These payments can be structured to suit individual budgetary needs, with options for monthly or quarterly payments over a jointly agreed time-frame.
We understand that over the course of your payment schedule you may wish to upgrade when we release new, more advanced equipment.
With Foundrax Finance you can be provided with state-of-the-art equipment over the course of the whole payment period, keeping your testing capabilities at the cutting edge. You can also package your annual service, certification and verification within the rental payments.
