Leasing a printer can be an economic choice for businesses of all sizesNowadays more and more businesses are leasing their print equipment. Whereas in the past the only option was to buy, leasing now offers a cost-effective solution for organisations that offers many benefits over buying printers outright.

Reduces working capital tied up in technology
Leasing your printers reduces the cash you have invested in technology and also frees up valuable resources that that can be invested in other key business areas, such as inventory. This may be particularly beneficial to small businesses and start-ups who may have limited funds available.

Reduces the impact of technology becoming obsolete
Technology is quickly updated and old systems frequently cannot keep up with new business goals and opportunities. On the other hand, new business goals can quickly make equipment obsolete. Initial equipment costs may be met with further costs when the technology’s capabilities no longer meet company requirements, and new equipment must be purchased. This cost must be budgeted which reduces the amount of currency available to immediate business needs. Printer leasing is a smart way to deal with these costs before they arise.

Mismatched requirements are a thing of the past
Equipment suitability can be initially assessed through research, but this is no substitute for installation and trial. Large initial outlays are massively risky when even efficiency cannot be assured. Printer leasing reduces this risk for two reasons: leasing companies have experience with a variety of business models and equipment, and in the event of a mismatch the equipment can be switched with minimal cost.

Pro-active management
To ensure the capabilities of your equipment are always in line with your business needs, most equipment lessors offer pro-active management. This is particularly useful for companies that engage in seasonal or project work, providing resource flexibility without additional cost. Professional lessors are also able to predict a company’s changing requirements, and suggest more suitable equipment as part of the leasing cost.

Reduced repair costs
The high cost of equipment purchase is frequently compounded by considerable repair costs. Many lessors include maintenance services – which may also incorporate consumables - in the leasing package. Breakdown of printing facilities can significantly affect company efficiency, and there is no guarantee the solution can be found in-house. Maintenance packages reduce equipment downtime as lessors have specialist access to both replacement parts and engineers.

Leasing a fully-featured office printer can be far cheaper than you imagineBuying a printer seems like the logical choice if you need to expand your office's print productivity. However, you're probably put off by the huge initial outlay, the ongoing maintenance costs and the leering threat of pricey consumables. If these are genuine concerns, consider leasing a Xerox Printer.

In the last few years, printer leasing has become a very popular alternative to buying a printer outright. It holds several advantages that will suit businesses of all sizes:

• No initial outlay: With no device to buy, there's no initial cost that must be borne. In fact, you never have to fork out a lump sum, just monthly payments for the life of your contract. That means the cash you've saved can be reinvested into other business areas, such as recruitment. And with leases ranging from twelve months to 5 years, you get exactly what you need at a price you can afford.
• Ease of upgrading: Business print needs changed? No problem - get in contact and we'll find you a more suitable product. In fact, we will pro-actively suggest upgrades to you to keep you up to date with the industry as a whole.
• No regrets: When you buy a printer and install it, there's inevitably a period of road testing before you know if it suits your needs. What happens if it doesn't? Well, you may have to sell it off at a loss. But with printer leasing, if it's not suitable we provide you with a different device until we find one that's perfect for you.
• Integrated repair costs: Maintenance costs are expensive. If you own your own printer and it breaks down, you have to wait for an engineer to be dispatched, all the while suffering from limited or no print capabilities. Once the printer has been fixed, you may be slapped with a huge bill for parts and labour. Maintenance is included in the printer leasing price - and some packages even include consumables - so you have only one monthly cost that will never spike unexpectedly.
• Seasonal or project work: It may be that for a two week period you need production equipment to deal with a one-off project. Buying the printer wouldn't be cost-effective, but with printer leasing you can take up a special short-term contract that delivers what you need, when you need it.

Printer leasing is particularly beneficial to small businesses or start-ups who may have limited cash to spend. It's also a great choice for companies with requirements that frequently change.
