Small consumer goods dealerships start from 1-5 lakhs, while automobile dealerships can require 50 lakhs to several crores. Most dealerships require investment in showroom space, inventory, and working capital.

What is the difference between a dealer and a distributor?

A dealer sells products directly to end consumers (B2C), while a distributor supplies products to retailers and other businesses (B2B). Dealers typically operate showrooms or retail outlets, while distributors manage warehousing and logistics. Some businesses combine both roles.

Do I need experience to become a dealer?
