Funding facility to support Black Horse Retail Partners

Wholesale Funding is provided to Black Horse Retail Partners to help them stock their forecourts with new or used vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, caravans and light commercial vehicles.

These vehicles are stocked for the purpose to sell onto customers.

 

How it works:

Funding is secured against individual vehicles or on a floating charge over the dealer’s existing vehicle stock.
The dealer then reimburses Black Horse with the original funds financed, following sale of the vehicle.
