What is equipment vendor financing? Equipment vendor financing is the process of lending money to a customer to finance equipment, vehicles, software, etc., that the vendor sells. This added convenience enables small business owners to obtain equipment without leaving the showroom or lot, as the vendor handles everything. Most vendors work with lenders specializing in equipment financing to facilitate their customers’ transactions.
How can financing help my vendor business? When you have a customer ready to make their purchase, the last thing you want is to shop around for funding. This takes time and can result in you losing the sale to a competitor. Offering in-house financing to your customers is a value-added convenience they will appreciate. In addition, it can help you sell more equipment more quickly.
Is vendor financing a good idea? Absolutely! Some of the most successful equipment vendors in the United States are the ones that offer in-house financing to their customers. Vendor financing offers more payment flexibility to your customers, particularly those who do not have a large amount of money to pay upfront. The results can be more sales, more significant profits, and happier customers.
