Is the RFC a separate legal entity from the dealership?
Does the RFC meet all state licensing requirements?
Does the RFC maintain proper business licenses?
Does the RFC comply with title and lien holder laws?
Does the RFC have adequate capital to purchase the notes?
Does the RFC have its own address and operate from separate facilities?
Does the RFC maintain its own books separate from the dealership?
Does the RFC have its own phone number?
Does the RFC have its own employees?
Does the RFC compensate the employees directly?
Does the RFC pay its own expenses?
Does the RFC maintain its own bank accounts separate from the dealership?


Operation:
Does the lien holder on the finance contract change from the dealer to the RFC?
Does the dealership notify the customer that the finance contracts have been sold?
Does the RFC pay the dealership for the contracts at the time of purchase?
Does the RFC purchase contracts from unrelated parties?
Does the RFC have written contracts with the dealership?
If so, do the agreements state how the discount rates are determined?
Does the discount rate approximate the actual loss experience?
Are the financial contracts non-recourse?
Does the RFC handle repossessions?
Does the dealership sell any finance contracts to any unrelated finance companies?
Does the RFC report income on a pro-rata basis?
Did the profit reported on the initial sale of the vehicle exceed the loss on the sale of the finance company?
Does the RFC have a business purpose?
Did the RFC investigate items such as the borrower’s credit history, length of the note, age of the vehicle, and payment history prior to determining the value of the note?

Do you have a RFC and if so, is it properly formed and properly operated?
