How to get a used car dealer business loan
Preparation
Step 1: Research companies that specialize in used car dealer business loans. Decide which programs meet your dealership’s needs for the amount, credit, time in business and what you need the funds for.
Prepare your documents
Step 2: Tip: Prep your information a few days before you need the funding. Amounts over $50,000 need more time to be approved and closed. Car lots selling more than $15,000 per month have a better chance of getting an offer.
Look closely at the cash flow in your bank statements. Explain low sales months, overdrafts, nsf’s and low balance periods upfront when you first apply. This can help get approvals, better offers and help avoid declines.
Settle on Top Companies
Step 3: Contact your preferred companies and ask about their approval criteria.
Tip: Ask if you can be prequalified. Some funders can either prequalify through an online application or a representative by calling in.
Complete your application
Step 4: Apply with the programs the most aggressively solicit used car dealers while matching your needs. Complete an application for funding and provide all supporting documentation needed.
Review Approvals
Step 5: After approval, closely look at the terms and closing requirements. Get all of your closing documentation together and submit to complete the transaction.
The lender will usually make a final merchant call to you. They will verify that the owner completed the closing documents and is ready to start the transaction. Confirm this and receive the wired funds into your account.
Loans to used car dealers are considered restricted loans by almost all lenders. We have programs for below 500 credit scores.
