SGC, identiMetrics partner for school funding

Wednesday, January 7, 2009

Structured Growth Capital, a corporate financing firm, has partnered up with identiMetrics, a biometrics developer that specializes in providing fingerprint scanners for schools, to provide school districts with funding for obtaining and installing identiMetrics fingerprint solutions.

SGC is approaching the partnership offering school districts alternative financing that enables organizations to purchase expensive products and services with no money down and customized payments.

The partnership arose partly from reports of schools losing funding for technology upgrades due to economic woes. IdentiMetrics maintains that investing in their equipment can be a very smart move for a school as it smooths operations for the free and reduced lunch programs as well as saves money. [end]
