Why Consider Leasing Your IT Equipment?

Many organisations use technology leasing as a way to conserve capital

Technology can be expensive and typically competes for capital funding with other investment or expenditure opportunities. Due to its inherent flexibility, leasing offers innovative ways to acquire IT equipment that can reduce much of the risk and uncertainty in purchasing new technology and increase the leverage of a company’s operating budget.

The benefits of leasing

• Technological currency. With flexible mid-lease and end-of-lease options, it’s easier to upgrade your equipment and help ensure you stay abreast of changing technologies and protect against obsolescence.
• Conservation of capital. Conserve capital for investment in your business rather than in the infrastructure required to run it.
• Operating expense versus capital expense. Dependent on local accounting and tax standards, the majority of technology leases can qualify as operating leases, making the payments operating rather than capital expenditures.
• Payment flexibility. Many leases provide payment flexibility tailored to your specific cash flow or budgetary requirements.
• Upgrade flexibility. Leasing can provide additional flexibility when normal growth or new demands require you to consider upgrading an asset.
• Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Leasing helps control costs that contribute to the growing TCO of most client-server systems. (Costs such as acquisition, implementation, training, maintenance, change and problem management, and asset management).
