If you’re looking for inspiration, look no further than independent dealers. Driven by passion, determination, and resourcefulness, independent dealers have a clear vision for their dealerships’ future. They’re dreamers, in every sense of the word.
Still, sometimes dealers need a little help making that dream come true. Navigating financing, inventory management, and staying ahead of the competition all require a floor plan provider who understands your business needs. That’s why at AFC, we’ve spent nearly 40 years empowering independent dealers–-just like you—to bring those business dreams to life.
Let’s take a closer look at three tangible ways AFC supports your dealership’s growth and success.*
Flexible floorplans tailored for your dealership
At AFC, we provide dealer floorplan solutions specifically designed to empower independent dealers. Our floor plans are more than just loans; they’re strategic tools that provide the financial freedom you need to grow your business.
- Increased Purchasing Power. With AFC, you can more confidently bid on a wider range of vehicles knowing you have the financial backing to buy more of the inventory you need.
- Improved Cash Flow. Free up your working capital by using AFC to finance your inventory, allowing you to invest in other areas of your business.
- Financial Flexibility. Dealers can increase their inventory during peak sales periods and reduce it during slower periods without straining their finances.
- Growth and Expansion. Dealers looking to grow their business or open additional locations can use a floorplan to scale their operations without needing substantial upfront capital.
Our commitment to independent dealers goes beyond just providing a revolving door line of credit. We offer a suite of value-added services designed to support your dealership’s success, including:
- Floor Non-Auction Purchases. Finance vehicles purchased outside of auctions, giving you greater inventory sourcing flexibility, including lien holder payoffs.
- Accepted at most auctions. Finance vehicles from one of AFC’s 1,300+ approved auctions across the US and Canada.
