Problem
Tradespeople and service providers often struggle to offer financing options to their customers, limiting their ability to secure larger projects or serve clients with budget constraints. Traditional financing methods can be slow, paperwork-intensive, and may not be easily integrated into the sales process. This can lead to lost business and delayed payments for completed work.
Solution
Kanda provides a platform that enables tradespeople and service businesses to offer their customers financing options directly within their quotes. The platform streamlines the application process for customers, with approvals often granted in minutes. Once the job is completed, the tradesperson receives payment within 72 hours, eliminating the need to chase payments. Kanda integrates with existing websites and requires no special technical skills to set up, allowing businesses to offer 0% APR or standard APR financing plans tailored to different project sizes.
Target Audience
Kanda primarily targets UK-based tradespeople, service providers, and online retail businesses, including electricians, plumbers, kitchen fitters, window and door installers, and other home improvement professionals.
