Partners, Introducers, Vendors & Supplier Finance FAQs
Can I offer finance to my customers?
Yes. If your customers might like to finance a purchase from you, whether that be for an expensive individual item or package of equipment, Portman can help. We can advise your customers how much finance might cost, which makes it easier for them to buy from you. As well as increased sales conversion, we may offer a referral fee for any finance taken out buy customers that reach Portman through a partner.
Do you offer referral fees?
We may offer referral fees to a supplier who uses Portman as their finance partner. The exact fee will be based on many things including the potential volume of enquiries and value of finance being provided.
Is supplier finance considered a loan?
Supplier finance is an efficient way for business owners to obtain short-term credit without having to take out a loan. Supply chain finance is not considered to be a loan as it is often quicker to arrange and requires fewer criteria for acceptance.
What are the benefits of having a finance partner such as Portman?
If your business sells high value items, your customers may not always have enough free cash to buy outright or may prefer not tie up the cash they do have in an asset. Using finance allows businesses to get what they need now then pay back the finance as their asset generates revenue. Having Portman as your finance partner simply allows more customers to buy from you. In return, you may generate additional income by receiving a share of the finance amount. We can also provide marketing material to help you promote the partnership, as well as contact our customer database on your behalf to promote your business.
