Minimum Equity Requirements

Investment in a John Deere dealership can be both rewarding and challenging. It requires someone with strong management skills and keen business acumen. Understanding of the retail business trade is a must; retail management experience is preferable. Other requirements include excellent people skills, a strong work ethic, and sound communication skills.

In addition, a dealer candidate should have adequate financial resources to assure successful operation of the business. The amount of capital required for consideration varies depending upon the product line. In general, minimum equity requirements are:

  • $3-5 million for a Commercial and Consumer equipment dealership
  • $5-8 million for an Agricultural equipment dealership
  • $10-30 million for a Construction & Forestry equipment dealership

Silent investors, of course, are always welcome.

If you have access to the minimum capital resources and are interested in learning more about becoming a John Deere dealer, please fill out a John Deere dealership inquiry form.
