Auction-adjacent inventory financing access

Manheim Financial Services (with NextGear)

Dealer-facing profile: typical fit, operational expectations, and official resources.

Best fit: Dealers sourcing heavily through Manheim lanes that want tighter lane-to-floorplan execution and integrated tooling.

Watch for: Lane dependency and auction concentration risk; operational readiness for integrated funding flows.

What dealers should verify before applying

Eligible inventory types (retail, wholesale, salvage, specialty)
Advance rate rules (by unit type, age, mileage, and source)
Curtailment schedule and grace periods
Audit frequency and audit method (on-site, virtual, self-audit)
Title policy and exception handling
Fee schedule (interest, curtailments, late fees, audit fees if any)

Dealer tip: Floorplan performance is judged by net availability (availability after curtailments + audit exceptions), not the headline line amount.
