Our business opportunity has an easy learning curve, very modest capital investment, and provides a service that ALL automobile dealerships can use. We supply the proprietary software, marketing training, sets of the sticker stock used in daily business activities and a high level of support for our valued franchisees. We have formed an agreement with The Polk Company to acquire accurate information about the vehicles our franchisees service. The Polk Company is an exceptional source of information as they are in the business to collect and archive data. Polk acquires data directly from the auto manufacturers themselves as well as from state agencies responsible for licensing automobiles. Unlike some of our competitors who build their own data with limited resources, our relationship with The Polk Company allows us to tap the unlimited resources of a multi-million dollar corporation that most of the nations insurance companies rely on for their vehicle information. By presenting information about used vehicles using good advertising techniques coupled with the accuracy of Polk data, we feel that the 21st Century AutoAlliance franchise system offers the best option of alternative advertising for automobile dealerships today.
