Landscape Management Network (LMN) and Acorn Finance have partnered to launch LMN Lend Home Improvement Financing powered by Acorn Finance. The new functionality gives landscape contractors who use the LMN business management software the ability to offer their customers access to Acorn Finance’s marketplace for funding options up to $100,000 at no cost to and with no onboarding effort by the contractor.
“Consumers continue to invest in their properties,” said Mark Bradley, CEO at LMN. “As a contractor, you want to be able to provide the best experience possible for your customers. Knowing you can now easily walk them through financing options as a part of the estimate brings tremendous value to customers and positions landscape operation owners as true partners in the renovations.”
The new consumer funding option from LMN addresses a common pain point facing both contractors and their customers — easy access to the right financing at the right time. Point-of-sale financing can improve cash flow for contractors on large jobs and deliver greater convenience to homeowners throughout the estimating and proposal process.
“LMN has been an excellent partner in this endeavor,” said Giri Addanki, founder and CEO of Acorn Finance. “We have a shared vision of giving homeowners access to more financing choices and lower rates while helping contractors to improve the customer experience and grow sales at no additional cost to them.”
Through LMN Lend, when a contractor prepares an estimate for a backyard renovation, pool or other major landscape improvements, they’ll be able to seamlessly offer access to financing options from Acorn Finance’s network of lenders. Through an online application process, homeowners will receive financing offers (amount, rates and terms) within minutes. Once executed, funds are delivered to the homeowner in as little as 24 hours.
Research has shown that if consumers have access to financing when exploring home improvement projects, they are more likely to move forward with the project. Now with LMN Lend powered by Acorn Finance, contractors can deliver new landscape and hardscape programs and bring financing offers to homeowners.
The consumer financing options will be available to all LMN Pro users and their customers in the United States.
