Should distributor finance be connected to real purchases and repayment capacity?
Distributor and Dealer Finance
Working capital between manufacturers and downstream buyers.
Purpose
Distributor finance helps dealers/distributors buy inventory from suppliers while spreading payment over an agreed financing period.
Control
Financiers may monitor approved suppliers, invoices, inventory, sales and repayment flows.
Credit support
Guarantees, credit insurance, risk sharing or supplier support may be used, but the exact structure varies widely.
Commercial reality
The financing should follow genuine distribution activity. Large limits with little evidence of inventory turnover deserve additional scrutiny.
Standards / source note: Supply-chain-finance terminology is guided by the Global Supply Chain Finance Forum definitions, while the actual legal, credit and operational structure remains transaction-specific.
Remember thisGood supply-chain finance follows real trade flows and identifiable repayment sources.
