Finance Options
We offer flexible finance options that reduce the cost and complexity of managing multiple finance contracts. Our solutions can include hardware, software and services. In a world that is rapidly adopting Pay-as-You-Go models our finance solutions can be structured to meet your cash flow and budgetary requirements.
All equipment, software and services (Project and/or Managed Services) can be incorporated into a single agreement. The payments can be structured with varying periods and offer payment holidays to reflect equipment commissioning rather than delivery e.g. equipment is receipted in December but not commissioned/deployed until February. In this scenario we would structure a plan where the first payment would not fall due until February. Similarly, depending on the profile of the IT assets (core infrastructure, software, peripheral devices etc) we structure the finance to align with the projected life of the equipment.
Our finance agreements are “Off Balance Sheet” and not reported as contingent liabilities.
Our whole-of-life finance facility also offers flexible end-of-term options. The customer may continue to use the equipment or return it and leverage our end-of-life services that includes data destruction and environmentally friendly eWaste recycling compliant with ISO 14001 standards.
