Has this ever happened to you? You’re trucking along on a project and gearing up for the next phase, and everything grinds to a halt. You can’t get your client to get you your next stage of funding. Now you’re stuck. Or, you have a great meeting with a client. You’re ready to book the job, but you find out they can’t get the funding. These scenarios can be a thing of the past when you offer contractor financing. Are you lost on where to begin? That’s not a problem. Let’s fix that with the ultimate guide to offering financing.
Why would I offer financing?
First things first, why would you even want to offer financing? It may seem like an extra task for you with all the other things you have on your plate, but there are a ton of reasons why you might want to. For one thing, contractor financing gives you a leg up on your competition. When you’re meeting with clients who want to get started on their next home improvement project, there’s nothing that’ll turn potential customers into new clients faster than you saying, “I can offer you financing.” If your potential clients are considering any other contractor, financing is absolutely going to be the thing that sets you apart from the competition.
You instantly become the one-stop shop. Your customers won’t need to seek financing elsewhere, so there will be no need for reaching out to anyone else for them. By providing financing, you’ve just upped the convenience factor, and we know that clients like convenience. You can take care of everything your client needs when you offer contractor financing, and it’s a really great way to seal the deal.

There are other advantages, too. Your clients are more likely to use your services again if they know you make the financing easy. With financing, you can work faster.
