Top Ways AlarmCredit Can Transform Your Security Business

Security dealers face unique challenges in today’s market. Competition is fierce, customers demand flexibility, and maintaining a steady cash flow can be tricky. At AlarmCredit, we’ve developed solutions that address these issues head-on. Let’s explore how our innovative financing options can transform your security business.

1. Flexible Financing Options

Our program offers a range of financing options that cater to diverse customer needs. We provide:

• Residential financing from $800 to $10,000
• Commercial financing from $5,000 to $5 million
• Terms ranging from 24 to 60 months
• 0% APR options for end-users

These flexible options allow you to cater to a broader customer base. A homeowner might opt for a modest system with affordable monthly payments, while a large business could finance a comprehensive security setup over several years.

2. Retain Your Valuable RMR

Unlike some financing programs that require you to sell your accounts, AlarmCredit allows you to retain full ownership of your recurring monthly revenue (RMR). This feature is crucial for building long-term value in your business. You can offer attractive financing options to your customers without sacrificing your future income stream.

3. Lightning-Fast Approval and Funding

Time is money in the security business. Our program features:

• Immediate approval process
• Same-day or next-day funding
• 2-hour approvals or less for commercial financing up to $500k

This quick turnaround means you can close deals faster and start projects sooner. No more waiting days or weeks for financing approval – you can strike while the iron’s hot.

4. Soft Credit Pull

We’ve implemented a soft credit pull system for residential financing. This customer-friendly approach means your clients can explore financing options without worrying about impacts on their credit scores. It’s a small detail that can make a big difference in customer trust and willingness to proceed with a purchase.

5. No Recourse Funding

Our no-recourse policy means you’re not on the hook if a customer defaults on their payments. This feature allows you to confidently offer financing, knowing your business is protected.

6. Upselling Made Easy

With flexible financing options at your fingertips, upselling becomes much simpler. You can offer customers more comprehensive security packages, knowing they have the option to spread the cost over time. This approach increases your initial sale value and boosts your long-term RMR.

7. Competitive Edge in the Market

By offering these financing options, you set yourself apart from competitors who may only offer limited payment plans or none at all. You’re not just selling security systems; you’re providing financial solutions that make high-quality security accessible to a wider range of customers.

8. Streamlined Application Process

We’ve made the application process as simple as possible. Our user-friendly platform integrates seamlessly with your sales process, allowing you to offer financing options quickly and easily. We offer application-only financing for commercial clients up to $500k, simplifying the process for larger projects.

9. Bundle Monitoring and Equipment

We offer commercial clients the option to bundle monitoring and equipment into one payment. This feature simplifies billing for your customers and can make larger, more comprehensive security packages more attractive.

10. Automatically Increased Credit Line

For your growing commercial clients, we offer automatically increased credit lines. This feature allows you to grow with your customers, offering expanded services as their needs evolve without the hassle of reapplying for financing.

Here’s How

Let’s look at an example.  A mid-sized security dealer implements our financing program. Within six months, they can see:

• An increase in new customer acquisitions
• A reduction in customer churn
• A significant boost in their overall RMR

By offering flexible payment options, security companies can attract new customers who previously thought high-end security systems were out of reach. Moreover, existing customers are more likely to upgrade their systems, further increasing RMR.
