Don't miss out - apply today to offer finance this summer
Posted on in Cycles News
Time is running out to make sure you're offering your customers the option to buy on finance this summer - the busiest time of year for finance sales.
Typically the best month of the year for sales via the Ride it away scheme thanks to the good weather, June is the perfect time to start offering your customers finance.
In June 2015 sales via the Ride it away scheme were the highest ever, with almost £8million worth of sales in that one month alone. And with finance applications already up this year - 20% vs 2015 - this summer looks set to be the biggest yet!
With the application process to join the scheme taking from just two weeks, apply today to be up and running just in time to take advantage of the busiest time of year. There is no set up fee and no need for FCA authorisation (formerly Consumer Credit Licence).
There are currently over 900 retailers offering finance through ActSmart's retail finance scheme, accounting for £70m of new sales every year.
Ride it away is available to all cycle retailers* who benefit from:
- Free V12 set-up worth £495
- Personal support throughout the application and FCA authorisation process
- No minimum finance turnover requirement
- Payment issued by V12 same day and in your bank within 4 days
- National promotion on the Ride it away consumer website
- Access to FCA compliant POS material
- Access to web banners for use on your own website
*ACT members only. Subject to terms and conditions, including but not limited to, a minimum 12 month trading history, the business declaring a positive net worth and the search results of credit reference agencies
