Is it time to upgrade your photocopier or get a new photocopier lease agreement?

Happy new year & welcome to 2017.

Unfortunately, time to return to the office… will there be the inevitable problems with computer glitches?  Will the office photocopier or printer still function when it's needed most?  Will you need to call the photocopier repair man 20 minutes after entering the office?  Hopefully, none of these scenarios will occur, but in case they do, take the advice of every good Scout and…. 'Be Prepared!'

Should the worst happen and you need to consider photocopier repairs or printer maintenance services, or you are looking at buying or leasing a new photocopier, then you need to ensure you call Paragon for the very best price but also the best service.

Consider photocopier leasing rather than buying, it works out cheaper

Photocopier leasing or printer rental can be a viable, cost effective way of meeting your copying needs, rather than outright purchase.  In leasing, you can help to spread the cost of ownership and also ensure that everything continues to run smoothly, as many leases include a maintenance plan.  Generally leases refer to a longer term rental period, whereas short term photocopier rental is certainly more flexible, but expect to pay more than you would for a normal lease. 

A few benefits of leasing include;

• Tax Efficiency

Leasing is more tax efficient than outright buying.  When buying, companies usually write this off as a capital expense and can therefore only claim a certain percentage of this back against profits, whilst copier leasing/rental agreements can be 100% offset against pre-tax profits.  

• Fixed Costs

When you rent or lease your photocopier or printer, there's a fixed, monthly cost, agreed with your supplier, making it easier to factor into your yearly budgeting. Leasing contracts often include the costs of installation, maintenance, other office equipment and even staff training, which further reduces your capital outlay.

• No Capital Outlay

Often the prospect of spending thousands of pounds on a new photocopier isn't feasible for many companies, especially if they are keeping a close eye on their cash flow.  In today's financial climate it is important to preserve your credit, making leasing agreements the tool to help you to reduce the risks involved with large capital expenditures.

• Ability to upgrade

As your business grows, your need to keep abreast with technology grows too. If you lease rather than buy your copier, many suppliers allow you to upgrade to a more 'up market' model to meet your demands.  Expect an increase in your monthly costs, although you won't need to worry about finding the capital to finance a new machine or have the hassle of selling the old one!

• Flexible lease period

Good suppliers offer lease periods from anywhere between 1 to 5 years and will tailor this to suit your requirements. Short term hire agreements of 6 months and below should also be available for businesses that have more temporary needs.

• Can I buy or lease the machine at the end of the hire period?
• Does the cost include service and support and do you offer free delivery and installation?
• In the event of a breakdown how quickly can you get out to fix it and are all technicians fully trained?

The saying, 'a little knowledge goes a long way', proves so very true in many ways, but particularly when your hard-earned cash is involved.  In following the points above you won't go far wrong and you'll be able to enjoy that first day back in the office.
