We help you set up a real, compliant car dealership in the U.S. — without you guessing your way through state rules, paperwork, or systems.
U.S. investors and E-2 investors use Leios to set up: the company (LLC + EIN), dealer license application support, plates & registration, access to dealer-only auctions, and simple systems for daily operations and accounting.
Typical setup: 30–45 business days, depending on how fast you send documents and on state processing times. Licenses are issued by the state. Any legal or tax advice comes from your attorney and CPA — not from Leios.

Think of Leios as your “dealership build team.” You bring the capital and the decision-making. We help you set up the structure, paperwork, systems, and support so you can open and operate with confidence.
We help you gather and organize what the state wants to see for your dealer license application. You submit it; the state reviews and decides.
Once your license is active, we help you get your AuctionACCESS profile set up so you can buy inventory from dealer-only auctions.
Guidance on location rules, signage, titles, plates, insurance, bond, and simple internal policies so your dealership looks and feels compliant from day one.
Help forming your LLC and obtaining your EIN, plus clean, simple documents you can use with banks, landlords, and partners.
For Standard & Ultimate: we help you pick and set up a dealer management system and show you how to keep your numbers clean, so your CPA and attorney can read them easily.
For E-2 investors, we coordinate with a vetted U.S. immigration attorney and a U.S. CPA focused on international tax. They handle law and taxes. We make sure the business side is clear and well-documented.
Leios does not issue licenses or give legal or tax advice. Licenses are issued only by state agencies. Legal and tax advice comes directly from your attorney and CPA.
Here is the basic flow most clients follow. Exact timing depends on how fast you send documents and how fast the state processes your license.
We sign a service agreement, take your first payment, and collect your basic information and goals (U.S. only or E-2, state preference, timeline, budget).
We help with LLC and EIN, work on your dealer location strategy, and, if you’re an E-2 investor, introduce you to a vetted immigration attorney and CPA who focus on dealership investors.
We set up your dealer software, simple accounting workflows, and core compliance pieces (location, records, basic policies) so the business is ready for your license application.
We assemble an organized package that you or your attorney submit to the state. You’ll know exactly what was sent and why it matters.
Once the state issues your license, we help turn everything on: AuctionACCESS, plates, day-to-day workflows, and clean reporting. For E-2 clients, we provide a neat package your attorney can attach to your petition.
No one can guarantee a license or a visa. The state and the U.S. government always make those decisions. Our role is to build a real, understandable business that fits what they expect to see.
For E-2 investors, your dealership has to look and operate like a real business — not just a paper company. We help you build that: structure, systems, basic numbers, and clean documentation your attorney can use.
The Ultimate package is designed for this: $25,000 plus optional inventory support. Your immigration attorney and CPA handle all legal and tax work. We make the business side simple and clear.
Three levels of support. Many U.S. investors start with Basic or Standard. Most E-2 investors choose Ultimate so their attorney and CPA have everything they need.

State fees, taxes, insurance, bonds, legal fees, CPA fees, and other third-party costs are separate. We do not give legal, tax, or immigration advice. Those services are always provided directly by your licensed attorney and CPA.
We typically start in Week 1 after you sign a contract and pay your first installment. We can break payments into milestones so it’s clear what you’re paying for at each step.
We accept bank transfers and other supported methods. Exact details are written into your contract before you pay.
