Boost Sales
Offering flexible payment at the point of sale (POS) makes purchasing more accessible to customers of all demographics – whether they are looking to purchase a big-ticket item, or manage their outgoings – increasing the probability of a sale. Research conducted by Forrester confirms this, concluding that offering POS retail finance boosts sales by 17% in average.
Increase Average Purchase Value
Funding Falcon’s retail finance service makes large purchases manageable - meaning items or services previously thought by the customer to be unobtainable can be brought within reach. This naturally increases average order value, or AOV. According to Forrester, retail finance can account for a 15% increase in AOV.
Secure and Expand Customer Base
The option of Retail Finance at the point of sale significantly improves the customer experience – allowing your business to retain clients, and build loyal relationships for years to come. In addition to this, offering retail finance can make products or services accessible to previously excluded demographics, resulting in a significant growth in potential customer base.

Frequently Asked Questions
Funding Falcon are here to help answer any burning questions you may have about Retail Finance. If you can’t find the answers you’re looking for in our FAQ section, feel free to contact us.
What is Retail Finance?
Retail finance offers credit to the customer at the point of sale. Retail credit allows for the purchase of goods or services, whilst spreading repayments through instalments across select time periods, such as 6, 12, or 60 months. Whilst traditional transactional methods force the customer to seek external financing methods when buying an item using credit, retail finance allows companies to keep things internal, by offering applications and credit via partners such as Funding Falcon.
Retail finance, or retail credit, can be applied to many methods, with the most commonly used in the UK being as follows;
· 0% finance
· Bullet loans
· Buy Now, Pay Later
· Finance with Applied Interest
Retail finance is a great sales driver, as it makes retail more accessible than ever to the customer. Offering credit in this form at POS increases big ticket purchases without necessitating price alterations.
Which sectors are suitable for retail finance?
Retail finance can provide a substantial boost to sales across many sectors. It is not particularly suited to one sector more than another, and is used widely throughout the UK by businesses offering jewellery and fashion, consumer electronics, luxury goods, home improvement, electronics and appliances, medical procedures, and vehicles, just to name a few.
How can I offer credit to customers?
Companies wishing to offer their customers finance or credit can either administer loans independently, or partner with a third-party financing firm, such as Funding Falcon, to manage applications and credit on their behalf.
Offering retail finance, or retail credit at the point of sale can be the difference between a big-ticket purchase, and the loss of a customer. Once partnered with a retail finance provider, credit can be offered at the point of sale via an easy-to-use application system. This is most commonly completed on a tablet computer when offered in store.
Funding falcon usually returns a decision regarding applications within 45 seconds.
What are the benefits of offering retail finance to customers?
Retail finance has a long list of benefits for businesses of all sizes. Listed below are just a few;
· Increases in sales and average spend - on average finance can increase sales by 40% and average spend by 200%
· Extra cash flow - By giving your customers a way to pay, you are securing your sale, and driving your cash-flow upwards.
· More customers - 72% of the East of England use consumer credit as purchasing power.
Credit makes retail more accessible to customers, and is hugely beneficial to both the company, and the consumer.
Is there a minimum turnover for retail finance?
Retail finance providers often have a minimum turnover requirement for partners. This, however, is not the case with Funding Falcon. With us, there’s no minimum turnover, no minimum years of trading and no waiting list. To find out more, take a look at our membership tiers today, or get in contact – one of our finance specialists will be happy to assist you.
Will retail finance affect my business’ cash flow?
With Funding Falcon, there’s no need to worry about cash flow. Any purchases made with retail finance with us are paid in full to the customer, who will then pay the retailer or business. The customer answers to the lending company, meaning providing retail finance through funding falcon is risk-free.
Do I need FCA authorisation to provide point-of-sale finance?
All of Funding Falcon’s products are regulated, meaning an FCA licence is required in order to access our lending network. If you wish to work with us and do not have an FCA licence, your business will be registered under our licence as an IAR, or introducer appointed representative. This process will take between 10 and 20 days.
How much does it cost?
Our packages start from £900+VAT annually. Check out our pricing page for a full range of annual prices or call our offices for multi-year deals.
Do you take care of the FCA licence?
Yes, we do take care of the FCA licence for you. As well as submit documents and reports to the FCA.
What's the APR?
The APR starts from 3% and the overall result will depend on the customers own personal circumstances, credit history and affordability checks.
What's an IAR?
Your company will become an Introducer Appointed Representative (IAR) of our licence, this means that you will be authorised and regulated by the FCA, whilst you are under our membership. If and when your membership with us draws to an end, you will no longer hold any type of licence with the FCA. You must obtain an IAR with us even if you already have an existing IAR with another finance company. You will be exempt from needing this licence should you hold a consumer credit licence.
Do we need a minimal turnover/trading time?
You do not need a minimal turnover amount or trading time, we understand that each business has its own purpose and end goals therefore we do not determine which companies we work with by either of these. Call one of the team today to see if we can work with you.
Are there any additional costs?
We charge only an annual or multi year fee. Other than this we DO NOT charge any additional costs to any of our members.
Can my customers apply online?
Depending on which package you decide to go for we will provide the option to process applications online.
Do you offer 0%/Buy now pay later?
Unfortunately, this isn’t something we offer. We do have a range of financing available including; Commercial lending, unsecured, secured and guarantor lending - which is all interest bearing.
Will we have access to updates?
Indeed, you will have access to updates, via the online portal. You will be given both access and training for this as part of the final stages of your membership process.
Do you pay us or the customer?
We pay the customer directly, this is the easiest and most hassle free way to use finance! It means that you bill the customer and they pay you in a lump sum amount directly, like a cash buying customer would. There’s less hassle and worry too - as any missed payments or defaults of any kind won’t fall back on you, but instead are between the lender and the customer.
