A way around would be setting the payment timer on the system and resetting after payment collection.
Again expensive having to pay someone to collect monies each month.
Could use dial up I suppose, always assuming they could afford to keep the phone line going in-between the sky hd and each childs mobile

Think the timer idea would come unstuck in to many cases to be profitable, imo they would simply relly on the bell box deterring and even stick you on rogue traders.

the problem we had with doing rentals is that if they stopped paying they still had use of the system. reckon vodafone have that covered though..

(as #15 i mean)

Rentals? who mentioned rentals? What I was talking about was customer takes out loan from finance company, finance company send me payment & I fit the system. That's the end of my involvement, would never go down rental route. Too much C**p involved.

i did.

think you'll find leasing = rental and its big business worldwide.

however you could always go with the sharking business, like the firm you used to work for who didnt have a cons credit licence.

Type of client which need finance from co. rather than a chaper to pay back bank loan or over draft is unlikley to past the credit score

Not how he used to work but I don't mind that as long as everything is Legit & above board, if I wanted to go down the Joe the loanshark around the corner that would be easy, I went to School with him. But that's definately not the way I want to go.

Don't think you'll see anywhere i've said that, thought that was why I asked for comment in the first place & got some sensible answers. I did'nt ask for peoples sarcasm & prejudice .

Ah, thats different soz. you dont need licence as an introducer. he was only supplying leads not signing them up.

prob with doing that is the guy signing up the finance will earn far in excess of the money firm makes for fitting it.

eg

GE is a huge yankie firm with global assets, make stuff from aero engines to power station plant, medical (now even electric planes).

they started offering kit and financed customer purchases themselves. got so big on finance side they started GE capital ended up financing stuff they didnt make toboot. finance side offset losses in manufacturing during downturn times, boosted profits in good times.

dunno abt setup now (think seperate entity) but at one point far more money out of finance than the manufacturing.

[Cubit]

GE Capital are behind a lot of the store cards. 30% apr. kerrching

Also, none of the competitive concerns involved with credit cards

[hpotter]

just checked, seems still part of same.

at 30% seems silly taking risks in manufacturing.

note also car firms prefer to sell with finance than cash (boycie excl).

Thanks H, will look at some of the Finance / Lease companies & see what I can come up with. Don't mind them making the profit on Finance as long as I can refer customers to them & have more chance of getting the Installs, Gave the low values as there is a lot more of that type of work in Wales at the moment than the High value stuff. Thanks for sticking with me.

Thanks to all of you Guys who've provided advice on my query, it's appreciated. Have a few companies to look into so hopefully will find a good 1.
