With Ally there are 2 ways for your business customers to finance in the name of their business:
If a business can qualify for financing without the owner’s guaranty, it can obtain financing in the business name only. This gives owners the ability to save their personal credit for other uses.
When a business owner wants to purchase or lease vehicles in the name of the business − but the business entity alone doesn’t qualify for the credit needed − the owner/officer may act as a third party guarantor.
• Builds credit in the business name only
• Keeps the debt off the business owner’s personal credit report, unless the owner acts as guarantor and is unable to pay in the event of a default
• Protects the owner from liability related to the operation of the vehicle, since the owner’s name stays off the vehicle’s title and contract (unlike a co-buyer/co-lessee whose name appears on the title and contract)
We have answers.
Yes. Our Third-Party Guaranty is designed to help keep business transactions at arm's length and personal names off the vehicle contract and title.
Business owners still provide the additional financial backing that we may require, while keeping the business obligation off their personal credit report, except in the event of default.
