Question 1

What is a vendor financing program?

Accepted Answer

It lets an equipment seller offer financing at the point of sale without lending its own money. The buyer applies through a co-branded page, and a finance partner places the deal with lenders. The seller gets paid for the equipment; the lender carries the loan or lease.

Question 2

Does offering financing mean I am lending my own money?

Accepted Answer

No. You are introducing the buyer to financing, not funding it. The credit decision and the money come from the lender, so the risk does not sit on your balance sheet.

Question 3

What does the co-branded page look like?

Accepted Answer

It carries your company name in the headline and a short business financing application underneath, followed by a confirmation with a reference number. Your customer stays in your brand rather than being handed to a generic form.

Question 4

How much can my customers finance?

Accepted Answer

Typically $10,000 to $5 million for new or used equipment, with terms commonly running 24–84 months and down payments often between 0% and 20%. The figures move with credit, equipment type, and age, so confirm on the specific deal.

Question 5

How fast do decisions come back?

Accepted Answer

Many equipment lenders return a decision in 24–48 hours when the application and quote are complete. Larger or more complex files take longer, and SBA-backed structures take considerably longer.

Question 6

Do I get paid for sending deals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Vendor partners earn a 35% commission on funded transactions — 35% of what Axiant Partners earns on the deal, paid once it closes. Deals that do not fund pay nothing, and there is no upfront enrollment cost.

Question 7

Is the vendor program the same as the referral program?

Accepted Answer

The rate is the same 35% on funded transactions. The difference is structure: the vendor program gives you a co-branded application page your customers apply through, which keeps financing inside your own sale. The referral program is for partners who would rather simply send the deal over. Read the referral terms.
