This IDC study provides a preliminary sizing analysis of the potential market for credit facilities (revolvers and floorplanning) for major United States–based resellers with revenue of $25 million to $1 billion in 2006.

"The role of value-added resellers (VARs) continues to grow in importance as IT markets, distribution, and the related leasing and financing market continue to mature. IT leasing and financing providers' relentless search for underserved market segments has caused many to recognize that VARs, like most companies in growing industries, need a wide range of financial services. To this end, IDC provides this preliminary market sizing for revolving credit lines and inventory financing programs for United States–based VARs with revenue of $25 million to $1 billion in 2006." — Joseph Pucciarelli, program director, Technology Financing and Management Strategies
