How we provide our customers with a competitive advantage

Active Capital Funding (ACF) is different from most capital goods financing companies:
  • We go to great lengths to understand the internal culture and drivers of your customer’s business.  This provides the insight required to craft genuinely unique and highly appealing financing solutions.
  • We deliver in-depth training for your sales staff, showing them how to use financing as a deal closer.
  • ACF is 100% focused on partnering with our customers in ongoing relationships, not one-off transactions.  This allows our  company to better understand your market, continually train your sales staff and create tailored financing tools.
  • There’s no extra expense for employing ACF, as the financing institutions that we engage pay our fees.
