Are you planning to take advantage of some of the incredible discounts on equipment at Imaging USA?  Some of the best deals are for items the exhibiting companies have brought to the show...but would prefer not to pack up and ship back. Others are just really great "show specials." And if you want to buy at Imaging USA, you might want to get pre-approved financing before you get there!    

If you're pre-approved, all you have to do is bring a copy of the dealer quote to United Funding (Booth #1113 at the Imaging EXPO).  They can complete the paperwork on the floor and will walk the purchase order right over to your vendor's booth.  
 
Remember: PPA members also get an additional 2% rebate on all transactions funded through United Funding (up to $1,000).

Unlike putting the expense of new equipment on a credit card, bank loan or home equity loan, this debt rarely appears on your credit report and will not adversely affect your credit scores or ratios.

PPA members can apply today for pre-approval or call Bob Bell at 800-685-7571 for more information.

We can help you find success as an artist and businessperson—
the true photographic rockstar!
