Anybody offer finance?

As above really does anybody offer finance?

If so who do you use to offer finance? I seem to lose quite a bit of work to a couple of local companies that offer finance so thinking of looking around at what is available.

You may be better off losing that work!
Genuine people will arrange their own finance, credit card - switch it to 0% etc ; or a loan depending on circumstance...
The furthest down this route I’ve gone is to get a machine to take card payments, this helps some people.

Why would I be better off losing that work? Should I only work for rich people? They are usually the worst to look for.

What about BG they seem to do well out of those non genuine folk.

When you need a new van do you go in and they say no you haven't got the money come back when you have as they will lose you they say this is what we can offer you to get the sale.

The world no longer works where people save up before they buy something they want it they go out and buy it, yes they may put it on card or get a loan but if it's easier people say well I will go with that then.

It would be nice to offer finance but it sounds like a major headache.

I always tell the interest free credit card is the best route do the math .
Normally they then usually come back , however i cant be bothered much with boiler changes as it involves working for a living

Have you found a way to make a living not working?

My firm offers finance through Barclays, as I don't deal with the money side of things though I couldn't tell you how it works. I know they have to perform credit checks on people so will be more admin work on your end. You could price the work, do the credit checks etc and application only to find they get declined so could be more wasted time.

Edit: just to add, I know that our customers have to fill out some kind of satisfactory competition certificate too in order for the finance company to release the funds.

Things change very rapidly. A post 2 months ago would be out of date now. So I do not see the problem in asking for an up to date opinion.

However I would of thought with your experience on here you would read the title then not bother coming on here moaning.

I did suggest the out of date thing as a vaild reason did I not, and please explain how you took my words as moaning.
I`m able to offer finance through a third party on any job over a worthwhile amount which was arranged via the accountant.

You can not arrange finance or offer them figures. Need to be qualified. You refer the customer to finance company and they offer the finance package to the customer with you potentially getting a referral fee.
