Read on to find out more about our equipment and technology finance capabilities.
Designed to enable the acquisition of a complete system or single piece of technology or machinery, the finance period and terms are aligned to the predicted benefits you as the manufacturer will gain from the technology. Often this type of financing will cover associated costs of ownership, such as maintenance, into a ‘bundled’ payment schedule. To enable rapid acquisition and implementation decisions, there is also the chance to have a ‘master’ agreement with a manufacturer, streamlining the process of agreeing future financing.
Technology innovation and upgrade periods are shortening. Finance can provide the flexibility to upgrade during the course of a financing period, offering protection against technology obsolescence. Upgrades often involve retrofitting hardware and software onto the main technology platform, extending the life of the platform and the value and capabilities it delivers to manufacturers. We understand the associated risks and can incorporate the software element into a total financing package.
Driving customer sales with innovative financing
If you are an industrial technology solution provider, such as an OEM or disributor, you buy technology components and then sell your manufacturing technology to other manufacturers.
Our vendor financing solutions provide integrated packages that make the investment in your equipment and technology affordable for your customers.
Extended payment terms
Our extended payments terms enable manufacturers and industrial technology suppliers buying Siemens’ components up to 180 days to pay, whilst you await payment from your customers. This helps you manage your liquidity to meet the growing demand in a digitalizing sector.
You may also experience tightened liquidity due to rapid growth. Asset based lending allows you to access the cash that may be tied up in working capital assets. A revolving line of credit, secured by your accounts receivable and inventory, provides the liquidity needed to meet daily cash needs.
