Glazing industry finance specialist, Improveasy, has launched a ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ finance option.
Open to installers of all sizes, ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ allows installers and glazing companies the option of being able to offer flexible finance directly to the customer at the point of sale. With optional consumer deposits and 12-month payment-free periods, ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ is designed to not only meet the changing buying habits of today’s consumers but to level the playing field between installers and their national competition.
Austin Barcley, managing director of Improveasy, said: “For many years, the ‘shop local’ revolution has lagged behind in the glazing industry simply because installers couldn’t provide the flexible payment options that the big national brands can offer and that consumers ultimately desire. We are delighted to announce the launch of ‘Buy Now Pay Later’, which will undoubtedly help installers not only increase their orders but increase the value of their projects and deliver a more attractive proposition to their customers.
“When you consider 45% of homeowners are more likely to purchase if they were able to buy now and pay later, it’s an incredibly valuable opportunity that installers cannot afford to miss. 83% of consumers say retailers offering flexible ways to pay influenced their decision to purchase, so it’s a really powerful, transformational tool which can help businesses grow.”
The ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ finance package is said to be part of a range of finance solutions offered by Improveasy, including 0% interest-free finance and a range of APRs. Working with Improveasy means glazing companies do not need to be FCA approved, instead becoming an Approved Representative (AR). This allows customers to start offering finance within just 10 days either using their own branding or under the Improveasy banner.
Improveasy has launched a full range of business finance solutions including asset finance, hire purchase and new-start company loans designed.
