SKIBBEREEN Tool Hire have come up with a solution to aid small businesses and households to complete unfinished tasks with a special payment plan on all hired equipment over €250.
With a clampdown on support from banks to lend money to home and business owners, Skibbereen Tool Hire have decided to take the matter in to their own hands by introducing staged payment for customers who may not otherwise be in a position to hire the equipment required to begin new projects or complete unfinished tasks.
Speaking of the new initiative, Vincent Hurley, owner of Skibbereen Tool Hire said, “We decided to offer people the option of staged payments for equipment over ten months to free up some cash for those who may be struggling to get work completed either at home or in their businesses.
“With banks less inclined to approve loans these days I felt it was time that we did something to help out customers who are feeling the pressure.
“We have machines here that are needed but people may not be in a position to pay upfront for hiring them so staged payments is the perfect solution.
“We will work together with customers to set up a payment scheme over a period of ten months or less.
“This will allow our customers to get their work done and allow us to hopefully generate more business to get things moving once more.”
He continued, “Times have changed and sometimes you need to change with the times so I am delighted to be able to offer our customers the option of staged payments.”
Congratulations to Skibbereen Tool Hire on launching your new payment scheme to get the job done!
Small business initiative is the road to prosperity.
If banks were run as independent small businesses too, with success or failure depending on their own lending prudence, steady money would be easier to come by, and investments would more likely succeed.
The “moral hazard” of the bailout merely promotes reckless lending, with big banks keeping their earnings and getting their friends in government to pay for their losses by taxing the people. What a grand program – for them!
Aren’t governments supposed to be like independent “referees,” punishing fraud? Surely, they can’t play in the game as well?
But it seems they do. And when the referees get in the game, they can tax you, they can print money, they can outlaw competition with themselves; they can “invest” your money, taken by force of taxation; they can go on losing your money, practically forever; they can give jobs to their friends and supporters regardless of merit; they can deny their employees the benefit of a healthy, learning, competitive environment, – and they can prosecute you.
What kind of “neutral” refereeing is that?
Will they blow the whistle themselves?
No. And the electorate takes it on the chin, regardless of who’s in power.
We could just call this an academic exercise, a study of global democracies, a review of the character of elected officials – if it weren’t for the exodus youth, the parting of generations, the local playing fields….
More power to you, Skibbereen Tool Hire!
You’re a banker worthy of the name.
Lend wisely.
Share your profits with the needy.
Nobody can do it better.
