Answering the Need Vs Budget dilemma

You’ve laid out your IT strategy stretching over the next three years. You know exactly where you want to be and what your blue sky is.  But who’s going to sign off the capital expenditure today?  Upfront investment is difficult to justify with so many demands on cash reserves, particularly when the benefits of the solution are received into the business over a period of time.

Microsoft Financing can help address your business aspirations of achieving the competitive edge and operating at optimum productivity by providing the funding for the solution you need, not simply the solution your current budget permits. 

This does not just mean Microsoft Software. Microsoft Financing provides funding options for the total solution including software, hardware, support and services. You optimise your budget to meet all your IT needs, by spreading the payments over the term of your IT investment, while conferring the peace of mind today that the genuine security of a cohesive IT solution provides.

Traditional financing methods do not always provide the flexibility necessary for businesses to meet the increasing percentage of “soft costs” inherent in IT solutions. Nor do they take into account that many customers may prefer to own the hardware, but want to upgrade it when necessary without referencing a finance house.  

Microsoft Financing offers a new simple proposition.  It is different because there are no hefty down payments, no end of term complications, you own your assets upfront like a cash transaction, but reduce your investment to a manageable and predictable monthly payment. 

Will your CFO buy into your ideal solution when Microsoft Financing allows you to acquire what you need now, plan for the future and keep pace with changes in technology?

Although globally Computer Troubleshooters is a large business, as a franchise, of it’s locations consists of a SME working independantly. This means that the UK businesses are looking closely at the tax implecations.

• VAT cut by 2.5 percentage points
• 45% tax rate on earnings over £150,000 from 2011
• All National Insurance to go up by 0.5% from 2011
• Economy to shrink by up to 1.25% next year
• Borrowing to hit record £118bn
• Public spending growth cut to 1.2%
• Phased increase in vehicle excise duty
• £60 Christmas gift for pensioners

For many, the budget will be a positive move in the short term, but most of us have seen recessions before and know that the short term is the least of our worries.

We will be paying for this government intervension for the rest of our lives as the borrowing has increased to record levels. Traditionally Labour governments borrow their way through their terms of office and the Conservatives pay off the national debt.

From my perspective Australia got it right by paying off most of their national debt years ago and as a result they are looking at the current financial climate in the best position. It seems to me that someone in Australia learnt the lessons of previous recessions and the boom and bust economies of the past.

If the UK Government had had the same approach then job losses, house reposessions and income tax rises for businesses and employees would be less threatening to our population.
