Floorplan Experts Who Care About Your Success

But I was one of those people, and I would tell you from my experience that these guys do really know what they’re doing. They made it really easy to switch. They have your best interests in mind and care about your overall success and the business. I don’t often give testimonials but I’m happy to give my referrals to them because everything they’ve ever told me is 100% true."

Which Floorplan Lender Fits Your Dealership?

When it comes to floorplans — loans that allows you to buy inventory — independent dealers have two distinct choices: finance companies and banks. One of the most critical factors in a dealership's long-term success is its relationship with its floorplan provider. Jeff Widholm, President - Floorplan Financing, wrote about the differences between finance companies and banks in the May 2021 issue of Used Car Dealer Magazine. 

"Jeff Widholm and John Goodyear have made the whole process super easy and straightforward. I would not hesitate to recommend First Business Bank to anyone."
