andyhodson Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 This is something I've often looked into but never really got very far. We would like to offer customers credit, for installations, monitoring etc but would need a suitable credit agency I assume. Does anyone else do it and if so, who do you use? Ta Andy.

Guest RICHL Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Last time i looked at this (some years) ago you needed a licence if you offer credit over 4 months, and this licence cost about £70 then. What about offering payment by direct debit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, ideally it would be to pay for monitoring which would be more useful over 10 months or so I would imagine. Manufacturer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian.cant Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Monthly direct debit is easy enough, its not exactly credit. Have you considered lease? Im not sure if an alarm system would be worthwhile to the lease companies but its worth asking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova-Security Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Leasing companies generally want a lease of £1000 or more, direct debit is a hard one due to you have to be able to stand any returns with the bank, standing order is straight forward to do and setup but you have to be carful the customer does not cancel early. www.nova-security.co.uk www.nsiapproved.co.uk No PMs please unless i know you or you are using this board with your proper name.
