COLUMBIA, Md. ( July 8, 2009) - PEAK Technologies, a Platinum Equity company, today announced it has launched a new customer financing solution through its newly created PEAK Financial Services program.   The program has been designed to offer flexible and cost-effective ways for PEAK customers to enjoy the benefits of advanced technology today, while remaining within budgetary constraints and guarding against obsolescence.

"PEAK Financial Services financing options are specifically designed to meet our customers' ever-changing technological and budgetary needs.  Financing options are available to accommodate product purchases under a traditional fair market value operating lease arrangement, or by utilizing PEAK Advantage, a bundled package, monthly fee arrangement including equipment and other 'soft costs' such as printer consumables, software, onsite service and professional services," said Tim Wills, vice president of marketing, PEAK Technologies.

The benefits of considering a traditional lease or a PEAK Advantage agreement include:

• 100% Financing - bundle in service, hardware, installation, professional services, software, labels/ribbons, print heads - all for one monthly fee
• Preserve Capital - loan lines and available cash are free for other investments or business expenses
• Ability to add more equipment and avoid technical obsolescence - add on, replace, or upgrade equipment for a small amount per month as business needs expand
• Fixed payments - lease and monthly payments are fixed making budgeting easier to manage
• Tax benefits - monthly payments may be tax-deductible
• Flexibility with end of lease options - Renew, return, or upgrade the equipment at the end of the lease term

"Many of our customers desperately need to upgrade their aging printers or wireless technology, or deploy a new application, but don't have the budget to do so," added Wills. "For example, with PEAK Advantage, a customer that needs to refresh their printers can acquire new printers, while also bundling in labels and printer supplies, together with an onsite service contract, for one monthly fee.  This allows our customers to move forward with their operational business plans while letting the new technology investment pay for itself through productivity gains and reduced costs."
