Leasing
A company's instinct is often to buy business computer equipment, but after comparing the pros and cons you may find leasing the correct business decision for your situation.
Buying versus leasing. For most, hearing that phrase triggers a vehicle purchase, but for more and more small business owners that term applies to computers.
There are several reasons to consider leasing instead of "ponying up" cash for new equipment.
Positive reasons to lease
- Leasing prevents paying big chunks of capital upfront. This can help a company’s cash flow management, particularly a start-up or rapidly growing company. So, instead, the cost of having the computers becomes an operating expense.
- Another financial advantage is that by leasing directly from Plains Technology, a small business owner need not seek a loan -- with all the paperwork and the hassle of getting a loan.
- The usual lease runs about three years, which is about the same time that technology usually gets upgraded. That way, a company isn’t caught behind the times, hanging onto an out-of-date computer or operating system.
- Since many small companies don’t have a large IT staff, they can’t spare anyone’s time -- much less the money that their time is worth to service computers to get them repaired.
- When you lease a computer, Plains Technology is providing you the leased equipment, is responsible in keeping up with the latest developments -- leaving your company to focus on its primary business.
- Computer equipment depreciates rather quickly, and it’s no fun pouring one’s money into an asset that loses value in order to update it.
