Using the formal ‘Sie’ with ‘dir’ mixes registers; either use ‘Sie’ with ‘Ihnen’ or keep the informal ‘du’ with ‘dir’.
Wir bieten dir flexiblen Rückzahlungspläne an.
After a plural noun without an article, the adjective takes the weak ending ‘-e’, not ‘-en’.
Wir anbieten dir flexible Rückzahlungspläne.
With separable verbs, the prefix must be placed at the end of the clause.

Cultural Tip
In German business communication, the choice between ‘du’ and ‘Sie’ signals the level of formality. ‘Dir’ is informal; if you’re speaking to a client you don’t know well, switch to the formal ‘Ihnen’: ‘Wir bieten Ihnen flexible Rückzahlungspläne an.’ Also, placing the separable prefix ‘an’ at the end is mandatory in main clauses.
