Contractor-focused Financing with Jennifer Lau-Hatcher
August 30, 2023
“The programs that exist are built by lenders. They’re not built to benefit the contractor. We are building the platform and programs by home improvement experts for home improvement experts so that the pain points of the dealer are getting solved, which is a completely opposite approach to how everybody else is attacking it.”
