Refurbishing and re-use tech company seek funds for expansion | Spartan Global Services

With the second hand IT market rapidly growing, and increasing even further due to increased remote working and schooling, Spartan Global Services’ business has been growing exponentially. With 20 years of experience refurbishing second-hand IT hardware, mobiles and laptops, they aim to avoid harming the environment by reducing the disposal of toxic battery chemicals and heavy metals. They are now seeking funds to purchase second-hand hardware, hire more staff and expand their e-commerce platform.

Keeping tech green and reducing the digital divide - globally.

We are an environmentally conscious company seeking to reduce waste by giving people access to as good as new refurbished IT equipment from second-hand hardware. To achieve this, we’ve established an accessible, online to consumer channel, where our customers can easily purchase reconditioned laptops, mobiles, and refurbished IT hardware. We also have vast experience in disposing of hardware safely that is no longer reusable. Our company holds a zero-waste policy and any item that is no longer useable gets sent to an authorised treatment facility, where it is pulled apart and granulated for further use.

We are incredibly proud to be a part of the circular IT and electronics economy and ecosystem. By being a part of this economy we are able to get the most out of existing products whilst adding benefits to carbon reduction and carbon neutralisation. We are extending the original carbon footprint used instead of restarting a new one from a newly created item, which creates detrimental problems to our environment.

After an exceptional amount of growth in the past 3 years, demand is still growing and has in fact increased due to an escalation in remote working. Furthermore, we have had a consistent 100% year on year growth for the past 3 years. Our IT hardware has doubled in performance every 18 months, exceeding the expectations of our consumers.

The second-hand market has been growing and we are incredibly proud to be a part of it and help drive it. Since the start of the pandemic, it has continued to be the preferred choice for over 80% of consumers.

We’ve been successful in developing strong relationships with international businesses and are now expanding our mobile phone operations. We’ll be expanding into less developed markets such as India and Africa to help reduce the digital divide across the world - therefore enabling those who are less fortunate to have access to information, financial services and education.

It’s been an amazing journey for us and we hope that you can be a part of it as we continue to grow. The funds raised for this campaign will go towards purchasing second-hand hardware, staff recruitment and website development.

Investor awards are a part of our Spartan Shields loyalty scheme, which you can find out more about on our website.
