IBM Global Financing

IBM Global Financing offers competitive financing to credit-qualified customers and IBM Business 

Partners to assist them in acquiring IT solutions. The offerings include financing for IT acquisition, 
including hardware, software, and services, from both IBM and other manufacturers or vendors, and 
commercial financing (revolving lines of credit, term loans, acquisition facilities, and inventory financing 
credit lines) for IBM Business Partners. Offerings (for all customer segments: small, medium, and large 
enterprise), rates, terms, and availability can vary by country. Contact your local IBM Global Financing 
organization or see the following website:

http://www.ibm.com/financing

 

IBM Global Financing offerings are provided through IBM Credit LLC in the United States, and other IBM 

subsidiaries and divisions worldwide to qualified commercial and government customers. Rates are 
based on a customer's credit rating, financing terms, offering type, equipment type, and options, and can 
vary by country. Other restrictions might apply. Rates and offerings are subject to change, extension, or 
withdrawal without notice.

Financing solutions from IBM Global Financing can help you stretch your budget and affordably acquire 

the new product. But beyond the initial acquisition, the IBM end-to-end approach to IT management can 
also help keep your technologies current, reduce costs, minimize risk, and preserve your ability to make 
flexible equipment decisions throughout the entire technology lifecycle.
