What Exactly Is Retail Finance?

Retail finance is a way to buy products now and pay for them over time, often through monthly instalments. Rather than paying the full price all at once, you partner with a lender (like Kandoo) when you make a purchase at a participating garden equipment retailer. Simple, right?

Why Choose Retail Finance for Your Garden Gear?

Let’s be honest: high-quality garden equipment can be an investment. Retail finance makes it easier to:

• Access better tools or machinery without saving for months
• Spread payments in a way that fits your budget
• Keep a little extra in your pocket for those surprise garden expenses
• Sometimes unlock special promotions or interest-free rates!

How the Process Works—No Complicated Jargon Here

1. Choose your equipment at a retailer who offers finance options.
2. Decide if finance suits your needs. (Retailers and brokers like Kandoo can help answer questions.)
3. Apply at checkout. You’ll fill out a simple online application, share a few details, and let the broker match you to a lender.
4. Get a decision quickly—sometimes within minutes.
5. If approved, payments begin according to your chosen plan. Enjoy your new kit sooner, without draining your savings!

A Day in the Life: Real Garden Finance

Picture this: Jack, a keen gardener from Leeds, spots a top-rated pressure washer—perfect for sprucing up his patio. The price tag is a bit steep upfront. With retail finance, he pays over 12 months, interest-free. Jack gets his sparkling patio sooner and manages his budget with less stress.

Jargon Buster: Key Words Made Simple

• Retail Finance Broker: A company (like Kandoo) that connects shoppers with lenders offering finance.
• APR: Annual Percentage Rate, the interest charged each year on the amount you borrow.
• Instalment Plan: Paying in regular chunks, usually monthly, instead of all at once.
• Soft Credit Check: A quick look at your credit history that won’t affect your credit score.
• Lender: The bank or finance company providing the money upfront for your purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Will applying for retail finance hurt my credit score?
Usually, the first check is a ‘soft’ search that won’t affect your score. Only if you proceed and are accepted will a ‘hard’ check be made.

Q: Can I pay off early?
Yes, most plans allow you to pay off early, often with no penalty. Always check the terms first.

Q: Is it only for expensive equipment?
Not at all! Finance is available for a range of garden equipment, big or small—perfect for all types of projects.
