Top Five Reasons to Lease
Be competitive and productive
Leasing enables you to stay on top of technological advances to help you maximize productivity and effectiveness. You don’t bear the risks of using obsolete technology and the hassle of complying with e-waste disposal regulations.
Predictable expenses
You’ll spread costs across the lifetime of your solution, replacing large upfront expenses with lower monthly payments. Monthly (or other periodic) payments can be tailored to budget levels or revenue streams. Depending upon the lease structure and your business situation, you may qualify for tax and accounting advantages as well (consult your tax professional).
Ability to bundle costs
Lease financing can cover all aspects of your solution, including hardware, software and services, from all vendors.
Lower upfront cost
You can acquire the solution you need right now, even if your current budget won’t allow an outright cash purchase. Lease financing may preserve working capital and existing credit lines, freeing up cash for other operational expenses.
Flexible pay structures
Lease financing provides flexibility that up-front purchasing does not offer, such as: 100% financing with no money down, payment structures that match cash flows or business cycles and a variety of end-of-lease options.
