...Microsoft Extends Financing Option to Small Business
At the Small Business Summit event kicked off March 14, 2006, Microsoft announced that it is enabling a greater number of small businesses to take advantage of the financing offerings available through Microsoft Financing by lowering the minimum transaction size from US$10,000 to US$3,000.
As a result of lowering the transaction limit, Microsoft is enabling qualifying customers in the United States to get 36-month loans for complete IT solutions – including hardware and services – in addition to Microsoft software.
Additionally, Microsoft is further reaching out to small businesses by making a 90-day deferred payment promotion available on all transactions US$3,000 or above — an offer that until today was available only on transactions above US$10,000. The promotion, previously slated to expire March 31, will be extended until June 30th, 2006 for all loans that are closed by that date.
Partners should visit https://www.microsoftfinancing.com for more information, including sales tools for presenting financing options to customers.
Whose got a deal on the burner? I have 3 or 4. I gotta get them into this. One company already has a line of credit w/Dell, but they are not at all happy with Dell, and this may help me get them over to HP or IBM servers, plus allow them to get CRM 3.0 SBE at the same time. The best part is that financing can include the cost of installation/consulting services.
I'm excited by seeing this. With this I may not get that summer vacation, this time because I won't have time :-D
