history and purpose
In 1981 when the ICT industry saw the birth of Spartan, things were a bit different than they are today. When it started, Spartan was just a small business specialized in renting electrical equipment. With the rapid evolution of the electronics era, Spartan rapidly evolved into a computer rental company. At that time, the company was privately owned.
Later, KPA Asset Based Finance acquired Spartan as part of its strategy to expand. Because KPA was eager to focus on the technology rental market, Spartan was the perfect choice. Spartan is known as a rental financing specialist offering an impressive list of services. The core services are sourcing of assets, support and maintenance, insurance, and technology upgrades for old equipment. As technology obsolescence cycles shorten, these services are in increasing demand. Today, Spartan services customers of all sizes, from small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs) to government departments, parastatal organizations, and large corporate organizations. However, Spartan is primarily focused and geared to take on SMME business.
Unlike its competitors in the IT rental financing segment, Spartan offers its customers a unique feature: Asset Life Cycle Management from acquisition of assets to their disposal. This is done with Spartan’s purpose in mind, which is “Spartan seeks to empower people by providing easy, affordable, and innovative access to essential technology.” Couple this to Spartan’s vision : “We at Spartan strive to be the best technology rental company on the market and to supply equipment to the entire SMME segment.” and you have the foundations of an organization perfectly geared and motivated to service your equipment rental needs.
