Bespoke B2B Finance Programmes for ICT Channel Technology Partners & VARs

At Shire Leasing, we understand that ICT equipment is the backbone of modern businesses. To stay competitive, your customers need flexible, up-to-date technology, but budget constraints often stand in the way. That’s where Shire Leasing comes in.

We work closely with ICT equipment manufacturers, distributors, partners and Value-Added Resellers (VARs) to create bespoke finance programmes that allow your business customers to acquire the equipment and technology solutions they need, without the large upfront costs. We can even combine your hardware, software and soft costs into a single, manageable payment for customers.

Simply get in touch to discuss how we can develop a tailored finance program to support investment in your technology solutions.

Why partner with Shire Leasing?

Hybrid funder model

We don’t expect you to be experts in finance, that’s our job. As an independent funder with an Own Book exceeding £200m, as well lines of credit with a panel of 30+ external lenders, we can offer competitive rates as well as optimised credit decisions for your customers.

Finance for all business types

Supporting UK SMEs since 1990, we are trusted by over 66,000 customers across all market sectors, with business types including new-starts, sole traders, partnerships, schools and other educational establishments, limited companies, through to large blue-chip companies.

Wider customer choice and flexibility

We offer a range of finance options, including leasing, hire purchase and dedicated IT equipment finance solutions that you can integrate directly into your sales process. This flexibility ensures that your customers can choose the option that best suits their financial situation, making it easier for them to commit to investing from you.

Simple sales processes

Approved partners gain access to Shire Online which provides instant and simple quoting capabilities, as well as automated finance decisions generated within seconds, enabling your sales teams to present financing options during consultations with confidence. We can also offer API integrations to seamlessly align with existing sales processes.

Enhanced channel sales conversions

By offering financing options, you remove a significant barrier to purchase, enabling more customers to say “yes” to the technology solutions they require than be forced to settle for what they can afford. This not only boosts your initial conversions, but also develops future opportunities to support customers to upgrade to the latest technologies at the end of their agreed term.

24 hour invoice payment

Reduce your risk of late or missed payments and improve cash flow. Upon install and completion of all relevant documentation, your invoice is paid in full by BACS and your customer’s agreement with us begins.
