alterEGO Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 wouldnt say i agree with that. i don't mean every idea, but with this one or any other idea that has clearly been done to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oxo Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 When doing the motorised gates we had a credit broker licence for this. We alse looked at personal finance. After looking at it in more depth we decided it was not worth the risk. Or the time taken chasing up late payments ect. Average installation was 3.5-4.5k,most who ordered this always had sufficient funds anyway and never even asked for credit. In fact it turned out at one stage the bigger the job the more they paid in cash!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 I posted Shire at the start Norm for B2B. Didn't know they offered credit to consumers? Specialist: I'm not having a go at you, but its an area many firms have already tried and failed at. You can't get anyone to finance it so end up doing it youself, your then chasing round for a few quid a week, they will always let you down. If you can't think of one company that is doing it, then save your time as it means its not viable. Actually mate, a firm I worked for a few years back made quite a bit of Money doing just that. Had a Finance company or Broker that he refered people to & far as I know never had a consumer credit licence.I can't ask him about though he did a runner about 2 years ago.

I would however just tell the paupers to stick it on a creditcard or cash4gold or logbook loan shop, if i was you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specialist Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 He did'nt leg it due to lack of work or getting paid for it, he just liked Casino's etc too much & got on the wrong side of some shall we say Nasty people so legged it to keep his kneecaps.

hpotter Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I back up that statement by the following: I would bet that most those houses have at least 1 mobile phone, unsubsidised the mobile phone could easily exceed £300 but yet Vodafone, Orange or whoever have managed to get one in there. If you find how to put an alarm in under a similar setup, you'll be on to something. 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oxo Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpotter Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 in dem days were fitting cpb2 unless over a tenner a month then cpf2 (when eventually came out). large deposit (to cover kit) was way we overcame. as posted credit check essential (all lot easier these days tbo, though still would not be going down that road meself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
