How to Offer Finance for Home Golf Simulators

Why Offer Finance for Home Golf Simulators?

Home golf simulators are a significant investment, often costing several thousand pounds. Offering finance to your customers can:

• Increase sales conversions by lowering the up-front cost barrier.
• Attract wider audiences who may not have immediate access to large amounts of disposable income.
• Differentiate your business from competitors who don’t offer finance.

“Retail finance can turn browsing customers into buyers—especially for premium purchases like golf simulators.”

Understanding Retail Finance: The Basics

Retail finance allows customers to split the cost of a product into manageable monthly payments. As a home golf simulator retailer, you can partner with a finance broker like Kandoo to facilitate these transactions legally and efficiently.

Typical Finance Options Offered:

• 0% Interest (Interest-Free Credit)
• Interest-Bearing Credit (spread payments with a fixed APR)
• Buy Now, Pay Later

Key Point: The right finance products can make a £5,000 golf simulator feel as attainable as a new TV.

Steps to Start Offering Finance

1. Choose a Retail Finance Partner
   Work with a reputable broker (e.g., Kandoo) to access a panel of lenders and handle compliance.
2. Complete FCA Approval
   Retailers must be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or operate under a broker's licence.
3. Integrate Finance With Your Checkout
   Add a finance calculator to your website, display monthly payment options, and train sales staff to present finance in-store.
4. Market Your Finance Offer
   Highlight 'Finance Available' across your marketing, online and offline.

Legal and Regulatory Essentials

• FCA regulation: All finance agreements are regulated and customers must be treated fairly.
• Marketing rules: Accurate, clear, and non-misleading finance adverts are essential.
• Transparency: Full disclosure of APR, repayment period, total repayable, and any fees before agreements are signed.

"Compliance is not a choice—offering finance means playing by the rules."

Best Practices: Maximising Conversion and Customer Satisfaction

Do:

• Clearly display available finance options at every customer touchpoint
• Offer multiple finance terms (e.g., 12, 24, 36 months)
• Make the application process seamless with digital forms
• Train staff to explain finance in simple, non-technical language

Don’t:

• Hide important information in the small print
• Over-complicate the application or approval journey

Example Scenario

Sarah wants a home golf simulator costing £4,000. With 0% finance over 24 months, she’ll pay just £166.67 per month. This makes her dream setup affordable now—not years down the line.
