Technology Finance
Datasouth is able to supply a number of solutions to assist with the structuring of technology investment through Datasouth Finance Ltd (DFL). DFL provides approved clients with options from deferred payment through to full term operating leases.
Operating leases can be structured to include all hardware procurement, software licensing and professional services not usually accepted for traditional funding from banking institutions or other corporate lenders.
All operating leases are off balance sheet transactions, with rental payments being fully tax deductible.
Subject to credit assessment and approval, all hardware, software, installation, training and consultancy services may be funded to 100%. The approval process is completed within 48 hours, subject to information requirements being fulfilled.
Financial disclosure or requirement of director’s guarantees may be waived - dependant on assessment of financial standing of the business. Often a limit will be approved allowing ongoing draw downs to be made simply. DFL will lease amounts from $5K to $500K. (Facilities are only available for NZ registered businesses at this time).
At expiration of lease the options are:
- Extend the term at a lower rate.
- Purchase the equipment at an agreed value.
- Return the equipment.
- Replace equipment via new lease or purchase.
