As an LED sign is a permanent asset that yields a positive
return-on-investment, it makes financial sense to most businesses.
By helping your customer acquire financing, you remove the final barrier to securing the purchase.
Studies have shown that digital signs have a substantial positive effect on a business' bottom line.
However, the out-of-pocket expense of one or two large payments may be too much for a small business to absorb.
Providing a financing option to your customers is a great way to have the business enjoy the financial benefits of a new sign immediately,
while working the cost into their monthly operating expenses.
The Benefits of Financing
-
Low Initial Out-of-Pocket Expense -
The financing option removes this barrier to sign purchase.
Sign owners can start experiencing the immediate effects of higher visibility and community outreach,
without a significant impact to their cash flow.
-
Flexible Terms -
The lender will work directly with your customer to find the right monthly payment and terms for the amount being financed.
-
Tax Deductible -
As an operating expense, the payment might be considered a deduction for tax purposes.
Have the business consult their tax professional for information regarding their unique circumstances.
-
No Risk to You -
The lending agreement is directly between the sign purchaser and the lending institution.
The purchasing amount is paid to you up-front, while the monthly payments are made to the lender.
