What We Do

Affordit helps small businesses make big purchases by breaking the cost into small payments that are easy to manage.

How Affordit Works

Affordit is just a retail purchase broken down into small payments.

Our process works like this:

1. Pick an item from our catalogue and click "Buy Now"
2. Create an account and provide a small down payment toward the item.
3. Your item ships immediately.
4. Each week we will automatically deduct your weekly payment from your preferred account.
5. After your term is over - you're done! There's nothing else to it.

What's Important To Us

We want to create a simple, friendly way to help small businesses grow.

We know how hard it is to manage cash flow for a small business - we've built lots of them ourselves. Balancing the demands of payroll, rent, inventory and overhead is a constant challenge, and making new equipment purchases doesn't make it any easier.

That's why we created Affordit - a simple way to break your bigger purchases down into smaller amounts that you can easily afford to help cash flow.
