When it comes to dealer finance the perceived wisdom has always been that a quick response is imperative to help close a sale quickly (especially if it is an acceptance). Carlyle Finance has delivered for all of its dealers – from the very largest national account retailer groups, through car supermarkets and independent retailers – providing a fast, consistent service right across the country, 7 days a week.
