IT’S TIME
TO BUILD YOUR
LEGACY…
We Were Born from the Upward Automotive Career Journey.
Years before he founded DCG Capital, Dave Cantin was a dealer principal of one of the largest car dealerships in the world. But he didn’t start there. Dave, too, had to climb the ladder of management until having the opportunity to create his legacy.
Your story is inevitably different. You have your own unique journey and set of struggles, yet you share the same fundamental drive and passion for success.
Dave took a leap of faith when he sold his stake in his dealership. He went on to broker the second biggest automotive acquisition in history, and only then founded DCG Capital.
“When I was a GM, every failure was my fault yet the successes were always the owners, and I get that. But I also knew I needed to step up and change things. I needed to use my knowledge, my talents to build my legacy, and that’s exactly what I did.” – Dave Cantin, CEO, Dave Cantin Group.
THE PROCESS
FROM GENERAL MANAGER TO DEALERSHIP OWNER
If you’re a GM or other dealership leader looking for a chance at your first dealership, you may have realized they’re not always easy to find. Many brokers, lenders, dealers, and manufacturers only work with established auto groups and dealership owners.
DCG Capital is different. We’ve developed all the right relationships, with lenders, manufacturers, and dealerships for sale to help you in the acquisition of your first dealership.
We’ll leverage our connections to get you the best possible loan, find the right dealership to buy, and get you approved as a franchise owner by the manufacturer.
CFO Services – After we seal the deal on your dealership, DCG Capital will have your back through the full term of your loan, with guidance on finances and other responsibilities of a dealership owner, while you fully learn the ropes.
Backed by the best industry knowledge and expertise, you’ll be able to make better decisions and pay your loan off faster, to more quickly establish the financial independence of your business.
