I am looking for some advice on providing financing to my clients.  The goal is to take a lump sum order of $6,000+ and financing it into monthly payments.  This will make the purchase more palatable and hopefully attract more buyers.   

I am in the advertising industry.  The product is a mobile advertising campaign.

Thank you in advance,
Chris

Ron,
Thank you for the recommendation.  iBill seems like a great match for what I`m looking for.  I did some digging around and found a few reviews that were not positive, albeit old reviews:

Can you shed any light on this, hopefully things have improved over the years.  I`ll still be looking into this.

Thanks,
Chris

Hey Chris-

Sorry to say that I can`t. I don`t have any experience with the company other than working for them on this one project. I checked out the reviews on Amazon and at least one of them is referring to Ibill, the company that processed credit cards for adult websites (I think they`re gone now). Don`t know for sure but I don`t think this Ibill was around in 02 or 04.

I can say that my experience with the owner of the firm was good. You might want to give them a call and see what you think.

Good luck,
Ron

Hi there,

I can answer this first hand. I use ibill to manage all my lawn care customers and I run my financing thought them. What is cool about them, is that they can run credit on all your applications so you can extend credit to people with a good credit history. They also report all the payments your customer make to the big 3 creditors EQ TU and EX.

I noticed the same thing before I signed up, and found out that iBill was in Florda back in 97 and after being sold in 02 i think the new owner took it into the ground around 2006. That owner if i remember was penthouse.

Jonas took it over in 06 and started to rebrand it. I got to talk to him at a tradeshow in Bosie in Feb 09. This is what he told me and I noticed it is online somewhere.

P.S They have had as much as 40,000 of my money at any one time and I get it when I request the ACH everytime with no issues.

Hope this helps.
