TORONTO (Ont.) & BURNSVILLE (Minn.) September 28, 2011
Data Sales Co., a full-service lessor with a history in information technology hardware that spans nearly four decades, announced the opening of its Canadian subsidiary, headquartered in Toronto. With offices in Minnesota, Texas and Arizona, the opening of Data Sales Co. of Canada in Toronto expands the firm’s North American market presence. Moreover, it enables Data Sales Co. to meet the needs of small, fast growing companies throughout Canada by offering them custom leases allowing them to retain their equity.

“We are thrilled to be expanding into Canada”, said Bob Breckner, Vice President of Leasing for Data Sales Co. “The opening of offices in Canada will allow us to better serve our current customer base and provide a large growth opportunity in a market that we feel is poised to expand rapidly”.

Data Sales Co. provides the option to lease IT and networking equipment, avoiding the need for a lot of upfront capital and helping to align cash flow with revenue growth. Its mantra is that this enables the owners of small firms to keep their equity and avoid selling stakes in the company until the firm is larger and can attract a higher valuation. Saving a dollar of equity now could be worth a lot more later on. An added benefit of leasing is that the process is relatively quick, so equipment can be in place rapidly and can scale quickly as the business grows.
