How do I get an auto dealer license in Pennsylvania?
To become a licensed dealer in Pennsylvania, you'll need to: obtain a surety bond, secure a physical lot location, pass a background check, register your LLC ($125), and apply through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). Requirements vary for new vs. used car dealers.
What banking features do auto dealers in Pennsylvania need?
Auto dealers need banks that understand floor plan financing, high-value inventory transactions, and title processing. Look for business checking with high transaction limits, ACH capabilities for auction purchases, and AI bookkeeping that tracks per-vehicle profitability.
