Clicklease is the payment solution that says “yes.” Our innovative payment solution connects equipment vendors with small businesses through flexible, affordable payment plans. The solution’s proprietary algorithm doesn’t need to consider FICO scores for approval, empowering customers who can’t get funding otherwise. Business owners simply shop for the equipment they need on their favorite vendor websites, click to apply for Clicklease payments, complete the 4-minute application, receive instant approval, and enjoy same-day funding. Our solution is a win-win. It not only helps small businesses buy what they need to succeed, it helps equipment vendors sell what they need to grow. And when businesses grow, so do families, communities, and economies.
