National Account Services: Working for You

Whether you’re considering a financing program for the first time, or re-evaluating your present sources, building a relationship with AmeriCapital’s will deliver these quantifiable results:

  1. Increase Sales Revenue – Bundling software, installation, training, consulting and post-warranty maintenance into one lease payment makes it easier for the prospect to say “yes” to your solution and for your top-line revenue curve to start climbing.
  2. Protect Margins – Our convenient QuikCalc program helps your sales team sell monthly payments which can minimize cash discounting from your list price.
  3. Retain Customer Loyalty – While cash sales frequently end the customer relationship, lease financing maintains it; reselling current customers is up to 50% more cost effective than finding new customers.
  4. Shorten the Sales Cycle – Increase your close ratio by speaking to customers’ economic decision makers and addressing their financial issues.
  5. Secure a competitive edge or level the playing field – In today’s environment great products and service aren’t enough if the competition has raised the ante with convenient financing plans
  6. Improve your cash flow – Increasing the percentage of leased/financed business relative to cash can dramatically reduce your Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) since we fund immediately upon delivery and acceptance.

Working for Your Customers

Today’s customers are better informed than ever. They expect vendors to provide flexible, cost effective solutions and sound financial alternatives. AmeriCapital takes pride in structuring plans that work for all parties, both for the initial sale and future business.

  • Leveraged Purchasing Power: leasing enables companies to acquire bigger and better solutions than they could with cash.
  • Customized Financing: includes terms from 12 to 60 months with payment plans that match cash flow or budget requirements
  • Increased Working Capital: customers’ working capital and bank credit lines remain available for inventory, advertising, expansion and emergency.
  • 100% Financing: equipment, software, service contracts and training can be bundled into one plan with little initial outlay.
  • Convenience: the convenience of vendor financing with simple documentation enables companies to move quickly on purchasing decisions.
  • Hedge Against Inflation: fixed-rate pricing protects against inflation and allows customers to buy today’s equipment with tomorrow’s dollars.
  • Tax Benefits: certain lease plans allow monthly payments to be deducted as business expenses
  • Keep Pace with Technology: customers retain access to cutting-edge equipment as technology advances and their needs change

Paying for equipment as it performs makes good business sense. So does partnering with a financing source like AmeriCapital. A company that will treat your customers with the same professionalism you would expect of your own employees.

Your Business. Your Program.

AmeriCapital can create a custom program for any equipment vendor or software publisher – one that meets your sales finance needs and emulates your company’s marketing identity. Dependent upon your needs and annual volume AmeriCapital can provide any of the following:

  • Referral Program: doing business under the name AmeriCapital. For vendors who prefer an “arms-length” relationship and the confidence that comes with recommending the best professional source.
  • Co-Branding: presenting your name on marketing materials and documents, but disclosing AmeriCapital as the lessor in customer interaction and documents
  • Private Label with Notification: goes one step further than co-branding, your relationship with AmeriCapital remains invisible to your customer until the transaction is completed and assigned to us for billing and collecting.
  • Private Label Non-Notification: keeps AmeriCapital completely invisible to your customer from start to finish, including billing and collecting. Designed for vendors who want to out-source captive financing.

Program Support

Because one size never fits all, National Account Services offers several support levels:

  • Processing: for vendors who want AmeriCapital to process and service their lease business but don’t require help training their sales team or originating transactions
  • Sales: for vendors who, in addition to transaction processing, want our sales team to build relationships with their sales force and work together to originate and close transactions
  • Management: National Account Services believes program management is a critical driver in the success of any relationship and is committed to working closely with vendor management to maximize results for all parties.
New Business Program

Starting a new business can be tough.  It takes dedication, hard work and capital to succeed in this overly-competitive world and its imperative that you lead, not follow.  Having the best equipment can help your company stay ahead of the competition by reducing overhead costs, increasing production  and improving overall customer satisfaction.  The question is how do you acquire new equipment?  Banks, credit unions and most financial institutions won’t lend any money until you have at least two years time in business.  And even after your business is established they want 20-30% down, additional collateral and or a blanket lien on the your business.

AmeriCapital can help, without all the red tape and with as little down as 2 monthly payments.  Based upon your good credit history, we can approve your “Start-up”  business for equipment purchases up to $35,000 on just a simple one page credit application.  We can approve larger amounts with a complete financial package.  Either way you can apply online to get your businesss started today!
