Seal the deal with Vendor Finance

If your business sells valuable assets like equipment or machinery B2B, high price points can be a roadblock for your customers. Not having the cash to hand may mean the difference between a sale and a “Thanks but No Thanks.”

Offering vendor finance can open the lid on more B2B asset sales for your business.

Vendor finance: Benefits for your business

Offering vendor finance gives you the opportunity to:

  • Manage your sales cycle – retain your customer for the life of the finance period and ensure repeat business
  • Provide tools to assist with customer engagement
  • Convert more opportunities to sales by providing greater flexibility for your customers
  • Recognise revenue on tangible assets at the time of sale
  • Remove risk from your balance sheet
  • Manage upgrades and customer engagement throughout the finance period

Vendor Finance: Customer benefits

With the help of vendor finance, your customers will:

  • Access the equipment they need while conserving cash reserves
  • Have the option to finance 100% of the cost of the product they purchase
  • Have easier budgeting through fixed monthly payments
  • Be able to bundle transactions (equipment and soft costs*)
  • Ensure the technology they use remains current and best-in-market
  • Have potential accounting and tax advantages
    * Soft cost financing is reviewed on a transactional basis

To make things easier for you and your customers, Bigstone Finance offers vendor finance solutions. This empowers your business to offer fast and accessible finance options, creating a win/win for all involved.

Vendor finance for asset purchases: How it works

If you’re selling an asset worth more than $10,000, once you are set up with Bigstone Finance, you have the option to connect your B2B clients with a vendor finance option.

Once your customers have approval (they will need to have been in operation for at least two years, plus meet some other criteria), the funds will arrive directly in your account.  Your customer can choose the finance type, terms and optional residual amount based on the type of asset they have purchased.
