Slate Milk's Triple-Digit Growth with Rolling Funding
Glidecoat partnered with Clearco to purchase larger inventory volumes, improve margins, and accelerate growth without straining cash flow during their busiest season.
“Clearco gives me the ability to purchase inventory in much higher volumes, which helps secure better pricing. This benefit easily covers the cost of Clearco funding the invoice”

President, Glidecoat
The Challenge
Increasing Inventory Without Draining Cash Flow
For Glidecoat, inventory planning is critical to meeting seasonal demand for their premium motor vehicle and boat surface care products. While larger purchase orders unlock better supplier pricing, these also create pressure on working capital and reduced flexibility elsewhere in the business.
Paul Westhorpe, President of Glidecoat, needed a way to increase inventory purchases without absorbing the full financial impact upfront.
The Solution
Invoice Funding for Large Purchase Orders
Paul turned to Clearco’s Invoice Funding to finance large inventory purchases ahead of peak season. This allows him to double or triple the amount of inventory they’re able to order, without having to pay for it all upfront.
The Results
Stock Up For Peak Season Without Sacrificing Growth
- 75% growth over a six-month period
Clearco helped Paul transform inventory purchasing into a competitive advantage. Over a six-month period, Glidecoat achieved 75% growth while using Clearco’s Invoice Funding to support bigger inventory purchases.
Most importantly, Paul no longer has to choose between purchasing enough inventory and maintaining healthy cash flow. The company can confidently stock up for peak season, while preserving the flexibility needed to continue growing.
