Motorcycle dealerships can use trade finance to fund bikes, parts and accessories before they sell, with funding decisions often reached in days.
A motorcycle dealership carries money in bikes on the floor and in a deep range of parts, clothing and accessories behind them. Machines are bought from manufacturers and importers, much of it shipped from overseas, and held ready to sell alongside the riding kit customers expect. Trade finance settles the supplier when the stock is ordered, so a dealership can keep the showroom and the parts wall stocked without its own cash carrying every machine.
Demand swings hard with the riding season, so building stock before spring matters, and a single flagship machine ties up real money. The facility repays as the bikes and the kit sell through, keeping the cost in step with the showroom. For a dealership stocking up before the season, that means ordering the machines and ranges riders will want rather than rationing the floor to available cash.
A motorcycle dealership funds bikes and a deep accessory range well before they sell. The pressures recur across the showroom:
Tando keeps funding human, so a motorcycle dealership works with a dedicated account manager who understands seasonal demand and imported stock rather than an automated platform. Most decisions come back within three to five days, sometimes within hours. The firm is NACFB accredited and places funding through FCA-regulated lenders.
A dealership stocking up before the riding season could use a facility to order the machines and accessory ranges, then repay as they sell through. Where an overseas manufacturer wants certainty before shipping, a letter of credit can sit alongside the facility, with the bank undertaking payment against agreed documents.
Direct funding for the cost of goods based on a confirmed customer order.
A globally recognised guarantee of payment to your supplier upon verification of shipping documents.
Optimising cash flow by allowing you to pay suppliers early while extending your own payment terms.
Yes. The facility pays the supplier when the machines, parts or accessories are ordered, so the showroom and parts wall stay stocked without the cost coming from your own cash. You repay as the stock sells. It lets a dealership hold the bikes and ranges riders expect rather than rationing the floor to whatever cash is currently in the business.
Yes. A good deal of machines, parts and accessories is sourced from overseas, and trade finance can fund those supplier payments. Where a manufacturer wants assurance before shipping, a letter of credit can sit alongside the facility, with the bank undertaking payment against agreed documents. Your account manager arranges the structure that suits how and where you buy, so the showroom is not held short by an upfront overseas payment.
Yes. Demand for motorcycles climbs as the riding season approaches, so building stock ahead of spring protects sales. Trade finance funds that purchase at the point of order rather than waiting for cash, then repays as the bikes and kit sell. Your account manager sizes the facility around the season rather than a flat monthly schedule.
Often, yes. Tando arranges funding for motorcycle dealerships with bad credit or a bounced payment that other brokers avoid. The stock turn and supplier terms carry more weight than a single past problem. Lending partners are FCA-regulated and look at current trading, so an earlier difficulty does not automatically rule out a workable facility for the business.
Facilities typically run from 75,000 to 500,000 pounds, sized to your stock values and turnover. Dealerships turning over 200,000 pounds or more a year are the typical fit. Because machines tie up significant cash alongside a deep parts range, the right figure tends to track the size of the stock you hold rather than a single fixed limit.
Usually within three to five days, and sometimes within hours when a supplier deadline or the start of the season is pressing. A dedicated account manager handles the case directly rather than an automated queue, so an order can be funded quickly enough to stock the showroom before riders start buying for the season.
