Capital Deployment
Areas of Opportunity
Onboard Partners is a true business and financial ally, with the ability to leverage capital to accelerate strategic priorities and realize goals. Clients leverage our capital in several ways:
- Increase their marketing investments — in many cases, we’ve had clients more than quadruple their marketing spend by leveraging our performance based model
- Establish new lending opportunities via our access to investors with billions of dollars in debt and equity financing and their appetite for a broad spectrum of risk from near prime to super prime loans
- Selling assets through us that do not meet their risk appetite.
Our team of experts work side by side with clients to deliver custom solutions that deliver new customers, lasting impact and profitability.
