seasonal financing
Explanation:
ASM = Avance sur marchandises

L’avance sur marchandises est un crédit destiné aux entreprises industrielles ou commerciales qui exercent une activité saisonnière et qui, donc, sont tenues d’avoir en début de compagne une quantité de marchandises stockées qui sera écoulé progressivement sur une période plus ou moins longue. Ce crédit peut atteindre 80% du prix de revient de la marchandise.

i.e. this is a special financing arrangement for companies whose business is very seasonal.
