Toshiba UK announced, in association with Shire Leasing1, the launch of an innovative online finance solution for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), offering flexibility when purchasing high-end laptops.

The association will enable SMBs to easily apply for finance when leasing products online offered by Shire Leasing2 through its Click2Finance platform3, a fully automated system that performs online credit approval, e-signature of leasing documents and online delivery confirmation.

This new finance initiative will help SMBs to better cope with IT spending, which is traditionally one of the biggest capital expenses for small organizations. Products are available for a 24 or 36 month lease period.

“We’re delighted to boost our SMB offering with the launch of this association with Shire Leasing,” said Santiago Alviar-Baquero, head of SMB and Distribution for Toshiba in Northern Europe. “SMBs don’t just form an important part of our customer base, but also play a vital role in the wider economy. Despite this, they are often the most in need of financial support. Expanding upon our SMB offering with this new online finance solution is a significant step towards ensuring SMBs are equipped with quality yet affordable products, enabling them to be successful and productive while operating within a structured financial framework.”
