Why inventory finance?

Inventory finance is designed around a suite of financial solutions to enable manufacturers, distributors and their dealer or reseller networks to better manage cashflow and product availability. Our solutions include inventory financing, floor plan financing, dealer stock financing, demonstrator financing, accounts receivable financing, channel finance, and trade flow finance.

Many businesses, large and small, are currently missing out on the advantages of inventory finance. These solutions are created to provide each part of the distribution chain with the ability to grow, manage risk, improve liquidity, and enhance visibility of their product.

For manufacturers, this can help deliver added value to a dealer relationship by providing a financial mechanism to improve their dealers’ business liquidity and profitability. With us, manufacturers also benefit from enhanced liquidity and profitability through the design of customized programmes structured to generate prompt, regular payment for shipped assets, thereby providing improved and consistent cash flow.

Our financing solutions also help company balance sheets by transferring the risk of dealer failure, improving compliance control, and the ongoing management of accounts receivable to inventory finance experts. Working capital can be used more productively to extend the range and sale of products available, and to exploit the opportunities of seasonal sales.

Using an inventory financing capability will also ensure consistent reporting and control through our dedicated Customer OnLine Management System (COMS) – a secure e-commerce platform. This enables better-quality and more streamlined reporting information, on a global, pan-European or local basis for both manufacturers and dealers.

Through inventory finance, manufacturers can provide customers with a wide range of equipment to choose from, combat seasonal impact on their bottom line, manage transactions with dealers and distributors without adding to overheads, and invest more cash back into their business.
