Breaking free: How ARG’s Rent To Buy solution transformed Jeffrey’s entrepreneurial journey

Background

Jeffrey, a determined entrepreneur with a young family, found himself at a crossroads in his career after five years in a stifling office job.

Unhappy with the lack of freedom and autonomy, and irritated by a fixed wage regardless of how much he worked, Jeffrey yearned for a change. He knew that being his own boss would give him independence but, more than that, it would give him the opportunity to reap the rewards of his hard work.

However, he faced a setback when the traditional finance companies he approached failed to provide the support he needed and instead, created extra financial issues for him. It was only through ARG’s Rent To Buy program that Jeffrey found the solution to kickstart his courier franchise business.

Contrasting traditional financing with ARG

Jeffrey initially tried to get a loan for the van he needed, but his frustration with traditional finance companies quickly grew through their drawn-out and impersonal processes.

When he approached a conventional lender for a loan to purchase the van, weeks passed with little communication, leaving Jeffrey uncertain and anxious about getting his business off the ground. What made things worse was that the response he finally received was a blunt “No!” accompanied by the devastating blow of a damaged credit score from the financing attempt.

In stark contrast, his encounter with ARG was the opposite. From his initial conversation with Bruce, a senior ARG BDM, Jeffrey felt a genuine sense of understanding and support.

Bruce didn’t just see Jeffery as numbers on a page. Instead, he took the time to listen to Jeffrey’s story, empathise with his frustrations, and outline a clear path forward. Unlike the traditional finance company, ARG’s approach was compassionate, transparent, and efficient.

“The finance company didn’t communicate well with us at all. They wouldn’t give us an answer for over three weeks and when they finally did it was ‘no’. And my credit score got stuffed up in the process. That’s why I couldn’t believe it when Bruce had me in that same van that I had been looking at for ages, in under two weeks. Everything went so fast and smooth. He’s made such an incredible difference to my business and my family.”

The speedy solution that drove Jeffrey’s business forward

One of the most standout aspects of Jeffrey’s experience with ARG was the speed with which he got the van he desired. After facing weeks of delays and uncertainty with traditional finance companies, Jeffrey was amazed by how quickly ARG moved to fulfil his needs. 

Within two weeks of his initial conversation with ARG, Jeffrey found himself behind the wheel of the vehicle essential to starting his business. 

This rapid turnaround not only exceeded his expectations but also allowed him to seize immediate opportunities and start generating income sooner than he had expected. 

With ARG’s efficient and transparent process, Jeffrey was able to hit the ground running and turn his entrepreneurial vision into a reality in record time.
