INDUSTRY ‘FINALLY WAKING UP TO FINANCE’ AT FIT
» » FOLLOWING ON FROM A VERY BUSY
and successful 12 months for the business,
Improveasy will head to the FIT Show with
the spotlight firmly on its popular installer
finance packages.
The team will be on-hand to demonstrate
its in-demand ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ finance
options and the benefits it can have for
installers nationwide, plus its full range of
products including Asset Finance, Finance
Leasing and New-Start Company Loans to
fabricators, manufacturers and businesses
of all sizes.
“It seems after many years of lagging
behind other industries and sectors, the
glass and glazing industry is finally waking
up to finance and its potential to grow
a business,” comments Austin Barcley,
Managing Director of Improveasy. “For
installers, it’s simply a matter of urgency as
homeowners change their buying habits and
prioritise installers who offer multiple ways
to pay. For those, we offer flexible finance
options including 0% APR and our new ‘Buy
Now Pay Later’ package. For fabricators and
other businesses, finance not only provides
an extra incentive for customers to join their
network but makes large investments such
as machinery, new vehicles or commercial
equipment far easier.”

“There’s a growing awareness that timber is
an exceptional modern fenestration material,
at least on a par with uPVC and aluminium.
But in many respects, timber exceeds them
– there isn’t a greener, more sustainable
material available.
“All in all, it offers an outstanding balance
of looks, performance and versatility, making
it a fantastic way of appealing to affluent
end-users. There’s never been a better time
to start offering timber, as we look forward to
explaining to hundreds of installers from all
across the nation at the FIT Show 2019.”
