Motor dealer survey

Motor dealer survey

The franchised dealer sector might be battered and bruised but it’s also in a resilient mood and getting on with business, according to the Baker Tilly/Motor Trader Retailing in the Recession Survey.

With manufacturers demanding larger volumes and higher retail standards, the motor sector is under ever-increasing pressure.

Customers have more choice as a result of changes to block exemption rules, new manufacturers breaking into the market and an increasing use of the internet for research.
 
Baker Tilly's specialists advise more than 150 different motor dealers nationally and we have a dedicated team working to drive this sector forward.
Our expert support can help you improve your profits by reviewing your business strategy and managing risk more effectively.
 
In addition to tax and VAT services, we offer specialist advice on VAT refund claims and capital allowances advice on both new and existing buildings. We also host a series of motor seminars and profit improvement sessions.
 
These profit improvement sessions help you to establish your goals and create a strategic plan to help you reach your targets.
