8 Pay now button?  Allows customers to buy from us even if they don’t need a loan at that point  Allows those who support us to buy through us and help us with income to run our service and keep our costs low  Helps organisations promote us who are not keen to promote credit – even Fair for You credit  We are responding to requests to set up arrangements with charitable organisations, social landlords, councils and welfare trusts who want to buy items for their clients or tenants  & because we have driven out cost and are providing quality, branded, utility items – we represent a good deal to everyone

9 Coming next….  So much more to come, we are barely started  Good Payers Club starts in the Autumn – wider high street for returning good payers; with lower priced loans, and buffer facilities  More stores being added in the autumn - heating in particular  Non disclosed indemnity loan scheme for landlords and councils to provide better use of their money than a grant. Will help many that can’t get a loan to get onto the credit ladder
