Short-term leasing will cost more in the long run than long-term leasing, but it may be an option if you aren’t sure if your business will ‘take off,’ or if you aren’t sure how much copying you will do. By going this route, you’ll have time to evaluate your usage for a month or two, giving you the opportunity to upgrade your machine if necessary at a later date.

Long-term photocopier leasing allows you to save money by releasing the capital that you would have spent if you acquired your device outright, allowing you to focus this money elsewhere. It also ensures that your company stays current by allowing you to update your photocopier during the lease period.

Instead of being locked with an ageing appliance which can’t perform as well as it once did, is now outdated, and isn’t up to the task, leasing allows you to always have the most modern and energy efficient copiers at your disposal. To be a successful business, you must constantly innovate and change, which often necessitates updating your equipment.

When deciding whether to buy or lease an office copier, most businesses consider four major factors: cost, convenience, servicing and maintenance, and upgrading to the latest technology. When these factors are considered together, it is clear that photocopier leasing is the better option. It frees up working capital, valuable time, and resources, allowing businesses to focus on their core business rather than getting sidetracked by office equipment management.
