Belgian small-ticket leasing
network Parfip Lease has recently expanded the scale of its vendor
partnership with French information system security provider Risc
Group on the back of the lessor’s web-based credit scoring
system.

In recent months, Parfip has increased
the number of territories in which it provides finance to Risc to a
total of eight.

Parfip, which is active in 11
countries, first signed a partnership with Risc for the financing
of its core equipment and services – including data safety
programs, network and telecommunication operators, virus scans and
firewall programs – back in 2001. Risc recently joined the Paris
stock exchange.

Risc sells both physical and
service-based products through lease contracts provided by Parfip,
and assesses clients’ credit scores through use of Parfip’s online
scoring system.

According to Parfip president Guy
Pariente, Risc chose the network as a result of trialling this
scoring system which is said to allow vendors to make finance
decisions in minutes and thus close sales at a faster rate.

Another feature of the partnership is
the consolidation of all leases written by individual clients into
single contracts, with monthly invoices condensing equipment
rental, maintenance and service provision into one payment.
