Technology Resellers Get Credit Help from Fujitsu, GE Capital

Resellers now have another option when it comes to obtaining financing for
Fujitsu America-branded products. GE Capital’s Commercial Distribution
Finance arm is offering extended distribution financing programs—60-day payment
terms—for resellers who source Fujitsu America
products through distributors D&H, Tech Data or Synnex.

Fujitsu isn’t the first to launch such a program. Several vendors and
distributors have opened up the war chest in recent months, offering extended
financing terms and other special credit offers to help facilitate deals.

At the same time, other
doors have shut as the credit crisis that began last fall has
taken its toll on all kinds of credit.

“Fujitsu America
recognizes recent economic conditions create the need to support the
distribution of our products by providing resellers with working capital
financing options,” says Matt McManus, vice president North American Channel
Sales for Fujitsu America,
in a prepared statement. “Our finance program through GE gives Fujitsu America
resellers the credit availability and terms options to best fit the resellers’
needs.”

The Fujitsu America financing program provides up to 60-day interest-free
payment terms on all Fujitsu server/storage and mobility purchases made through
Tech Data or Synnex, according to the companies. Similar terms are available
for Fujitsu mobility product purchases made through D&H. To qualify, all
program purchases must be financed by GE Capital.
