Independent inventory financing

Westlake Flooring Services

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

Best fit: Independent dealers (including special finance stores) looking for nationwide availability and fast funding/titling support.

Watch for: Eligibility rules by unit type and aging; curtailment policies; documentation requirements.

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.

Common reasons floorplans get tightened

Issue	What it triggers	Dealer control
Title delays	Audit exceptions, reduced advances	Title desk workflow + document SLAs
Aging creep	Curtailments, higher carry cost	Aging caps + weekly aged-inventory review
Inconsistent reporting	Audit escalation	Daily book updates + reconciliation
Repeated late payoffs	Line reductions	Payoff cadence tied to sold log
