Offering your customers an attractive alternative to paying with cash is a powerful way to unlock the true sales potential of your organisation. Turning a large upfront outlay into small, regular payments makes it easy for your customers to say ‘yes’.
In fact, research shows that typically a B2B customer spends 30% more when able to spread the cost by choosing a finance option rather than using capital. With payments received in full, usually with 72 hours of the finance being made live, you will give a significant boost to your cashflow and eliminate any debt risk.
