Could you afford to replace multiple servers?
Cloud hosting specialist EveryCity relies heavily on its servers. In order to service high-profile clients that include Audioboo, Secret Escapes and Tesco, it needs to have up to date, reliable equipment.
When it needed to replace a number of its servers EveryCity was faced with the prospect of a major capital expenditure commitment.
The company’s hardware supplier referred it to IQ Finance who were able to put together a leasing deal. Financing products and services in this way prevents businesses from having to tie up cash in depreciating IT assets. It also releases cash flow, thereby helping the day-to-day operation of the business.
Alasdair Lumsden, EveryCity’s founder says, “The team really went out of their way to accommodate our needs and it was refreshing to work with a finance company who chased us to keep the project moving, rather than us chasing them.”
All too often for startup or young businesses, raising finance from traditional sources such as the banks can be a challenge. Specialists like IQ Finance are able to take a rather more flexible approach. We have a great deal of experience in the leasing needs of IT and cloud technology companies and we will perform an individualised risk assessment based upon the profitability of the business and its track record.
With a leasing deal, businesses such as EveryCity are able to purchase all of their equipment requirements at once. With more traditional approaches, they may be forced to place smaller orders for hardware over a longer period of time. This is not only an inconvenience, but it can also put a brake on the expansion plans of the company and may mean they risk losing out on signing up new customers.
