CONSUMER FINANCE

THE BICYCLE ASSOCIATION SCHEME

The Bicycle Association and Novuna Finance have teamed up to create an exclusive package for UK bicycle stores.

Our competitive rates package, easy sign-up process and intuitive online consumer portal allows stores to offer their consumers a more flexible way to pay. Offering lower turnover thresholds and better rates that retailers could achieve on their own.

The BAs package is designed to help with the 5 key challenges that retailers have identified to us:

FCA License - start trading with up to 10 months consumer terms without a license, plus help with getting your own (or using an Appointed Representative Scheme)
Integration - we're actively reaching out to all the EPOS/ECOMM providers (please see list below)
Rates - The Novuna scheme offers competitive rates by grouping retailers together in one scheme
Sign Up Fees - there are no sign up or Admin fees with the BA or Novuna to access the scheme
Minimum Turnover - currently there is no minimum to apply (though active accounts may be reviewed for periods of inactivity)

Retailer Qualifying Criteria:

Open to all retailers - both with, or without, an FCA license
2 years accounts, with most recent accounts profitable
Net assets of £25k or more
