[QUOTE="Milt Hathaway, post: 48000, member: 26"] Re: Becoming an equipment dealer You've got the dealer/manufacturer side figured out, except they'll also require you to have a legit business. A storefront is usually necessary, as is all the proper sales tax/business license/DBA paperwork. As far as how the equipment is distributed once the manufacturer has shipped it, some of that depends upon the manufacturer's dealer agreement. Some will want to tightly control your market (no cross-sales to other dealers, etc.), while others won't care so long as you meet their annual minimums. Also, some manufacturers will only deal with you through regional manufacturer's rep firms. However, these firms will help you get those dealer agreements underway and will support the relationship you have with the companies they represent. [/QUOTE]
