If you’re buying expensive equipment or machinery, paying upfront can put a serious dent in your cash reserves. And what are you left with in five years? Usually a seriously depreciated asset that isn’t much use any more.

When you rent or lease your equipment you get to keep your cash for better things. It takes the strain off your cash flow and when working with your accountant or legal advisor, usually results in a 100% tax break and a healthier balance sheet. Better still, it means you don’t have to compromise on quality – you can afford the best.

In most cases, rental payments don’t appear as balance sheet liabilities. The monthly rentals are treated as an operating expense and are generally considered 100% tax deductible. Not only that, as an expense item, these payments may fall outside of annual capital budget allocations and the arrangement may result in improved balance sheet ratios. Naturally, you should check with your accountant or legal advisor first.

You can bundle the cost of ancillary equipment into your rental or lease. Hardware, software, maintenance, cabling and training can be included in the one affordable facility. It means you can afford a better all-round solution and may even improve your negotiating position with suppliers.

Our rental and leasing contracts give you flexibility at every stage. From the start, we can structure an operating lease or a rental contract which matches the useful life of your equipment.
