Rent-to-own News - D

APRO's online statistical survey is the touchstone used by financial analysts, investment bankers, legislators and the media to gauge the value of the entire rent to own industry.

And your company's input is the surest way to increase that value.

APRO's simplified, online data entry form is now available. Go here to register a new account and participate in the most important survey you will take all year.

Survey deadline Friday, June 6, 2011.

The new re-vamped survey format will save time, allowing dealers to save their progress and continue at a later time.
 

NEW FEATURE: The data participants previously reported (i.e. contact info, prior year income statement and balance sheet data) will be pre-populated in the form assuming they login with the same credentials as last year. Also, if users forget their login credentials, they can be retrieved from the website using the password retrieval tool. 
 

"The survey was very easy to complete and I was actually very surprised at how quick it was," said Shannon Strunk, who operates the companies Baber’s, Gulf Coast L&P, and Gulf Breeze which represent 60 home furnishing and custom wheel and tire rental stores. "I started it one day, saved my place and completed it a week later. You can come and go as you please and it's absolutely much easier than in years past."
 

The value of every rent to own company is linked to the statistical economic story charted for the past 15 years using this statistical instrument.
