:: Credit Guidelines and Rates
Financial Group’s scoring model is based on historical data proven to predict a lessee’s future performance. The scoring model is specific to the industries using these types of equipment and lease financing. Often times, the Financial Group scoring model outputs a better structure than a credit score alone would predict. By following the guidelines below, you will increase your approval rate and closing rate by pre-screening deals before submission to Financial Group.
