Benefit Systems will allocate 20 million PLN on helping sports facility owners who want to modernise their existing facilities or construct new facilities. The purpose of the loan programme is to support current and potential Benefit Systems Partners and strengthen the domestic fitness sector.
"By launching a loan programme we want to give our Partners a tool to aid their rapid growth and expand their business. Their success also means the growth of Benefit Systems, which in turn leads to increased satisfaction with MultiSport card users. We want to strengthen the development of the fitness industry, help to open new sports facilities and provide innovative solutions that meet the needs of the growing number of physically active Poles" says Wojciech Szwarc, director of the Partner Relations Department at Benefit Systems, responsible for the Partner Support Programme.
The Partner Support Programme offers loans to Partners operating fitness clubs (gyms and fitness facilities) and other sports facilities, who have worked with Benefit Systems continuously for at least 12 months, hold a positive opinion from the Fair Play Programme and report a stable financial position. Any interested Partner, managing a fitness club or other sports facility, who submits the necessary documentation and meets the terms and conditions set out in the Programme's Regulations, will be eligible for a loan to modernise a club or open another facility. The programme was planned for 2017 with the possibility of its continuation in subsequent years.
"So far, as part of their cooperation with Benefit Systems, our Partners have benefited from numerous training projects that have strengthened their qualifications, including with regards to strategic management. We can now add the Partner Support Programme to our development offer, which will financially assist them in their growth. This is a very important project for us, because we are very interested in the success of our Partners" Wojciech Szwarc explains.
