Liberal Acceptance Criteria
Westport's range of programs allows us to accommodate the greatest possible number of a dealer's prospects. Naturally, we service conventional credits such as major corporations, government agencies, professionals and established businesses. Our secondary programs enable us to also provide options for clients who may not traditionally qualify for lease financing, such as owner-operated businesses, non-profit societies and new businesses.
Competitive Pricing
Westport employs an innovative risk-based pricing model. We use a multi-tiered approach for evaluating credit risk, and establish corresponding pricing levels. Applicants are qualified for a program with pricing relative to their specific circumstances and risk characteristics. This approach ensures that our programs can be favorably compared with any financing alternative available to each client.
Prompt Payment
Quick payment for equipment sales can dramatically improve a dealer's cash flow and working capital. Westport's procedures are designed to ensure every transaction is processed and paid as quickly as possible. Dealers are normally paid within two (2) business days of the client's receipt and acceptance of the leased equipment.

Leads and Referrals
Westport has a large and established customer base. Our clients routinely ask us to recommend reliable suppliers for equipment of every nature and description.

These referrals are often a valuable source of additional business opportunities.
