Software finance may not be at the forefront of many company directors and even IT Managers minds. There are some sensible reasons for them to not be aware and to think like this.
Companies do not buy software, they purchase a licence to use the software, for a pre-agreed period of time or forever. Software authors such as Microsoft or Sage only grant us a licence to use their software as they own the source code and intellectual property in it. Finance companies need to “own” the asset that they then rent out to customers. Clearly, they cannot own the software asset as all they are buying is a licence.
However, we do lease computer software and have done for nearly thirty years. Working with a range of finance companies that are comfortable financing software to end user companies.
