A dealership on FlyHigh is more than a single listing. It is a business profile that can hold branding, contact routes, team access, inventory, premium placement settings, and employee requests. Once published, the dealership becomes the owner context for listings that should be managed by a company rather than one individual account.
This guide explains the current dealership workflow in practical terms: what each section does, what to prepare, how employee access works, how premium visibility affects the dealership, and what to check before publishing.
Before You Start
Prepare the dealership information before creating the draft. The profile should look complete enough for buyers to trust it and structured enough for the team to manage listings without confusion.
- Business identity: dealership name, trading name if different, company location, website, phone number, and public email route.
- Brand assets: logo, hero or cover image, dealership photos, and any supporting imagery that communicates credibility.
- Profile copy: a clear description of what the dealership sells, the markets it serves, and why buyers should contact it.
- Team plan: decide who should be an administrator, who should manage inventory, who can edit content, and who only needs view access.
- Inventory plan: prepare the first listings that should be connected to the dealership once the profile is approved.
Create The Dealership Draft
Start by creating the dealership draft from the seller dashboard. If there is already an unfinished dealership draft, resume it or delete it before starting again. That keeps ownership, review history, and team permissions attached to one clean record.
The draft remains private while you work through the setup. Use this stage to confirm you are creating a dealership profile rather than an individual listing. A dealership profile should represent the business itself, not a single aircraft or a one-off sale.

Add Business And Contact Details
The business details section controls how the dealership appears publicly and how buyers understand who they are contacting. Complete it carefully, because this information can be reused across dealership pages, linked listings, enquiry flows, and management tools.
- Dealership name: use the buyer-facing name that should appear on cards, pages, and linked inventory.
- Location: provide the main operating location or service region. This helps buyers understand geography before enquiring.
- Website and phone: use stable official contact details, not temporary personal details.
- Public description: describe the dealership’s specialisms, history, inventory focus, and services in plain language.
- Contact routing: make sure enquiries go to the correct inbox or team member before the dealership is published.
For best results, keep the public description specific. Buyers should know whether the dealership focuses on aircraft sales, brokerage, parts, maintenance, acquisition support, finance introductions, storage, or a combination of services.

Add Branding, Media, And Profile Presentation
Dealership pages benefit from stronger presentation than ordinary account profiles. Use the media section to make the dealership look real, current, and professionally managed.
- Logo: upload a clean logo with enough contrast to work on white and light backgrounds.
- Cover image: choose a wide image that can sit behind the dealership identity without hiding important details.
- Gallery images: show premises, aircraft, facilities, team activity, or inventory context where appropriate.
- Document discipline: avoid uploading private business documents unless the flow explicitly asks for them.
Branding should support trust, not clutter the page. Clear photos, consistent cropping, and a complete profile are usually more valuable than decorative marketing graphics.
Invite Employees And Manage Access Requests
Employee requests are one of the most important dealership features. A dealership can be managed by multiple people, but access should be deliberate. Invite the right people, assign the right permissions, and review incoming requests before allowing someone to manage inventory or business details.
- Administrators: should be limited to people who can manage dealership settings, staff access, and final decisions.
- Managers: can usually coordinate inventory and operational workflows without owning the entire dealership profile.
- Editors: are useful for preparing listing copy, media, and draft changes.
- View-only users: can inspect dealership information without changing published content.
When an employee request arrives, approve it only if the person belongs to the business and needs that level of access. Reject unknown or unnecessary requests. Keeping the team clean protects published inventory, buyer enquiries, and dealership reputation.

Connect Listings To The Dealership
Once the dealership exists, listings can be created under the dealership context instead of under an individual seller profile. This is useful when multiple team members manage inventory, when listings should inherit dealership branding, or when buyers should see a consistent business identity across several listings.
- Use dealership ownership for business inventory: aircraft, parts, properties, and services that belong to the dealership should be attached to it.
- Keep contact routing consistent: make sure listing enquiries go to the team or inbox that can respond quickly.
- Review previews: dealership-backed listings should still look like normal listings, but with the correct seller identity and contact context.
- Manage lifecycle centrally: edits, sold status, expiry, and archive actions are easier when inventory belongs to the dealership profile.
Configure Visibility And Premium Placement
Premium placement helps a dealership stand out where the site supports enhanced visibility. It should be used intentionally: a complete profile with strong inventory gets more value from premium placement than an unfinished profile with thin information.
- Profile quality first: complete business details, media, contact routes, and team setup before prioritising placement.
- Inventory readiness: premium visibility works best when the dealership has current listings or a clear reason for buyers to enquire.
- Buyer routing: confirm that premium traffic is routed to the correct dealership contact path.
- Ongoing management: review placement and profile quality regularly as inventory changes.
Premium placement is not a substitute for a complete dealership profile. It amplifies the profile; it does not fix missing details.
Preview And Publish The Dealership
Before publishing, check the dealership as a buyer would see it. The preview should clearly show the dealership name, branding, location, description, contact route, employee-managed credibility, and any connected inventory or dealership benefits.
- Check visual consistency: logo, cover image, and profile text should feel like one dealership brand.
- Check contact accuracy: phone, email, website, and routing should be correct before publishing.
- Check team access: remove unnecessary pending requests and confirm the correct admins are in place.
- Check linked inventory: listings attached to the dealership should display the correct seller identity and preview styling.

After Publishing
After the dealership is published, it becomes an operational profile. Keep it maintained the same way you would maintain inventory. Update team access when staff changes, keep contact details current, refresh media when branding changes, and review connected listings so buyers always see current information.
- Use the management area: edit dealership details, review lifecycle status, and monitor team requests.
- Keep inventory current: archive sold or unavailable listings and add new listings under the dealership when appropriate.
- Maintain response quality: route enquiries to people who can answer quickly and accurately.
- Review premium placement: adjust visibility choices as the dealership grows or inventory changes.
