Actually, my dealer spoke with NewTek and I called them myself to confirm:
When they are finally ready to start shipping, they will only be shipping
directly to individual customers for about the first month. They have such
an extensive list of interested customers that they will spend their production
time simply filling those orders. After that time, when they have answered all
pre-distribution inquiries, they will begin to ship to dealers and distributors.
