Pivot from product sales to service sales and make it in a world where ownership is a burden.
We will help you.
Welcome to the new era of service sales.
The world is changing fast, and traditional business models are changing along with it. More and more companies want to buy products as services instead of actually owning them.
We will help your company adjust to this new era of buying and shift from traditional product sales to service sales.
You provide your customers with services, and they pay you for them. It’s as simple as that.
How is this good for your business?
You will get new customers
Your potential customers would rather pay for using devices, not for owning them.
Customers will be more likely to buy
It's much easier to make a decision on a €1,500 monthly service than on a €50,000 investment.
The value of your company will increase
In addition to product sales, your business will include long-term service agreements.
Customer loyalty will increase
When customers go from buying products to subscribing to services, you can deepen your relationship by adjusting your service to meet their needs.
Bring your product to us.
We will turn it into a service.
You will get a ready-made financing model and the tools you need to develop and maintain your service sales based business.

Ufinance
Ufinance.com is a core part of United Finance’s service offering. It is a tool our partners can use to digitalise their sales processes and make a smooth transition from product sales to service sales.
- The United Finance app, which we have been actively developing since 2010, is designed to support product management and the automated creation of service contracts.
- The financing of service contracts has been largely automated, which means you can make smaller service contracts with lower transaction costs.
- Delivery and service contracts can be created quickly and easily online via the Ufinance app. The service is available to all our customers and it can be customised on a partner-specific basis.
- The app lets you and your partners manage the entire lifecycle of your contracts.
- The app will be linked to the existing financial management software, which means that users can directly link contract transactions to their own accounting.

“We tapped into entirely new market segments”
United Finance has a deep understanding of how to refine service sales models and a burning desire to develop our service offering. With their help, we’ve extended our business into new market segments and gained a significant competitive edge. One of the fruits of our cooperation has been the launch of the ITDiamond service, which has been a great way for us to apply and benefit from the principles of service sales.

“Products and services for Data Group’s customers for one monthly fee”
Our objective is to offer our customers all the key products and services they require from the same place – and for a single monthly fee. Selling products as a service used to be challenging because it was generally done through leasing and financing. We’re confident that our partnership with United Finance will bring more possibilities and flexibility to service sales and help us to develop our service sales to better support our customers’ business operations.
Timo Vilenius,
CEO
Data Group
“Light as a service”
Replacing existing light sources with new-generation LED technology has saved our customers energy and money. Together with United Finance, we’ve developed the ‘Valoa Palveluna’ (‘Light as a Service’) concept, which lets our customers save energy without a heavy initial investment. In the concept, the replacement project pays for itself in the very first month. We believe that our partnership with United Finance will lead to significant growth in turnover over the next few years.
