Financial support from Blue Media
Important information for online stores which use Blue Media Online Payment System! From now on, the company in cooperation with the brutto.pl service offers the possibility to obtain financial support. A maximum of 50 thousand PLN, maximum 15-month repayment period, total cost of 15% financing - these are the rules of taking advantage of the financing offer in the revenue-based financing model.
The terms and conditions? There is only one - eCommerce must show that in a minimum of the last three months, transactions were carried out in its store via Blue Media. The amount of support depends on the current turnover and financial performance of an eCommerce store. An interesting solution is also adjustment of repayments in daily cycles to the current turnover - if e-store has lower or higher profit in a given month, the nominal installments will be adjusted to it.
