How It Works.
Our financing process is simple and joining our network is easy.
- Become a Dealer. You can offer your customers financing through Foundation Finance by filling out our simple dealer application.
- Submit App. As a dealer, you can submit a financing application digitally with Driver’s License scanning, submit by email, or call our expert credit analysts. Foundation Finance also provides you with a credit application link you can send customers to fill out themselves.
- Get Credit Decision. Once we receive your customer’s application, it will either be instantly approved (low-risk credit profiles) or assessed by one of our credit specialists. You can then offer approved customers rates and terms based on their creditworthiness and risk factors.
- Complete Contract Documents. Should they accept their financing offer, you and your customer sign and submit the documents.
- Verification & Funding. When you complete the job, submit the completion certificate and we’ll contact your customer to verify the work is done and disburse the funds to you via ACH deposit. Then, according to their terms and promotions, your customers make easy monthly payments to us instead of paying a large lump sum up front.
Close More Sales.
Many homeowners are not aware of financing options when they start thinking about their next home improvement project. If you work your financing options into your sales pitch, website and marketing materials, you can reinforce the affordability of their project and increase your close rate.
Upsell with Financing.
Financing gives your customers more buying power, affording them the ability to update their home with no compromises. When estimating a project cost, show both the total project cost and the estimated monthly cost. When broken down into monthly payments, the cost of upgrades becomes very affordable.
