Abstract
In an exemplary embodiment, a customer, an automobile dealership, a participating financial institution, and a credit bureau may be electronically connected in a system that preferably uses the internet in order to develop and process a legal document comprising a credit application. The system thereby eliminates a paper-based process of credit approval, providing an efficient interaction between businesses and their customer.
