- The amount invested in an initial supply of vehicle inventory depends upon the actual sales volume desired and the cost of vehicles in specific markets. Typically, franchisees will acquire floor plan financing for inventory, which encompasses this estimated range. However, if you elect to rather purchase inventory outright, Byrider Franchising Partners estimates those costs to be up to $300,000, which is not reflected in the chart above.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for the opening inventory of vehicles ranges from $75,000 to $100,000. This cost is incurred as needed and paid in lump sums to suppliers.
The FDD notes that franchisees typically acquire floor plan financing for their vehicle inventory, which this estimated range encompasses. However, should a franchisee choose to purchase the inventory outright, Byrider estimates those costs could reach up to $300,000, though this higher figure is not reflected in the initial investment chart. This suggests that the initial investment can vary significantly based on the franchisee's financing choices and sales volume desires.
Prospective franchisees should consider their financing options and desired sales volume when planning their initial investment. The decision to lease or purchase inventory will significantly impact the initial capital required. It is important to discuss these factors with Byrider and financial advisors to determine the best approach for their specific circumstances.
