HOW IT WORKS
How vendor financing works, in eight steps
From the first quote with a payment on it to the money in your account. Every step after the introduction is ours.
THE EIGHT STEPS
From quote to funding
-
01
Offer fast financing
Put a monthly payment beside the cash price on every proposal. It is the single change that sells the most equipment.
-
02
The ACG digital application
Your customer applies through a link we give you, or through a private-label page on your own site carrying your logo.
-
03
The customer applies in about two minutes
One page: business, owner, equipment and cost. Financial statements are not required on most applications.
-
04
A decision in hours
Most decisions come back the same business day, typically within 24 hours. Your account executive tells you and the customer.
-
05
Status without chasing
Your account executive tells you where every application stands, from the decision through its funding date. You do not have to chase a deal.
-
06
Documents signed on a phone
The customer signs electronically and confirms delivery the same way. Nobody prints, scans or drives anything over.
-
07
You are paid at funding
We pay you directly and in full once the customer confirms the equipment. Collecting the monthly payments is our job.
-
08
Sell more equipment
The customer has the equipment, you have the money, and the next quote goes out with a payment on it too.
QUESTIONS
What vendors ask about the process
Do I need to be trained on leasing to take part?
No. Your part is to quote a monthly payment beside the cash price and to introduce the customer to us. Your ACG account executive handles the financing conversation and every question the customer has about it.
Who works out the monthly payment for my quote?
We do. Send the equipment cost to your account executive for a payment on any deal, or use the payment calculator on this site for a quick estimate while the customer is in front of you.
What does the customer sign?
A short application first, then the lease or finance agreement once approved. Both are signed electronically, on a phone or a computer, so the customer does not have to come back to your counter to finish.
How do I get started?
Complete the vendor account form. An ACG vendor account executive contacts you, sets up your account and, if you want one, your private-label application page. The first deal can go through the same week.
