About 1 & Fund and 1LOOK
How many times have you been sitting at the kitchen table of a potential customer, trying to close a sale, only to have your customer DECLINED for financing. It completely sucks the air out of the room. Now what?
How much time and effort do you spend trying to submit multiple finance applications through multiple log-ins to multiple platforms, not to mention logging into a third - or fourth - system, plus your credit card and ACH processor - all while trying to stay cool and calm in front of a customer.
How many times have you seen a customer experience decision paralysis when there are too many offers on the screen and the heads start spinning. Isn’t there a better way?
The financing process as it exists today simply doesn’t work for an exceptional customer and sales designer experience. Enter 1 & Fund, built BY home improvement experts FOR home improvement experts.
1 & Fund was founded with the goal of making home improvement financing easier and faster for the sales designer at the kitchen table. With our deep home improvement experience, we know that companies that finance more deals generate more sales, have higher profits, and better retention.
To address this, we developed the 1LOOK multi-lender finance platform, a revolutionary tool tailored specifically for the home improvement sector. Acting as your comprehensive "Finance Manager In A Box," 1LOOK streamlines and curates the financing process for your business.
With 1LOOK, your sales designers can ask their customers to fill out a single application, and 1LOOK does the rest. With our innovative, patent-pending software and algorithms, 1LOOK matches the homeowner with the right lender.
Immediate results are fewer declines in the home and more sales on the books. 1LOOK platform is a win for your customers, your designers, your business, and the lenders who get to give you stronger approvals through the 1LOOK platform.

A recovering M&A attorney who has transacted more than $10B in deals, Rob has worked in the home improvement space for half a decade. Since then, he's sold many of the large home improvement companies, such as Tundraland, to private equity, so he understands how financing programs drive sales - and ultimately company value.
