The man's in France getting a dealership (9)
I believe the answer is:
franchise
'a dealership' is the definition.
(what's given to someone with a franchise)
'the man's in france' is the wordplay.
'the man's' becomes 'his' (belonging to a man).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'his' going into 'france' is 'FRANCHISE'.
'getting' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for franchise that I've seen before include "suffrage" , "Rights assigned by authorisation" , "permit being provided" , "Authorisation to engage in specific commercial activity" , "For citizen, right" .)
