Become reseller | Octopus Microfinance

Thanks for your interest in becoming Value-Added Reseller of Octopus Microfinance.

Our work with Value-Added Resellers is simple: we recommend consultants to our clients and we send interested clients to our consultants. The client pays us for the Octopus Software maintenance and pays the VAR for implementation, training, data migration and on-site support. We are not looking for sales people, we want microfinance experts with strong IT background, who understand microfinance business, have an in-depth understanding of our software, and can add value to our product.

The aim of this questionnaire is to assess whether you can become Octopus VAR. If you think you fit the criteria above, please return this questionnaire, we will be happy to study opportunities with you to become VAR in your area.
