When it comes to dealing with businesses, we have worked with both small one-man bands, and large multi-national corporations. Sitting somewhere in the middle there are franchisees like TaxAssist Accountants, the UK’s well known franchise of knowledgeable tax accountants. The franchise has grown to over 200 franchisees, servicing more than 47,000 clients nationwide!
We have worked with a few different TaxAssist franchisees over the years, helping to provide equipment finance for new ranges of both IT hardware and software, to allow them to remain current with IT standards and continue to offer their services to their clients.
Now however, we have just completed a deal with the TaxAssist head office, for £30,000 worth of equipment finance for IT hardware and software, with fixed payment spread over a 4 year period, and no deposit required.
Phil Sullivan, Network Operations Director of TaxAssist, gave us this quote:
I just wanted to drop you a line on behalf of Karl, Sarah and myself to say how delighted we were with the service received from Johnson Reed in respect of the lease finance for our recent IT upgrade. The whole process from my initial contact to you through to the funds being released to our supplier has been smooth, efficient and painless. In addition the terms were very competitive. A 100% positive experience. This is the second time we have used JR’s services and we would strongly recommend them to others.
As is standard with our leasing agreements, TaxAssist have been able to get the equipment they need immediately, with full knowledge of their payment schedule and terms of the agreement. Also, not that we needed to explain it them, but by using leasing TaxAssist will be able to leverage the full cost of the equipment leased and offset it against their tax. These are just some of the benefits of using equipment leasing over traditional lending!
We are delighted to be able to help a repeat customer, and with trading experience with Johnson Reed and our own portfolio of funds available, we were able to utilise our own resources to act as the lender to provide immediate assistance when requested.
