Increase retail sales with no cost to the business by providing a lease-to-own option to your shoppers. If they are low on funds and don’t have access to traditional credit, there is another solution available to help them pay for the product on the spot. In the past lay-away programs would be the only other common option available to retail business owners trying to increase sales for their cash-strapped patrons.
Personal Lease Options now available allow for a new revenue stream even better than lay-away as the business owner has no additional cost of goods sold and they get funded right away. It might sound too good to be true but it is not. Once you sign up with Joseph Stepke, aka Joe The Finance Guy, every day you have access to credit for your shoppers, to increase your retail sales. Are you wondering what kind of retail sales are eligible for this type of financing? There are a large host of retail sales that qualify including tires, wheels, electronics, appliances, jewelry, furniture, and more. Learn more on the home page of Joe The Finance Guy under the In Retail heading.
Traditional financing
Let’s unpack what traditional financing is: it is defined as a loan or a line of credit secured through a financial institution under conventional terms based on the “four C” namely: character, collateral, capital, and capacity.
Take a look at the table below and see the comparison made of the advantages and disadvantages of traditional financing.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
Low-interest rate: the longer the loan terms the lower the interest rate. The lender reaps the benefits. | Cash Flow: major drawback is that it affects the business’s cash flow, the higher the loan the more you commit to paying it back each month. This will affect the profit margin. |
Build Credit: the scope to building your credit score is longer | Collateral risk: collateral or security is demanded. Often this will be in the form of a property could be your home or the business itself. |
Tax benefit: some long-term loans have the benefit for a tax exemption | Limited eligibility criteria: those that qualify are only between the ages of 21-58. |
Credit score: when EMI’S are missed or delayed, the credit score goes down drastically. This in hindsight affects future loan sanctions. |
All of this is good but nowhere does it mention having support or bringing in an influx of clients after this credit has been given. Leaving you as a business owner at risk.
Customer Financing with Joe The Finance Guy
Joe The Finance Guy often emphasizes the alternative funding he provides. When you go through his website and YouTube videos you get to learn that his company is the one that will take on the risk for retailers by providing the money they are borrowing, to complete the sale transaction with the retailer upfront. You as a partner (business owner) will gain a new client (customer) sell them the goods, and earn your profit while the customer also enjoys their new product.
Another great benefit is that the offered funding option has no fee to the business owner, so you earn more than if they were to utilize a credit card to make the purchase. There is transparency and this helps the partnership.
The funding is designated for customers who do not have the cash, don’t qualify for the traditional credit but still want to purchase the product. There are different requirements depending on which business the customer wants to purchase from. As described in 6 Reasons Everyone NEEDS to Get The Damn Winter Tires, the qualifications for a loan are pretty simple, including:
- 3 Months of recurring income
- 90 days with a checking account
- Earn over $1000 a month
