While there are significant differences between retail and wholesale business models, both can benefit from inventory financing. However, wholesale dealers need to use caution when selecting a wholesale auto financing provider because of these differences.
Wholesalers are looking to buy inventory at auction for the best prices possible that way they can sell those vehicles to dealerships and make a profit. In addition to finding good deals at auction, selling inventory quickly is key to generating revenue for wholesale dealers. Any funding sources used must be able to keep up with the speed that wholesalers turn inventory. Beyond just keeping up with the speed of business, wholesalers also look for lenders with competitive term plans, and an exceptional team committed to client success.

Wholesaling dealers need to be able to quickly and simply see information about the vehicles on their floor plan. To do so, they will need to find a partner with a highly intuitive account management platform.

Title Management

With NextGear Capital, wholesaling dealers don’t often have to deal with a physical title and can pay an additional fee to get title work done on their behalf. However, if a title is ever needed they can be quickly sent and are almost always available to view through a dealer’s account.
