Partner Finance

A powerful solution to help you convert more sales.

What is partner finance?

Our partner finance programs enable you to offer flexible finance options to your clients and customers. You may also hear some companies refer to similar solutions by the names “vendor finance” or “supplier finance”.

The beauty of our partner finance solutions is that they are hassle free; there is no cost to you, and no need to invest time and effort into learning about finance or how you can sell it. By becoming a part of our introducer program, you can leave that burden on our finance experts shoulders allowing you to continue focusing on the core needs of your business.

Who can apply as a partner?

Primarily we work with business-to-business (B2B) equipment manufacturers, suppliers or resellers throughout the UK, or businesses offering professional services like Consultants, Finance Directors and Accountants.

It doesn’t matter whether you sell plant machinery, offer CNC machinery, provide refits or fit outs for shops, offices or restaurants, or whether you provide B2B consultancy services, we can help you convert more leads to sales.

We have a wealth of experience across a range of industries, including:

  • How does partner finance work?

    In simple terms, when a customer is interested in buying from you but indicates that cost or funding is an issue which could cost you the sale, you introduce them to ourselves.

  • How does partner finance work?

    We work with them to identify a suitable financial solution to help them complete the purchase and take care of all of the paperwork in conjunction with the lender.

  • How does partner finance work?

    The lender then releases the funds to you for the purchase, and you provide the customer with the goods or services.

  • How does partner finance work?

    From this point on, the customer makes payments directly to the lender according to the agreed payment schedule until the balance has been paid in full.
