For many organisations, the purchase of a new multi-function printer will be a necessity for growth. Continuing to use outdated devices can lead to increases in down-time and sluggish processes, whereas investing in the latest technology can boost efficiency and productivity.
Two traditional methods of purchasing photocopier equipment are paying with cash or securing a loan. Depending on the organisation, choosing to pay with cash can be a potential risk; by delving into your cash reserves to purchase print technology, this could impact your business elsewhere. Similarly, securing a loan has its negatives, not least their availability, excessive paperwork and interest rates.
Consequently, leasing is increasingly attracting businesses as a hassle-free and affordable way of investing in the latest technology to stay competitive. Ultimately, leasing is a great option for those who want to ensure that their business is at the forefront of technological innovation, without the large outlay that inevitable accompanies the procurement of new equipment.
By leasing, you benefit from immediate use of the equipment without the full cost upfront, allowing you to keep your working capital intact. With regular fixed payments, it’s easy to spread the cost – and budget accordingly.
Taking advantage of leasing options ensures your business always has the latest print technology available. Devices can age quickly, so when you purchase new equipment you run the risk of being left with an outdated device sooner than you can afford to replace it. Of course, leased devices aren’t immune to becoming obsolete – but if they do, it is a lot simpler and cost effective to replace them for the newest technology.
