When you discover the benefits of leasing, you’ll be prepared to make more informed decisions about how your copiers and other business technology can help you reach your business goals. Leasing an office copier can offer multiple advantages that go beyond cost savings. By opting for a lease, you can gain access to state-of-the-art technology, enhance your operational efficiency and maintain a competitive edge in your industry.

In addition, leasing reduces the risk of equipment obsolescence and avoids large, upfront financial investments that can strain your budget. Leasing agreements also often include maintenance and repair services, ensuring that your copier is in working condition with minimal downtime. This not only streamlines your workflow but also allows your IT team to focus on core business activities rather than dealing with time-consuming copier issues.

Here’s what you’ll need to know: 

With flexible terms and the ability to upgrade to newer models as your business grows, leasing office copiers can be a strategic decision that supports your long-term goals and adapts to your evolving needs.

Copier Leasing Basics

Leasing an office copier is a great option for businesses that want to avoid the hefty upfront costs associated with purchasing equipment outright. When you lease, you essentially rent the copier for a specified period, typically between three to five years. This arrangement allows you to use the latest technology without the burden of depreciation.

At the end of the lease term, businesses usually have options to either return the copier, upgrade to a newer model, or purchase the equipment. This flexibility can be particularly beneficial for companies that anticipate changes in their printing needs or forecast upcoming advancements in technology.

The Benefits of Leasing Your Office Copier

One of the primary benefits of leasing office copiers is cost control. Monthly lease payments are often more manageable than a large financial investment, helping you maintain cash flow and budget more effectively. Additionally, lease payments can often be deducted as a business expense, providing potential tax advantages.

Leasing also allows businesses to stay current with technology. Office equipment can become outdated quickly, but leasing enables you to upgrade to the latest models without significant financial strain. Furthermore, many leasing agreements include maintenance and service, ensuring that your copier remains in excellent working condition without additional costs.

Key Questions to Ask Before Signing a Lease

Before deciding to lease an office copier, it's crucial to ask the right questions to ensure you make an informed decision. Here are some key questions to consider:

  1. Who will be servicing the lease? (e.g., in-house or third-party)
  2. What is the length of the lease term and what will the monthly payments be?
  3. Is maintenance and service included in the lease agreement? Is just-in-time toner replenishment an available option?
  4. What happens at the end of the lease term? Are there options to upgrade, purchase or return the equipment?
  5. Are there any penalties for early termination of the lease?

Once you have answers to these questions, you’ll be able to better determine if a lease agreement for copiers (and/or other business equipment) will be a good budgetary decision for your business.
