IBM Global Financing (IGF) plans to give UK businesses the
option of leasing tablet PCs.

By offering low-interest financing on tablet PCs, IBM will
enable clients to reduce up-front cash outlays and better match
payments to benefits.

In a statement, IBM said: “Instead of buying a tablet at $599
(€416) and imaging it for another $200, companies can lease it for
about $20 a month.  The requirement begins at US$1K in most
geographies.”

With the PC market showing signs of having passed its peak,
fast-growing consumer demand for tablet devices such as Apple’s
iPad and BlackBerry’s Playbook tablet, has opened up a new IT
market for asset finance companies.

Follow IBM’s announcement, other providers in this sector are
also arguably well equipped to offer similar programmes.
