Channel Finance 25: Companies H to Z

  • Written by Joe Panettieri 1
  • April 28, 2011

Overview: The VAR Guy’s Channel Finance 25 is an annual survey from Nine Lives Media Inc. The survey allows VARs to quickly find and explore potential funding opportunities that improve cash flow, speed customer buying decisions, and drive profitable growth.

Neither The VAR Guy nor Nine Lives Media Inc. specifically endorse the companies and funding options mentioned below. This report is meant as a potential first-step guide for VARs that are seeking funding ideas. As with any potential financial engagement, readers should thoroughly research their options before pursuing potential engagements. Since financial needs vary greatly from company to company, the publishers of this report are not in a position to recommend or endorse any specific funding sources.


Channel Finance 25: Companies H through Z


Hewlett-Packard Financial Services

HP Financial Services has more than $11 billion in portfolio assets, $3 billion in annual revenue, $6 billion in annual new volume, and more than 1,100 employees doing business in more than 40 countries. The organization offers certified pre-owned HP equipment, leasing and asset management solutions. Leases are between HP Financial Services and the end-customer, protecting the partners’ credit but maintaining the partner-customer business relationship.

  • Get to Know: Keith Kendall, VP, managing director, North America
  • Address: 3000 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, Calif., 94304
  • Phone: 908-898-4006

IBM Global Financing

IBM in December 2010 launched simplified leasing solutions for IBM Business Partners. According to IDC (International Data Corp.), the leasing and financing program is straightforward — the partner takes the price of the entire solution, including hardware, software, and services, and divides by 36 to determine a buyer’s monthly payment. At the end of the 36 months, the equipment is owned by IBM Global Financing, at which point the customer can choose to buy the equipment at fair market value, return the equipment, or extend the lease, IDC notes. As part of the announcement, IBM Global Financing committed to 60-second credit approval decisions for transactions financing up to $500,000; the amount can include IBM and non-IBM technology, and applies to hardware, software and services. To participate in this financing program, 70% of the transaction must be IBM-eligible hardware, with the remaining 30% made up of software and/or services.

For more than 35 years, Key Equipment Finance has provided equipment financing through the IT channel.

Key serves four market segments:

  • Small to large businesses in the U.S.;
  • Equipment manufacturers, distributors and VARs worldwide;
  • Federal, provincial, state and local governments as well as other public sector organizations; and

Generally speaking, 50 percent of credit applications for deals under $100,000 receive decisions within a minute (for VARs that use Lenovo’s automated credit decisioning tool). Transactions up to $5 million typically are decisioned within 48 hours of Lenovo receiving complete information.

With the anticipated launch of Office 365 sometime in 2011, Microsoft will also expand the number of recurring revenue opportunities available to channel partners outside of traditional IT product sales.
