Sawgrass Finance Helps Global Automotive Logistics Player Serve Brand-Making Customer
March 3, 2026
FLORIDA - Sawgrass Finance, the Ponte Vedra-based asset-based lender, today announced a multi-million-dollar lending solution crafted for a Florida based Global Automotive Logistics provider in the automotive industry.
When Horizon Auto Logistics landed a lucrative contract with an international luxury automaker, they knew they had to meet the moment.
Their finance leaders approached Sawgrass in search of creative solutions for working capital in order to steward a brand-making opportunity.
Though familiar with the concept, the company had never unlocked financing by leveraging their accounts receivable. It turned out to be precisely what was needed to manage this opportunity.
As Tye Slappey, the company’s Head of Finance explained, “The Sawgrass team listened carefully, then secured the best terms and pricing for our working capital through accounts receivable lending. They provided expert guidance throughout the process and introduced us to a local bank partner for financing.”
As Sawgrass Finance Founder Marius Dobren explained, “Accounts receivable is an undeniable sign of a borrower’s financial strength. Yet few lenders have a box they can check that acknowledges it – especially this early.” Through Sawgrass Finance’s creativity and connections, Horizon Auto Logistics was able to secure the flexible working capital they needed to prove their worth to an existing customer in a new market.
