Binmaha Almazroui Marketing plan for Automobile Financing without Resorting to banks.

Binmaha Almazroui Marketing plan for Automobile Financing without Resorting to banks.

Preface:
The  United  Arab  Emirates, Abu Dhabi included,  had  followed  the  open  market  model  in  its  economic  development. Major  global  trademarks  have  always  found  it easy  to  have  representative  agents  in  the  UAE  market.  Major  automobile  manufacturers  have  long had  their  agencies  and  dealers  all over  the  country .  These  dealers often  belong  to  wealthy  families,  and  they  are  invariably  solvent   companies  and  individuals   who do  not need the support of banks  to  market  and  sell their  cars.


On  the  other  hand, loan  policies  in local  banks  are  putting so  many limitations  and  restrictions  on clients wishing to apply for  car  loans .  The vast majority  of citizens  and expatriates  have  already  taken different  kinds  of loans. the vast majority of citizens  apply for, and to get, new car loans.


The Plan:  
This is a plan  where  car  dealers  can adopt  a self-financing  plan  to increase their  sales  considerably, save a considerable margin  of  profits usually taken by the banks and promote customer loyalty. 

The main elements of this plan are the following :


1- Cars are sold to clients against checks over three years. For more flexibility, the checks could be left undated.

2- The dealer would ask  for  a guarantor in case the client was unknown or his  solvency was  questionable. The Guarantor would  deposit four checks,  covering  the car value  in case  of default.

3- The car shall  be pledged either  to the case  dealer or to the insurance company to ensure it wont leave  the country.

4- The car dealer would coordinate with an insurance company to develop a scheme that would cover the value of the  sold car,  or the remaining sum of  money if  there  was  a down payment

5-  The Insurance  company  would set  follow-up team of two  or  three employees to maintain  contacts with the customers  and   to  remind  them  of  their  due  payments.

6- Clients would sign a legally binding instrument by which  they  pledge  to  respect  and  preserve  the  interests  of  the  company.

7- The payments  shall  be  flexible  and  will  not  take  the rigid  form  of  previously set  monthly  payments  like  those  imposed  by banks. The follow  up work  would  insure  the collection  of  sufficient  and  timely  payments  by clients  through  phone calls,  reminders, soft pressure, etc.

8- The follow up  team  shall develop  a database  of information  about  the clients, their businesses, income,  interests, real estate, family members, commitments / liabilities, strengths, weaknesses, etc. This will enable  the  team  to deal  effectively  with  the  clients, after  knowing  a great  deal about  their  backgrounds.

It is expected that insurance companies  would welcome  such a plan, because  it  runs in  harmony  with  their line of work, and it will certainly add to  their  business.

Profitability: 
Compared  with  the  bank-financing  option,  this  plan  shall  be  very  profitable  to  all parties  concerned.  The  interest  imposed  by  banks  on  car  loans  goes  anywhere  between  14%  and  16%. If  this  interest,  or  even  a  lesser  one,  Is  levied  and  shared  between  the  car  dealer  and  the  insurance  company,  That  will  add  considerably  to  the  profitability  of  the  dealership,  And  constitute  a  good  return  on  investment  (ROI).  The  scheme  would  also  increase  sales,  Thus  doubling  profitability.  The  plan  will  also  be  profitable  to  the  insurance  companies, By  opening  a  new  venue  for  their  business.  The  clients,  On  the  other  hand,  Will  feel  more  comfortable  with  this  option  which  will  spare  them  the rigid  banking  policies  of  monthly  payments  and  high  interests.
