Where to start

Decide on the format: retail, wholesale, online sales, new or used parts, and target brands.

How to make the right decision

Check the appropriate business activities and the requirements for import, warehousing, retail premises and mainland sales.

What to include in the budget

Include inventory, rent, fit-out, catalog, delivery, staff, returns and working capital.

How to avoid delays

Before buying a large stock, test demand via VIN requests and build a matrix of fast-moving items.

Frequently asked questions

Can an exact cost be given in advance?

Only after defining the activity, structure, number of visas, premises and additional permits. An accurate estimate is prepared for each specific project.

Why can't the decision be based solely on price?

A cheap package may not be acceptable to the bank, landlord, employees or actual operations. You should compare the total cost of ownership and any restrictions.
