The ACCPAC Canadian Leasing Program, set for official launch in June 2003, is designed to facilitate the acquisition of a wide variety of ACCPAC’s business management applications, by Canadian small to mid-sized businesses. The program will be offered through ACCPAC’s Canadian network of authorized resellers.

Utilizing Alliance Financing’s multi-underwriter business model, coupled with Alliance’s comprehensive suite of traditional and online marketing and delivery systems, the ACCPAC Canadian Leasing Program will offer flexible terms, rates and payment structures to the widest possible variety of business customers, in virtually all industry sectors, and for the widest range of credit profiles.

Bernie Shimkovitz, CEO of Alliance Financing states: "We are very pleased to have been selected by ACCPAC to develop and manage this new program. Up to 80% of all Canadian businesses currently use leasing to acquire business equipment and machinery, and the use of leasing to acquire mission-critical software applications is a natural extension of this strategy for most businesses. We believe that by offering a leasing solution to its customers, ACCPAC will further enhance its already significant market penetration in Canada."
