Channel cash flow challenges may also drive more M&A
CHICAGO, IL --- GE Capital's Commercial Distribution Finance (CDF) business saw an increase of more than 10 percent in financing volume in the information technology (IT) channel in 2012, and it expects that trend to continue this year. This is, in part, because of wider adoption of manufacturer-approved financing programs that offer inventory working capital within the IT industry, both domestically and internationally, easing cash flow challenges for value-added resellers (VARs), distributors and system integrators.
