Although
Yandell and Company is an equipment financing and leasing company, for
several years now, we have been financing end user software purchases.
Many corporations balk at the idea of writing large checks for software
products. By financing the purchase, these corporations free up much
needed cash that can be used for other projects. Recently, Yandell took
a further step when we realized that the major component of e-commerce
websites is actually software. We are now offering website financing,
and have partnered with fellow Globonder, Yao-Hui Huang and her website
development company Gigapixel Creative to provide financing to her
clients.

We are
delighted to offer this service, but given the nature of the
collateral, our requirements are fairly strict.

Globonder Samia Bahsoun read Etsko's book on the plane on her way to Egypt. Here is what she has to say about it:  Etsko Schuitema’s book, “Intent: Exploring the
Core of Being Human” could be easily re-entitled: “A recipe for evolution”
where maturity, scaled from birth to death,  takes a whole new meaning.  Through
a series of well articulated distinctions and paradigm shifts, Etsko progressively
takes the student through an “intent” based growth model, where
time as we know it no longer exists, a model  aimed at altering  our
world’s “all about me” mindset for freedom sake.

design, tailoring and image consulting, Rodney is the right Globonder to keep
