At Close Motor Finance we have a specialist Key Accounts Division, which focuses exclusively on franchised dealerships, dealer groups and manufacturer relationships nationwide.

Local Account Management
All our Account Managers are local to your area. This means they work with a smaller collection of dealers and can prioritise your needs quicker.
Service 7 days a week
We are open 7 days a week. Our Dealer Support Unit is open every weekend and on bank holidays to ensure we continue to provide out of hours support for our dealer network. For the Dealer Support Unit contact details, please visit the Contact Us page.
Flexible Underwriting
Every finance proposal we receive is overseen by an underwriter allowing a more flexible approach. This means that more cases are converted into agreements. We will also place your declined proposals with our panel of non-prime lenders. This will give you further opportunities to increase your sales and will result in more income for your business.
Dealer Proposal System - "Ask Close"
Our dealers have access to our web-based application, the dealer proposal system (Ask Close) and so enjoy quicker response times on all electronically submitted proposals. Average turnaround time for proposals when using "Ask Close" is 10 minutes, compared with an average of 60 minutes if sent by fax.
Dealer Funding
Close Motor Finance work with dealers to identify exactly which wholesale funding package is suitable for your needs. We consider wholesale funding to be an important part of building and maintaining valuable dealer partnerships and so we offer all traditional methods of funding.
