Etisalat announced yesterday that its Business Quick Start service now offers small and medium businesses, SMBs, in the UAE a wider range of free devices and high-end office equipment at zero upfront cost and easy-instalment options.

Etisalat launched its Business Quick Start service in 2014. Part of Etisalat's Business-in-a-Box solution tailored just for SMBs, the bundle offers the basic essentials for businesses to get started: high-speed fixed broadband Internet, free national and international voice minutes and free devices - such as laptops, tablets and smartphones - on a single, converged bill. Today, a complete range of the latest office and personal devices have been added to this one-of-a-kind bundle which includes printers, projectors, smart signage TVs, desktops, routers, switches and more from globally renowned brands and manufacturers.

John Lincoln, Senior Vice President, SMB at Etisalat, said, "At Etisalat, we understand the most important needs of our SMB customers – value for money, convenience and simplicity. Our commitment to help businesses grow mandates that we constantly innovate and introduce services tailored around these business needs, allowing SMBs to focus on their core business while we take care of their IT and connectivity needs.

"Our Business Quick Start service not only blends simplicity, convenience and value, but for the first time in the country, SMBs can count on Etisalat for cost-effective infrastructural set up that goes beyond basic connectivity and telephony. Importantly, the free bundled devices and zero upfront in easy instalment plans from the range of high-end devices caters to their OPEX model and reduces the burden on their CAPEX costs. It helps our customers better manage their business costs, cash flow and monthly budgets, which are critical success factors for start-ups as well as established SMBs", Lincoln added.

Etisalat's Business Quick Start solution allows SMBs to choose from various flexible payment options like 0% or 25% or 50% upfront and balance on easy monthly instalments. Depending on the package subscribed to, customers can also opt for additional devices with lucrative payment options on a 24 or 36-month contractual basis.
