Gutter protection is an important investment for homeowners. These leaf filter gutter guard products reduce the amount of time homeowners need to clean gutters, keep gutters working optimally for longer, and help customers better maintain their properties at a lower cost.
Providing your clients with monthly payment plans keeps gutter protection services affordable, helping you serve more customers and sell more. Choosing the right consumer financing company can mean the difference between losing a sale and gaining the long-term trust and loyalty of a new customer. Below, we outline how to choose the best consumer financing company for your gutter protection business and how partnering with the right firm can boost your sales, profits, and reputation.
A Frictionless Customer Experience
Consumer financing makes gutter protection possible for homeowners. Outfitting existing gutter systems is a significant expense, one that most consumers can’t cover outright. They want and need your services, and they’re relying on you to provide payment plans that empower their purchases from companies such as LeafFilter, Leafguard and MasterShield.
The foundation of a conversion-driving consumer financing program is the customer experience. Your financing partner must provide a frictionless experience that creates a seamless pathway from engagement to application to repayment.
Consumers need affordable, flexible, monthly payment plans that give them confidence while increasing their purchasing power. By providing a fast, simple, accessible, and online credit application, you reduce friction in the buyer’s journey and move your customers toward the sale. Moving customers toward the sale help them envision their gutters being protected from debris, leaves and twigs so gutters and downspouts do not clog.
UCFS offers a quick, straightforward, paperless consumer application. Sellers present a great gutter protection option and shoppers select their products and installation, then apply for consumer financing online on their phone, tablet or computer . Our online credit application takes just a few minutes to complete. Once approved, the customer eSigns their repayment agreement on their phone. UCFS’s smooth, straightforward financing approach reduces friction, streamlining your gutter protection sales.
A Near-Instant Credit Decision
Gutter protection is a long-term investment in a home. And even though these products preserve the integrity of both the gutters and the structure those gutters protect, high costs can overwhelm consumers, causing them to hesitate on the purchase or rethink their decision altogether. A fast credit notice minimizes the time between application and approval, keeping budget-conscious consumers on track to make a purchase. When shoppers are cleared for financing options, they can proceed with their gutter protection install, knowing they can pay for their systems with low monthly payments instead of a large upfront sum or by charging it to a high-interest credit card.
By providing a quick credit decision, your business can help clients afford their gutter protection systems, and you can begin installation the same day. UCFS employs a paperless application system to provide a credit decision almost immediately, helping you maintain sales momentum with customers who are confident in their ability to purchase their gutter systems.
Inclusive Approval Rates
Your consumer financing program will help you sell more only if it serves your customer base. Look for a financing partner that boasts inclusive approval rates. When financing is available and accessible to consumers who need payment flexibility, you can sell more gutter protection systems to shoppers who might otherwise give up on the purchase or never consider it in the first place.
Financing from UCFS empowers customers to choose quality gutter protection with the confidence and peace of mind that they can more easily repay their loan with low monthly payments. The affordability and flexibility afforded by financing with high approval rates allow you to cater to a broader spectrum of shoppers. The more homeowners approved for financing, the more gutter protection systems you can sell.
Full-Service Loan Management
Financing will be easier for you and your customers when one company handles it all. You need a financing partner who takes care of you and your clients from start to finish. UCFS manages the full lifecycle of the loan, facilitating cost-effective operations for your business, ensuring compliance with federal and state regulations, enhancing customer retention, and streamlining the financing process.
End-to-end loan management takes the burden of in-house financing off your shoulders, freeing you and your team to focus on the customer and growing your business.

Service, resources, and experience are all critical elements of the ideal consumer financing partner. But you cannot overlook integrity and transparency when choosing the best consumer financing for your gutter protection business. UCFS prides itself on delivering quality through all aspects of financing, including transparency at every step.
