Dealer ami
Welcome to the AMi homepage for dealers.
Here you can begin using what we believe are the five fundamental tools to investigating the market: dealer and manufacturer searches, analysing the financial performance of dealer groups or their network locations.
In each of the areas here are links to what are some of the most obvious searches. If you would like to begin your own, bespoke investigation please click on the dealer or manufacturer search in the site masthead.
The area to the right of this page shows you the latest updates on AMi on dealer groups and manufacturers.
Note on dealer financial data: AMi will update financial information as soon as it becomes available. Companies are obliged to file their accounts by a certain deadline – usually nine months after the year end. Not all keep to their obligation.
Companies House does issue reminders and fines offenders. Eventually Companies House may gazette a company and apply for it to be struck off. But in the meantime it is entirely up to the company.
Data in AMi is up to date, except for those companies that have filed accounts only recently. Entering this data is in progress.
AMi’s search functionality is the engine room of the site where you can begin to explore the full range of information on dealer groups and manufacturers using a one-click search function or a series of filters, refining your inquiry through more than a dozen financial criteria (turnover, operating profits, gearing etc), AM100 rank, network size and locations.
You can also create a compare list, access dealer group summaries, known as health checks, and begin saving data to your AMi account for future access.
Access to profiles of all the main car and LCV manufacturers operating in the UK is simple through the search functionality.
Use manufacturer search to find a profile of an individual company or compare several across a number of criteria, such as registrations and market share, plus dealership locations using Google map technology, including Street View.
At the heart of AMi is the detailed analysis of the top 200 UK dealer groups by turnover and all the major car and LCV manufacturers.
These profiles - or health checks - provide essential, in depth information on each company including financial KPIs, management structure and names, shareholding information, franchises held, and network location data on dealers; market share and registration information from the SMMT, senior management, regional brand penetration and senior personnel for the manufacturers. Added to this is insight into the development, standing and aspirations of the groups and manufacturers.
Here AMi provides instant access to benchmarking, acquisition and risk assessment data and reports on UK dealer groups, offering insights into their operational performance.
Benchmark your business against industry averages, identify possible acquisition targets and assess performance and risk of target dealer groups.
Mapping technology is used to display dealers’ regional strengths and weaknesses and identifies the ongoing opportunities and threats for regional and brand expansion.
AMi provides a comprehensive list of franchise opportunities through open point positioning for each manufacturer. There is also an open point enquiry service.
Automotive Management is also
available fortnightly in either
print and digital formats.
