an example for a company that offers back customers credit is Jimmy Johns, they have online rewards that you can sign up with you or phone number or online to earn points for your meals. When you sign up they promote you to go buy a sandwich for your first free sandwich, after that every time you come back and buy something you will be racking up points for free things like sandwiches, chips, cookies, pickles, and drinks.They also have special offers like on your birthday you get a free sub (and after you sign up).  If I wanted to do something similar with my business I make would make a rewards systems where you earn points for discounts.

Explanation:

Identify a business idea with which you can proceed. For example, you start a business that designs and creates landscaping for customers (front garden space, back patio, and so on).

This type of business provides opportunity for consumer credit, as most people would not want to pay a huge amount upfront in cash or even through credit cards.

Since the only other way is to offer credit facility, you will have to make a list of questions. You will then have to research the customer’s credit worthiness.

Check for the customer’s credit rating with the credit- and information-management companies, such as TransUnion or Equifax.

Check for the customers’ current financial positions. You can do so by finding out whether they have a secure job or a well-performing business, number of earning members in the family, and so on.

Depending on the information you acquire, you may decide either to offer complete credit, with a relatively shorter credit period, or only offer a certain percentage of credit spread across a wider credit period.
