In the words of David Barquilla, director of Rent and Tech, the venture offers an additional benefit: “the agreement will encompass the full range of customers, from the self employed to large corporations, though small- and medium-sized businesses will be the main winners, since they will gain access to very favorable conditions for acquiring technology.This agreement proves that BBVA continues its commitment to providing financing for businesses, especially in the technology arena."
While companies today are challenged by the need to upgrade their technology in order to boost productivity, they face numerous hurdles due to a lack of funding sources. In order to address this situation and prevent companies from encountering liquidity problems when purchasing their products, Huawei has joined forces with a solid financial partner.
