                                BANK LINE OF CREDIT

                             CREDIT FACILITY TO PROVIDE
                        ADDITIONAL FINANCING FOR ACQUISITIONS

DALLAS, Texas (March 25, 1999) - Precept Business Services, Inc. ("PBSI"), the
nation's largest independent distributor of printed business products and
document management services and one of the largest providers of corporate
personnel transportation services in the United States, today announced that it
has completed a $40 million line of credit facility with a banking syndicate led
by Bank One, one of the country's leading money center banks.

This $40 million secured facility will be available to Precept based on its
annual pro-forma cash flows.  Precept plans to use the facility to finance
acquisitions as it continues to consolidate two highly fragmented business
service industries -- business products distribution and corporate personnel
transportation.  In addition, the facility will be available for general
corporate purposes.  Precept intends to increase the size of the facility in the
future as it continues to execute its industry consolidation strategy and
generate internal growth opportunities.

"This new and expanded bank facility will permit Precept to continue its
aggressive growth-by-acquisition strategy in the next year," stated David Neely,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Precept Business Services, Inc.
"Precept plans on pursuing acquisitions in the business and printed products
distribution segments of the business products industry and in the town car and
limousine transportation segment of the corporate transportation industry.  We
are pleased to have two national banking institutions, Bank One and Wells Fargo,
participating with Precept as we pursue our strategic objectives."

"During the past twelve months, Precept has acquired six printed business
products distribution companies and five corporate transportation companies.
These acquisitions have contributed to our 65% growth in annualized revenue.
With a combination of cash financing from our banks, seller notes and common
stock, Precept has been able to effectively execute its acquisition strategy,
and the new bank line will allow us to pick up the pace of acquisitions in the
future," concluded Mr. Neely.

"Bank One is pleased to take the lead position in providing capital that will
allow Precept to continue its record of strong growth," said Cory Olson,
Managing Director with Bank One Capital Markets.

Precept Business Services, Inc. is the nation's largest nationwide independent
distributor of




printed business products and document management services.  The Company also
provides corporate transportation services in Texas, New York, New Jersey, Ohio
and Michigan.  Recent acquisitions have diversified the Company's revenue base
and positioned Precept as a consolidator within the $20 billion business
products and document management services industry, and the $12 billion
corporate transportation industry.  The Company is headquartered in Dallas,
Texas and its common stock is traded on Nasdaq under the symbol "PBSI".
