Customer financing programs for a general contractor in Lapeer County

You finish walking a customer in Lapeer County through the plan, and they like everything about it. Then they see the total, go quiet and say they need to think about it, which you both know usually means no.

With a financing program in place, the next conversation sounds different. You show the total and a monthly option side by side, the customer applies on their phone in a few minutes and usually hears back from the lender before you have packed up.

Your customers can choose the work they actually need instead of the cheapest patch, and you get paid by the lender in full instead of chasing installments. Your whole team offers it the same way every time, so it no longer depends on who remembers.

Customer financing programs explained for general contractors in Lapeer County

How customer financing works for a general contractor

You sign up as a merchant with a consumer lender. Your customer applies, the lender decides, and if approved the lender pays you for the work and collects from the customer over time. You are paid in full without carrying the loan yourself.

Merchant fees and promotional plans

Plans like deferred interest or reduced-rate promotions appeal to customers, and the merchant usually pays a fee to offer them. The more generous the promo, the higher the fee tends to be. Knowing your fee on each plan and building it into pricing keeps financing from quietly eating your margin.

Patient financing for practices

Practices often offer patient financing for treatment that insurance does not fully cover. Presenting it alongside the treatment plan, not as an afterthought, helps patients choose care based on need rather than the total. The front desk needs a simple, consistent way to bring it up.

How to offer financing without sounding pushy

Show every price with a monthly option next to it, the same way, for every customer. Then let them decide. When it is just part of how you present options, it reads as information, not a sales tactic, and your team stops guessing who might need it.

What drives the cost of a customer financing program

Lender fees depend on the plans you offer, your industry and your volume. Our work to set up, price and train is quoted as a project or a monthly fee after a short call. Rebuild Detroit is not a lender, and the financing itself comes from licensed consumer lenders.

Customer financing programs questions from Lapeer County general contractors

7 questions

How many general contractors are in Lapeer County?
783 in the Rebuild Detroit business index: 85 with a website, 78 with Google reviews (1,500 reviews in all).
What is the average Google rating of Lapeer County general contractors?
4.4 stars, averaged over the 78 with reviews. Half of them have 8 reviews or fewer.
Is Rebuild Detroit a lender?
No. Financing comes from licensed consumer lenders. We help you choose programs, set them up, price around the fees and train your team to offer them.
What does it cost to offer financing?
Lenders charge merchants fees that depend on the plan, your industry and your volume, and some plans cost the merchant more than others. Our setup and training is quoted as a fixed project or monthly fee after a short call.
Will offering financing make me look desperate?
Not when it is presented the same way to every customer. Many people appreciate seeing a monthly option, and it lets them choose the right work instead of the cheapest.
What if my customer gets declined?
Many programs have a second-look lender for applicants the first lender does not approve. We set that up where it fits, and your team learns how to handle a decline kindly.
Are there rules for advertising financing?
Yes. Consumer credit advertising has rules about how payments and terms are shown, and lenders have their own guidelines on top. We write offer copy that follows them and have your lender sign off on it.
