How vendor finance benefits your company
Providing a leasing facility to your customers will give you several benefits:
- Increased sales: a variety of leasing solutions makes your equipment accessible to a higher number of customers and helps you sell more.
- Intelligence: Manufacturers and vendors gain more visibility on their product lifecycle, which helps them build stronger and effective customer retention strategies.
- Upsell: Thanks to a better understanding of their customers’ needs, manufacturers and vendors can design proactive and targeted solutions for equipment upgrades and replacements.
How vendor finance benefits your customers
Your customers will find your offer even more compelling:
- Capital position: a leasing contract preserves your customers’ existing resources – they can access your equipment without having to leverage the required capital upfront.
- Affordable: lease payments make your solutions more affordable, allowing your customers to afford more equipment needed to run their business.
- Improved cash-flow: regular payments allow more accurate and efficient cash-flow forecasting management.
- State-of-the-art technology: leasing removes the hassle of ownership giving your customer the flexibility to upgrade to the technology they want, when they want it.
