Why Lease?

1

When leasing you will get your equipment straight away, rather than when budgets allow.

2

A lease option is simple and safe – with the fixed cost throughout the lease period there will be no changes or unpredictability to watch out for.

3

Your business can stay up-to-date with the latest equipment! Leasing provides you with the option of upgrading the equipment at any stage throughout the agreement by simply restructuring the payment schedule.

4

Offset 100% of the rentals against your tax liability to maximise tax efficiency.
