Automotive Aftermarket & Performance Parts Financing
Aftermarket and performance parts manufacturers build inventory ahead of seasonal demand and sell through jobbers, big-box retailers, and warehouse distributors who pay on extended terms and demand chargebacks and returns allowances. PO financing for production runs, factoring against retailer and distributor receivables, and working capital for seasonal inventory buildup keep the line moving.
You're building inventory months ahead of racing season or the spring parts rush, then selling it through jobbers, warehouse distributors, or a big-box retailer program that pays net-60 and holds back for chargebacks and returns.
That seasonal build-then-sell cycle eats cash fast, and a standard bank line rarely moves quick enough for a PO tied to a seasonal reset at a national retailer, which is where PO financing and working capital lines do the real work.
We work with lenders who understand retailer chargeback programs, SEMA-market seasonality, and why a receivable from a major auto parts retailer or warehouse distributor is solid credit even with a returns allowance built in.

What underwriters will actually ask for
Automotive Aftermarket & Performance Parts files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.
Aged accounts receivable by retailer, jobber, and distributor
Receivables from major auto parts retailers and warehouse distributors underwrite cleanly given their commercial credit strength, net of typical chargeback and returns reserves.
Retailer chargeback and returns allowance history
Lenders want historical data on defective returns, markdown allowances, and co-op advertising chargebacks to net down receivable value accurately.
Seasonal sales pattern and inventory build schedule
A breakdown of how sales concentrate around racing season, spring, or holiday gift-buying periods helps size a working capital facility to your actual cash cycle.
Trailing 12-month financials and SKU count by product line
Interim P&L, balance sheet, and SKU count across performance and standard replacement lines, since performance parts often carry different margin and return profiles.
Raw material and component supplier list for PO financing
For PO financing on a retailer reset order, lenders need your component and packaging supplier terms and delivery timelines tied to the confirmed purchase order.
Product liability insurance coverage
Given the performance and safety-related nature of many aftermarket parts, underwriters want confirmation of adequate product liability coverage in place.
