I know that many of the Scottish Partners are aware of Microsoft Financing, with a number starting to use it on a regular basis to help them close business.

A new scheme has just been announced, which given all the doom and gloom around the 'credit crunch' may be of interest to the Scottish Partner community.  Zero Payments, Six Months – SmartPay from Microsoft
SmartPay offers a simple package that makes selling easier and streamlines the acquisition of IT solutions for customers. Qualified customers get their IT solution taken care of – with zero payments for six months.  Partners get a robust tool to help close more deals more quickly and nurture relationships with customers.  After the introductory period, the remainder of the finance is paid in regular monthly payments.
