Is leasing IT products the right option for you?
For a new business, equipping your staff with the right tools to work is essential. For example, if you’re running a high-speed news firm that constantly updates every five minutes with the latest in breaking news, then handing your staff a Windows 95 computer on a 56k dial-up connection is completely inappropriate. Similarly, if you’re a video-editing firm and your staff are using netbooks…then perhaps video-editing isn’t for you.
Understandably, bulk purchasing brand new, high-spec computers with bundles of RAM and processing power comes at a high price – a price that becomes out of reach for most SMEs. However, bulk purchasing doesn’t have to be the way forward.
Leasing computers, monitors, tablets and software is becoming increasingly popular with business owners – and for good reason. It is an affordable method of acquiring high quality computers at affordable prices.
How much you pay depends on the company and the length of the lease. Most decent leasing firms will allow one – five year contracts along with the option of annual, quarterly or event monthly payments, allowing for even the tightest businesses to lease out high-quality technology.
Who knows how important leasing out IT products could become? For a news firm, handing out employee iPads for the journeys to and from work could allow staff to read up on the latest news stories before hitting the office. Likewise, for a video-editing company, powerful laptops could be taken home in order to catch up on work that couldn’t be finished in the studio.
IT Leasing isn’t just for outside the office, however. Businesses can benefit internally from department tablets, high-specification desktop computers, powerful Apple Macs and much more.
Whether you’re a small businesses running from home or a medium enterprise with a wealth of staff, then leasing your IT products might be the right option for you.
