Then you should consider this unique franchise opportunity !

Automatch is a new concept that has been developed by two very experienced motor industry specialists to actively promote and assist in the sale of used vehicles between private individuals. It does not involve the dealer network and only handles the sale of vehicles which are outside of the dealer's normal sphere of activity.

After spending two years establishing the viability and profitability of this unique concept, the Franchisor has now sold the original business to an independent operator and is looking for new franchisees for new territories.
