RentSmart is a part of the ThinkSmart group of companies, an international leader and innovator in the provision of business-to-business financing for the SME IT market, whose products successfully bridge the gap between a credit card and a bank loan for delivering a fast, simple finance solution for businesses.
RentSmart’s first product offering in the UK – SmartPlan - is a first-to-market offering aimed exclusively at the four million small and medium sized businesses that operate within the United Kingdom.
The UK and European operation was established in early 2003 when the company signed a joint venture with Bank of Scotland Group.
This was followed with an exclusive contract with Dixons Sales Group and the launch of the "SmartPlan" brand through PC World Business in May 2003.
RentSmart was originally launched in Australia by the ThinkSmartgroup of companies, where it has consistently been one of the top 100 fastest growing companies* in the delivery of finance for small businesses at the point of sale. Managing Director Ned Montarello was also awarded the National Entrepreneur of the Year award in 1998 for his achievements in introducing the product in Australia.
SmartPlan powered by RentSmart is now offered through over 150 PC World stores nationwide, through the PC World business call centre direct operation and through the PCWB website.
