Chris Billingham, Founder, MuscleSquad
Founded in 2017, MuscleSquad’s mission is to encourage health and make fitness accessible to everyone.
Through forging strong relationships with fitness equipment manufacturers, UK-based designs and robust supply chains, MuscleSquad was well-positioned to meet the sudden explosion in demand for home gym equipment when the COVID lockdowns hit – and have been growing ever since.
As other suppliers found themselves struggling to source products – or took advantage of the rise in demand to jack up prices – MuscleSquad stuck to its company mission statement to put the customer first and make fitness accessible to all.
The company received frequent requests from customers to offer finance. MuscleSquad initially partnered with Klarna. However, they encountered some issues.
DivideBuy offered MuscleSquad an interest free credit solution with a spending limit of £6000, solving its issue around finance for higher-ticket items. It also provided them with an Eligibility Checker tool, which let MuscleSquad’s buyers run a soft credit search to see if they would be approved for the amount they wanted to borrow.
With a credit journey of just 5 steps taking less than two minutes from application to approval, MuscleSquad began to see a significant increase in credit sales.
