09 MATERIAL FIELDS
A REAL OFFER NEEDS ALL 9.
Every open field changes the comparison. A payment shown by itself cannot explain the cost of the equipment or the credit agreement.
| Field | What a real offer must state | Second Shift status |
|---|---|---|
| Provider | Legal lender or financing provider name | Open |
| Eligibility | Who may apply and the conditions that apply | Open |
| Purchase amount | Cash price and amount financed | Open |
| Rate | Interest rate or annual percentage rate, with conditions | Open |
| Term | Number of months and payment schedule | Open |
| Fees | Origination, late, prepayment, or other charges | Open |
| Payment | Amount, frequency, and assumptions | Open |
| Total cost | Total of payments and any upfront amount | Open |
| Approval | Application route, decision owner, timing, and credit condition | Open |
CASH AND FINANCED PATHS
KEEP THE EQUIPMENT PRICE VISIBLE.
The contractor scope and credit agreement are 2 separate documents. Both need to match the amount being discussed.
- What is the cash price for the complete installed scope?
- How much will be financed and is a down payment required?
- What rate and term produce the payment?
- Which fees are paid now or added to the balance?
- What is the total of all scheduled payments?
- What happens after prepayment or a missed payment?
APPROVAL OWNERSHIP
NAME WHO DECIDES.
A real financing page should identify the provider, application destination, credit condition, and point when terms become final. It should state whether the contractor receives application information.
Second Shift has none of those facts. This page displays no application button and collects no credit information.
NO TEASER PAYMENT
SHOW THE ASSUMPTIONS BESIDE THE NUMBER.
Any future payment example must carry the equipment price, amount financed, rate, term, fees, payment frequency, total cost, and approval condition in the same view. Until those facts exist, this page stays a comparison ledger.
APPLICATION BOUNDARY
CHECK THE DESTINATION AND THE DATA.
This demonstration has no application route. It asks for no identity, income, account, or credit information.
- Which company receives the application?
- Who can view the application details?
- When does a credit check occur?
- Which terms are estimates before approval?
- Where do the final agreement and privacy terms appear?
- How can an applicant stop before accepting?
