Private Label Funding

The success of technology businesses is contingent upon creating better ways to process and network information. Companies with an edge in technological innovation may decide to focus on that strength, while outsourcing non-core business activities, such as credit processing, bill presentment and collections.

Commercial Distribution Finance's (CDF's) private label financing programs are customized to the unique needs of each customer, and may include programs and services such as distribution financing, accounts receivable financing, credit and collection services, and specialized electronic commerce tools. Based on a customer's needs, CDF will provide dedicated staff, ranging from single account executives to national networks of CDF employees, committed to the private label customer.

Case History

Thanks to the continued market demand for its innovative, leading edge software programs and upgrades, Software Manufacturer Q* is growing at an exponential rate. The company was experiencing positive cash flow, due in part to a strong IPO and excellent cash management by its accounting team, but is now faced with the prospect of making significant investments in infrastructure and staff to support the next round of growth. In exploring other alternatives, Q contacted CDF and looked at our private label finance solutions. CDF suggested a customized private label financing program, integrating accounts receivable financing, credit and collections management, and EDI invoicing using Q's staff and CDF systems.

Q was able to reduce the size of its administrative team, focus its capital resources on areas providing high rates of return, and improve the overall level of service it provides to its customers.
