To stay connected today, many small businesses look to wireless solutions for their businesses' communications needs, but struggle to finance a switch from land-line to wireless systems. AT&T hopes to fix that.
AT&T, an NGLCC corporate partner, has recently introduced financing options for small businesses looking to implement wireless communications solutions or update existing wireless systems. AT&T's loans—offered through AT&T's financing subsidiary, AT&T Capital Services—start as small as $1,000 and have been as large as several hundred thousand dollars.
"AT&T has shown its commitment to small businesses and the struggles they're facing in times of tight budgets and less access to capital," said Justin Nelson, NGLCC co-founder and president.
The loans are intended to help small businesses implement wireless solutions such as smart phones and other devices with fleet management or GPS tracking applications and netbooks, as well as laptops enabled with mobile broadband and Wi-Fi capabilities.
"Our goal is to provide small businesses with access to new options for funding game-changing wireless solutions, to help them innovate and grow and, ultimately, to serve as a catalyst to jumpstart this critical engine for U.S. economic recovery," said Cathy Martine, executive vice president of small business solutions for AT&T. "With more than 25 years experience in communications financing, we know the challenges that small businesses face and understand that today, perhaps more than ever before, access to capital is critical to sustaining their operations."
