"Customers get the products they want at prices they can afford through a monthly payment, and they also establish or re-establish credit at the same time"
Dan Young, founder of PC Laptops

To accommodate what the company calls "growing trends in Salt Lake City market", PC Laptops, a reseller of custom-built notebook computers with 5 locations in Salt Lake, today announced a "rent-to-own" financing option for all laptop purchases. The plans will be offered through a partnership with Progressive Finance Corp..

"We have a strong partnership with Progressive Finance," said Dan "The Laptop Man" Young, founder of PC Laptops. "Their financing program will give more people the opportunity to own a top-notch laptop and benefit from the latest in mobile computer technology."

According to Young, this kind of deal allows a customer to rent-to-own with all the same benefits of a same-day cash payment, but it does not affect his/her credit line.

"Our offer is simple and the benefits are twofold," Young said. "Customers get the products they want at prices they can afford through a monthly payment, and they also establish or re-establish credit at the same time."

At the time of application, customers must provide a current pay stub as proof of employment during the past six months, a current checking statement to show the customer has had a checking account for at least three months and a valid driver's license for identification purposes.
