The unique Auto Retail Network Index aggregates a host of metrics covering both the cost to run a franchise; its profitability, investment levels and how easy it is to do business with the NSC, has been updated for the 2020 report. This scoring system builds on the areas added last year which include a percentage of franchises that have changed ownership in each brand, approved used schemes by brand and a listing of which groups hold the largest proportion of each brand’s network.

The report also includes details of new car sales points and authorised repairers by carmaker, giving a complete picture of the current state of UK franchise networks. It also provides forecasts for the coming 12 months, with details of network opportunities and projected vehicle throughput per retailer. Additionally, the report contains exclusive analysis of new car warranty and service plans – plus background and analysis of the European market and a vital contacts section.

Franchising Report 2020 data has been sourced directly from carmakers, other definitive industry sources and personally checked by Auto Retail Network researchers.
