How do I get financing for my customers?

Question

I own/operate a genral contracting business and I want to be able to offer my customers the option of financing. How do I get started and where can I find financing co.'s or banks that would work with me.

Answer 1

My dad used to own a business that sold big ticket items. He worked with a local credit union to finance his customers. He would have them fill out the applications at his store, then fax or take them to the credit union. Any bank could do it, but credit unions usually seem to want you business more.
