Automotive Retail Advisory

At Begbies Traynor Group we have gathered together an experienced team with a proven track record of working with businesses in the automotive retail sector, helping dealerships navigate challenging times – through periods of changing regulations, consumer tastes, supply and demand fluctuations, Brexit preparedness and, most recently, the disruption from Covid-19. Whether you are aiming to improve cash flow and working capital, seeking operational efficiencies or exit planning advice, our team can provide the expertise.

Key Challenges

The automotive retail sector is undergoing significant transformation, which is positive, but also giving rise to a number of challenges, such as:

Technological advancement,
sustainability and consumer
behaviour
Covid-19, supply chains
and geopolitical risks
• The ongoing conversion
to electric vehicles has
transformed the personal
car to align with political
and corporate carbon
neutral objectives
• Covid-19 and the distinct
energy supply crises
continue to create
shortages in electricity,
critical components and
skilled labour
• These technological
advancements have
strengthened the
relationship between
manufacturer and
consumer, disrupting
traditional car dealerships
• Shortages have been
compounded by an
increase in personal car
ownership and a change in
travel patterns
• Customer behaviour
change has increased
electrical vehicle adoption
at the expense of fuel
vehicles (notably diesel)
• For example, a decrease
in car-sharing and public
transportation means that
demand is high, so both
new and used vehicle
inventory is in short supply

Optimising Performance

Through our team of automotive experts, we can offer
car dealerships:

An initial Strategic Financial and Operational Review. This in-depth review takes a look at the current situation, forecasts and potential outcomes. This allows our specialists to advise on suitable options and solutions to improve overall financial and operational performance.

Financial advice – this typically focuses on managing cash flow and business restructuring. The team can also assist with refinancing or raising new finance, restructuring debt, simplifying group structures, accelerated sales or managing (planning) exits.

Operational advice – reviewing internal sales and marketing structures, routes to market (including online strategies), supply chain management, managing demand, and staff acquisition and retention strategies.
