  2. Today’s Discussion Topic: Financing Alternatives

  3. Financing Alternatives There are three general sources of business financing: Suppliers: Credit limits and end-user payment alternatives Banks/Finance Companies: Inventory financing and end-user financing Shareholders: Personal guarantees and equity infusion As revenue grows there will be more assets such as inventory, accounts receivable, and equipment. Resellers need to plan how additional assets will be financed.

  4. Financing Sources Pie Chart While there is no magic formula to say exactly in what proportion each source of financing should be, what is known is that successful companies need all three sources to grow. 4

  5. Financing Source: Suppliers • Maximize Credit Limits with Terms by: • Sharing Financial Statements • Having good industry payment record • Not having any reported liens, suits, or judgments • Disclosing education and experience of owners and operators • Providing a personal guaranty or security interest • Providing a Stand By Letter of Credit (“SLOC”) • Communication

  6. Financing Source: End User Direct Payment • Assign your accounts receivable to Tech Data via an Assignment of Proceeds (“AOP”). • Tech Data provides the required wording for Reseller to put on their letterhead. • Reseller signs the document as does the end-user. • Provides end-user agreement to pay Tech Data directly. • Great alternative for a specific large transactions or on an ongoing basis. • Subject to the end-user being credit qualified.

Financing Source: End User Lease Financing • Reseller identifies end-user to leasing company. • Leasing company approves and documents the deal. • Leasing company pays Reseller and Tech Data. • Tech Data Leasing Partners: • CIT, HP Financial Services, IBM Global Finance, and others with prior approval.

  8. Financing Source: Additional Shareholder Investment • Vendors compare the size of their investment to yours. • They like to see that you have “skin in the game”. • Credit managers like to see profits retained in the business. • Quantify sources of additional shareholder investment. • Every Fortune 500 company sought outside investors to enable their growth.

  9. Financing Source: Bank Line Financing • Needed to meet overhead obligations. • Sometimes needed to close the gap between accounts payable and accounts receivable. • Keeps creditor happy at a minimal expense. • Is used by every Fortune 500 company. • Financing from Tech Data’s financial partners has advantages.

  10. Financing Source: Tech Data Financial Partners • Reseller applies and obtains a credit line with a Tech Data finance partner. • Reseller places order as usual with Tech Data. • Tech Data obtains electronic authorization from the finance partner and ships the order. • Finance partner pays Tech Data. • Reseller pays the finance partner. • Oh yes, this financing is FREE.
