    Industry Analysis & Industry Trends

    Industry Report - Starting a New Business Chapter

    Barriers to entry into the Trailer and Caravan Dealers industry are moderate, largely due to the initial cost of purchasing stock and establishing the premises. Entrants have to have sufficient capital or access to finance to purchase initial stock, as well as pay wages and rental expenses. However, entrants may limit these financing costs by selling low-cost products, such as used caravans and motorhomes. During times of economic uncertainty, finance can be difficult to access as lending institutions become more risk-averse. This can make a lack of cashflow a significant barrier to entry. New entrants face further barriers in the form of regulation, as all dealers are required to be licensed by the various state and territory governments.
