Exclusive Capital Expands to ANZ – Official Press Release

Faster Deal Opportunities as Exclusive Capital Delivers First Financing Services to Australia and New Zealand Channel Partners

Exclusive Networks resellers in pole position to benefit from new value-added financing and leasing services

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – August 9^th 2016 – Exclusive Capital, the financing and leasing division of Exclusive Group, has continued its global expansion with the launch of business operations in the A/NZ market. Rolling out immediately to local Exclusive Networks resellers in the first instance, Exclusive Capital’s specialist IT financing and leasing services are proven to help channel partners secure larger project opportunities and close deals faster.

“Australia and New Zealand are important opportunities for the next phase of our global growth, and we are here to address the growing demand for our services proposition,” said Franck Laga, managing director of Exclusive Capital. “More and more enterprises want to make their IT investments through opex rather than capex, and that’s been a big problem for channel partners who then have to spend time searching for funding options and incurring risk. Our approach overcomes those obstacles. We understand and specialise in IT, making it quicker and easier to spread the cost of hardware, software and services through a multitude of flexible ways.”

The first Exclusive Capital services in A/NZ are being made possible through a trading agreement with 3E Advantage, the Sydney and Melbourne-based provider of asset finance solutions. Starting out in this manner enables immediate regulated access to funding partners in both Australia and New Zealand, assuring the availability of highly competitive funding rates in local jurisdictions.

“Enterprise and mid-market customers alike want IT financing, and Exclusive Capital allows channel partners to give it to them without all the complexity, risk and delay that can undermine deal negotiations,” said Dominic Whitehand, managing director of Exclusive Networks Asia-Pacific. “Partners can now be more confident going after bigger opportunities, leading with a financing option up front instead of holding it back or even leaving it off the table. We’re committed to supporting our partners to take full advantage of these exciting new services that also boost cashflow and enhance customer loyalty into the bargain.”
