Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 13. Discontinued Operations On November 13, 2023, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with Westlake Financial, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell substantially all of its finance receivables and all of its repossessed assets. In connection with entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Company ceased new loan originations of contracts and direct loans. On April 26, 2024, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed with an aggregate purchase price of $65.6 million, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Westlake Financial was due to make additional payments to the Company based on a percentage of cash collections received over a predetermined threshold on the loan portfolio from September 30, 2023 through the closing of the disposition. On April 26, 2024, Westlake Financial made a $40.6 million payment to the Company at the closing of the disposition. Subsequent to closing, the Company and Westlake Financial determined that Westlake Financial overpaid the Company $2.6 million. The Company accordingly recorded a $2.6 million contingent liability while negotiations took place until a settlement could be reached on the established contingent consideration. On July 25, 2024, the arrangement between the Company and Westlake regarding a reconciliation of the initial payment to Nicholas Financial, escrow, and contingent consideration was settled, which resulted in the Company paying Westlake Financial $2.4 million and waiving the right to any future contingent payments from Westlake Financial as originally stated in the Purchase Agreement. As a result of the sale of the Company's finance receivables and repossessed assets to Westlake, the Company recognized a gain of $1.7 million, calculated as the excess of the total consideration received over the carrying value of the finance receivables and repossessed assets sold to Westlake. The disposition of the finance receivables and all of its repossessed assets represents a strategic shift in the business based on the total assets, revenue, and net income of the segment sold to Westlake in comparison to the financial information of the Company as a whole. The following depicts the results of operations for the discontinued operations of the Company for the three and six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:
