Microsoft announces financing deal
M Institute members can take advantage of Microsoft's financing offer which enables them to obtain collateral-free debt funding to support their IT and other growth initiatives. This is welcome news for medium-sized organisations in the UK which report that finding finance to fund growth is possibly their most significant business challenge.
Interestingly, only one part of the money from Microsoft Fnancing needs to be spent on Microsoft products, with the rest to be spent entirely at the discretion of the business accessing the funding. The loans are typically for three years and the interest rate varies from around 7-11%, depending on the financial strength and credit rating of the business.
Through the month of June 2007, M Institute members may obtain financing on special terms, known as the 6/50 offer. For the first six months, the business taking out the loan only needs to pay £50 per month, with the rest of the loan payments made over a 36 month period. The minimum loan amount is £1000 with funding available all the way up to large-scale global projects.
To inquire about the funding, please call Microsoft Financing on 0118 909 2299 or click here.
