Financing Business School

Preserving liquidity and widening access to business schools with PrestaFlex solutions

Every year, business schools in Switzerland and Europe attract ambitious students ready to invest in their future. Yet one persistent problem hinders their development: high tuition fees, often ranging from CHF 10,000 to CHF 100,000 per student, represent a major barrier.

For many families and retraining professionals, paying such a large sum in one go is difficult, if not impossible. For the schools, this means lost enrolments, students giving up for lack of financing solutions, and sometimes complicated internal management when they themselves accept instalment payments. Some business schools end up "playing the role of the bank" by offering payment in instalments, which puts a strain on their cash flow and generates collection risk.

A "Buy Now, Pay Later" model

PrestaFlex proposes an innovative solution: transform these tuition fees into affordable monthly instalments through structured financing. The school receives its money quickly, while the student can spread the payment over several months or years, depending on his or her financial capacity.

This approach, inspired by the Buy Now, Pay Later concept, applies here to a sector where the amounts are much higher, but where the logic remains the same: to make education accessible without weakening the institution's finances.

Advantages for the business school

Immediate collection: the school receives full payment from the outset, improving cash flow and securing revenue.
Reduced risk: payment follow-up is handled by PrestaFlex, avoiding unpaid fees and the administrative burden of collection.
Commercial flexibility: by offering a monthly payment plan, the school broadens its market and attracts students who would not otherwise be able to pay in one lump sum.
Competitive advantage: in a highly competitive sector, offering flexible payment options can make all the difference and attract a wider national and international clientele.
