Key Equipment Finance Payment Options

6-month Step Up Payments Lease – Monthly payment of $99 for first 6 months, followed by Standard lease payments that will then commence for 18, 30, 42, or 54 month term. That’s right; your customers can pay only $99 per month for the first six
months at no cost!

The Key Equipment Finance program is the affordable, easy, fast, and secure way for your customers to pay for their Sage Software solutions monthly, instead of having to purchase them with a single up-front payment.

The program was developed with and is administered by Key Equipment Finance.
Breaking down the transaction cost into small monthly payments can make all the difference in getting the deal done. In a tighter economy, if you are not offering Key Equipment Finance options to your customers on every proposal, be aware that your competitors are hotly pursuing this avenue.
