The EnFin Moat
Choose EnFin over GoodLeap if your primary goal is protecting your margin from rising dealer fees. Its transparent capital stack and direct-to-installer model make it the gold standard for teams who prioritize long-term firm profitability over quick, high-friction approvals.
The Dividend Finance Moat
Choose Dividend over standard loan portals if your bottleneck is credit-box flexibility and automated dealer-fee management rather than just basic project funding.
Operational Friction: Shifting financing ecosystems requires a technical audit of 2026 Dealer Fee buffers and a complete overhaul of the homeowner credit-application API handoff.
