A smarter way to invest in IDEA StatiCa: spread the cost with flexible finance
Investing in the right engineering software can deliver significant benefits to your business — but it doesn’t necessarily mean making a large upfront payment.
IDEA StatiCa UK has partnered with Reality Finance, an established UK independent asset finance provider, to give our customers another way to invest in IDEA StatiCa.
Instead of paying the full cost upfront, eligible businesses can spread their investment over fixed, manageable payments, helping protect cash flow while giving their engineering teams access to the software they need today.
Why finance your IDEA StatiCa investment?
For many businesses, financing isn’t about whether they can afford to purchase software outright. It’s about deciding how best to use the company’s available capital. Financing your IDEA StatiCa investment can offer several advantages:
No large upfront cost
Get access to the IDEA StatiCa licences your business needs without committing the full purchase price at the outset.
Preserve valuable cash reserves
Rather than tying up working capital in software, cash can remain available for recruitment, equipment, projects and other business priorities.
Preserve other lines of credit
Asset finance can provide an additional funding route without consuming existing bank facilities or other available credit lines. Reality Finance specifically identifies this as one of the advantages of asset finance.
Fixed, predictable payments
Payments can be fixed for the entire finance term, making the investment straightforward to budget for and avoiding unexpected changes to monthly costs.
Potential tax benefits
Depending on the type of finance agreement and your circumstances, rental payments can be 100% tax allowable. VAT may also be reclaimed by VAT-registered businesses.
Suitable for new and existing IDEA StatiCa customers
The finance option isn’t limited to businesses purchasing IDEA StatiCa for the first time. It could also be relevant if you’re looking to:
- purchase your first IDEA StatiCa licences;
- increase the number of licences available to your engineering team;
- invest in additional IDEA StatiCa applications or capabilities; or
- make a larger software investment while protecting your company’s cash position.
This makes finance particularly interesting for companies that want to increase software capacity now rather than postpone an investment because of current-year budget constraints.
How does it work?
The process is designed to be straightforward.
Once we’ve established the IDEA StatiCa solution and licences you require, we can provide the purchase quotation together with an indicative finance option.
If you decide you’d like to explore finance, your details are passed to Reality Finance for underwriting. Subject to acceptance, the finance documentation is issued electronically for signature.
Reality Finance handles the finance arrangement, while IDEA StatiCa UK continues to provide your software licences, services and support in the normal way.
