Financement des stocks/^pprovisionnements par le fournisseur


Explanation:
La technique des "floor plan" est courante de la part, par exemple, des fabricants américains d'automobiles. Ce sont des financements - crédits fournisseurs - consentis à leurs concessionnaires. Pourquoi "floor" parce que cela concerne le matériel qui reste sur le "floor" en attendant d'être vendu.

Bien sûr, il faut lire \"approvisionnements\" par le fourisseur

ATTENTION \"flooring\" est basé sur le stock détenu, ce qui n\'est pas le cas du \"crédit fournisseur\" vocable plus générique. Je vous apporte cette précision à toutes fins utiles!...
