Open-account terms put your dealers' inventory on your balance sheet and turn your credit team into their bank. A floor plan program hands both jobs to a lender.
Under a floor plan program, a lender pays your invoice when the dealer orders, and the dealer repays the lender when the unit sells or on a set schedule. You stop carrying dealer receivables and stop making credit calls on your own customers. Vero brings the lender and runs the program.
Every unit on a dealer's lot is money you haven't collected yet.
Your sales and finance teams end up deciding who gets more product.
A dealer over their limit can't take the next order, even when they could sell it.
Chasing late payments strains the relationships you're trying to grow.
Two numbers. The figures below are examples, so change them to yours.
That's the balance a floor plan program could move off your books as dealers transition. It's arithmetic only. How much a lender takes on depends on its review.
| Your net terms | Floor plan program | |
|---|---|---|
| Who carries the inventory | You | The lender |
| When you get paid | When the dealer pays | When the lender funds the order |
| Who sets dealer limits | Your credit team | The lender |
| Who follows up on late payments | You | Vero, as the program's servicer |
| What dealers work in | Your invoices and statements | One portal for funding and payoffs |
You don't have to move every dealer at once. Start where the balances hurt most.
Usually, yes. Floor plan carries interest or fees set by the lender, so the cost of carrying inventory moves from you to the dealer. But some manufacturers pay for a free-flooring period on new units to keep dealers whole.
No. A program can start with a group of dealers and grow from there.
The lender. Your team stops making those calls.
You'll usually sign a dealer program agreement with the lender, often with repurchase terms. After that, the day-to-day runs through Vero.
