This section shall apply notwithstanding that the contract is intended to be transferred, or is transferred, to a holder pursuant to a business relationship characterized by one or more of the following:

(1) All or any part of the seller's contracts are transferred to the holder;

(2) The holder provides contract forms to the seller and instructions for the use of the forms;

(3) The holder investigates the creditworthiness of the buyer before or after the sale;

(4) The price the holder pays the seller for the contract is more than, equal to, or less than that which the retail buyer has contracted to pay to the seller;

(5) The transfer to the holder takes place concurrently with or within a short time of the sale;

(6) The transfer is with or without recourse to the seller; or

(7) The seller purchases services or borrows money from the holder.
