3 Steps to Becoming an Eagle Carports Dealer
1. Create a Legal Business Entity
Before partnering with Eagle Carports, you'll need to establish your business legally in the United States. This process involves:
- Choosing a business structure (LLC, Corporation, or Sole Proprietorship)
- Registering your business with state authorities
- Obtaining an EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS
- Securing necessary local business licenses and permits
- Setting up a business bank account
2. Submit a Dealer Application
Eagle Carports maintains high standards for its dealer network. The application process requires detailed information about your business operations.
Essential Company Details
When you begin your application, we'll first ask for your company name, primary contact person, and basic contact information. Your company name must match your legal business registration documents, as this will be used on all official paperwork and contracts. The contact person you designate will become your business's primary representative, responsible for managing the dealer account and receiving critical updates about products, pricing, and policies.
Your email address and phone number are more than just contact points – they're your lifeline to success with Eagle Carports. We'll use these to send order confirmations, provide updates on deliveries, and grant access to our exclusive dealer portal. Quick communication is essential in our industry, and having reliable contact information ensures you can respond promptly to customer inquiries and opportunities.
Location and Territory Considerations
Your business location plays a crucial role in your success as an Eagle Carports dealer. We carefully review address information to establish exclusive territories that protect our dealers from oversaturation.

This territorial protection is one way we ensure our dealers can build strong, profitable businesses.
Business Experience and Operations
We believe experience matters, which is why we ask about your years in business. This information helps us understand your market knowledge and stability, which in turn influences the support and credit terms we can offer. The type of dealership you request shapes our partnership – whether you're looking to make Eagle Carports your primary focus or add our products to complement your existing business.
When specifying your business type, be detailed about your current operations. Whether you're running a portable shed store, an auto detailing shop, or a construction company, this information helps us tailor our training programs and identify valuable cross-selling opportunities for your business.
Industry Connections and Experience
Your history with other manufacturers and dealers provides valuable insight into your industry experience. We ask about current and past representation to understand your familiarity with dealer relationships and to ensure there are no conflicts of interest. This track record also demonstrates your ability to maintain successful partnerships in our industry.
Digital Presence and Marketing Capability
In today's market, your online presence is crucial. We review your Facebook page and business website to understand how you present yourself to customers and engage with your community. A strong online presence indicates your commitment to modern marketing techniques and your ability to reach potential customers effectively.
We're particularly interested in whether you use online estimator subscriptions, as this shows your commitment to professional operations and helps us plan any necessary system integrations. This technology familiarity can significantly impact your success as an Eagle Carports dealer.
