What Anchor Credit is
Anchor Credit gives trade supply distributors a web-based process for collecting contractor credit applications and deciding on them. Distributors can configure application fields, personal guarantee sections, required files, and branding, then share a unique link. Contractors can apply from any device without creating an account or downloading an app. The service emails listed trade references and attaches their questionnaire responses to the contractor’s application. A dashboard lets distributors review application data, add internal notes, approve or deny applications, and request more information. The site says distributors receive instant notifications when applications arrive, and that most can configure a form and share its link within five minutes of signing up. Anchor Credit is intended for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other trade supply distributors extending credit to contractors. A free trial is followed by monthly plans with pricing on request. The company says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with distributor access restricted at the database level.
