Finance for your customers

How does it work?

Do you offer products and/or services to other organisations? When you offer your customers the option to spread the cost of their purchase over time rather than paying in an upfront lump sum you add a powerful sales tool to your belt.

Of course, in addition to enabling customers to get what they need without short-term budget constraints while keeping cash in the bank, finance also unlocks some big benefits for you.

Here we explain how offering finance to your customers can benefit your organisation and how it would work.

The process of offering finance to your customers...

1. Present finance as an option to your customers

Using the Bluestone portal you can generate an instant finance quote for your customer, including how much their finance payments would be, likely interest rates, and the repayment period.

We can help you to explain the pros and cons of finance to your customers, as well as any potential tax savings they may unlock either through speaking with them directly or through co-branded marketing collateral, social media assets and more. For more information, visit our become a Bluestone partner page.

2. Apply for finance via the Bluestone portal

Submit your customer's application directly via the Bluestone portal. Once we have received all the necessary information and supporting documentation, the application will be processed.

3. Track the progress of the application

In some cases you will receive an instant decision, but if not you will be able to track the progress and detail of every customer application in your Bluestone portal dashboard.

4. Formal offer and signing of documents

Once the application has been verified and approved the customer will receive a formal offer letter. When the customers signs their documents, their funding is secured.

5. You receive full payment

The pay out will then be requested and you should receive full payment within 72 hours.
