dmClub dealership levels, fees and admin
There are three levels of dealership:
- Classic (the starter level)
- Pro (more serious,)
- Wholesale (serious, able to earn commission from subdealers)
Dealers receive a varying percentage of ValueAdd, depending on their dealership level and on how much business they are doing each month. The types of commission you can earn also vary depending on your dealership level. For example, if you're a Classic dealer you pocket 40% of the total ValueAdd (profit) on every signup, number fee and initial rent. If you're a Wholesaler, you get up to 60% of the ValueAdd on everything a Classic or Pro dealer would earn, plus the opportunity to earn commission on your subdealers' takings.
How do the dealership levels compare?
Here's an overview of the percentage rates of commission available at different dealership levels.
Signing up as a Classic dealer is free , with no hidden fees. To gain the higher levels of commission and full range of earning opportunities, there's an initial upgrade fee and a small annual subscription fee. You can see the details below.

How do you calculate the percentage of ValueAdd I earn?
If you're a Classic dealer, you earn 40% commission across the board (see the table above). Pro and Wholesale dealers can also earn higher commission percentages, depending on how much ValueAdd they are making per month.
Here's a breakdown:
| Band | From | To | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
A | £0 | £125 | 40% |
B | £125 | £650 | 45% |
C | £650 | £3,000 | 50% |
D | £3,000 | £25,000 | 55% |
E | £25,000 | no limit | 60% |
So if you're making between £650 and £3,000 in total ValueAdd every month you'll get between 45% and 50% of that, paid incrementally.
For example, Dealer A makes £1767.76 in total paid ValueAdd in a single month. He's a Pro dealer, and his commission percentage is Band C (between £650 and £3,000 in ValueAdd) that month. So he's entitled to 47.8% of that total pot of ValueAdd, and pockets £845.13.
