    First of all you need a place and then need to get it inspected by the FD...., need pictures of the establishment, Have to have insurance + get dealer tags, Have to go to a seminar, have to have the place you want to put the dealeship approved by the county, Have to fill out alot pf paperwork. Its so much shit bro.... Thats just a little of what you have to do.

    I got mine about 3 years ago and they make you jump through hoops left and right and it is only getting harder to do. You will need...

    Insurance
    $20,000 Bond (maybe $35,000 now, not sure if that law made it through this year)
    Lot with an office reserved for car sales only(many counties require 1 acre)
    signs
    pictures
    Attend a siminar
    Business license for the county you live in
    Fingerprint cards for background check

    I'm sure I forgot a thing or 2 but you get the idea. If any of the paperwork isn't perfect, they will send it back to you and you will be delayed another month or 2.

    I didn't think it was easy, someone told me you can just get one down here. You have to do a bunch of shit to get one in PA too.

    Just to add to the list of stuff you need, they dont allow you to share office space with another company. It has to have a separate entrance and cannot have ANY common area with another buisness. Im sure theres some loopholes, but thats the facts. Also, you have to get your buisness lot approved by zoning in the county you want to establish in. And if they think theres too many similar buisnesses in that area, they you may be screwed. I heard Cobb is pretty hard to start in. I took the required seminar about 3-4 months ago... and yea, its not easy. And it is getting harder and harder in georgia.
