In the November issue of Master Builder, we heard how TradePoint is working to ensure the new service for tradesmen lives up to expectation. This month, we’re taking a look at their new credit offer, as TradePoint’s Ian Herrett explains:
The winter months are hard on us all. Cars and central heating systems resent the cold weather and work just generally becomes that little bit harder as we fight our way through icy roads and brave the elements.
And it’s not just the weather that proves challenging, as we all know this time of year is also a struggle when it comes to juggling the books to balance the increase in demand for material, together with the age old financial drain of Christmas. Which is where the new credit account from TradePoint comes in, offering a simple and efficient way of managing your business accounts just when you need it most.
MONEY TALKS
Along with no annual fee, flexible credit limits, extra cards for employees and monthly statements as you’d expect, the bonus that we know will really appeal to tradesmen at this cash-strapped time of year is the offer of up to 60 days free credit.
Even getting your hands on your own TradePoint account is simple, with applications accepted online at www.trade.co.uk in your local TradePoint or Screwfix trade counter. What’s more, the account card has been helpfully designed to be accepted in B&Q, Screwfix, Plumbfix and Electricfix as well as TradePoint – leaving no stone unturned for the busy tradesman.
FESTIVE FLEXIBILITY
It’s not just your finances TradePoint will be offering support with this winter; that TradePoint offers long opening hours 7.00am to 9.00pm in the week and is open at the weekend, is welcome news for the time-poor faced with last minute callouts and the Great British weather!
And there’s no worse a callout than one during the festive period, when supplies are needed to respond to a customer’s emergency, even if the turkey’s on the table!
But it’s no surprise that TradePoint comes to the rescue yet again, open throughout the holiday season except for Christmas Day itself, meaning we can help the trade attend to those frantic festive call outs.
So with both the finances and stock concerns sorted, it’s just the gift for the missus you’ll have to worry about!
