TIME FOR NEW OFFICE EQUIPMENT? HERE'S YOUR CHECKLIST!

With each new office equipment acquisition, business leaders have a checklist of decisions to ponder. Your office equipment provider will be happy to guide you through each step of the decision-making process, and you may be surprised at the new technologies that have emerged since your last upgrade.

Here are a few tips for beginning your search.

• Do you need a network printer or a multifunction system?
• Do you need a printer that can handle higher volumes due to company growth?
• Is your current page-per-minute output fast enough?
• What new technologies are available to improve office productivity?
• How much is currently available in your budget for office equipment?
• Should you lease or buy?

LEASE OR BUY?

There are advantages to both leasing and buying your new laser printers and copiers. Let’s take a quick look at each option.

Purchasing your equipment outright puts your company in control of the decisions you’ll make throughout its useful service life.

• You decide how often to replace parts and when to perform routine maintenance.
• When it’s time to upgrade, you can sell the office equipment or repurpose it to another department.
• You can decide whether to purchase a service agreement or forgo the option.
• On the downside, you may keep the device longer than you should, missing out on some new technologies.

Leasing office equipment has caught on among businesses large and small. Here’s a look at the benefits.

• The office equipment provider will take on maintenance and repair responsibilities.
• You won’t need to funnel operating capital into an equipment purchase.
• Uniform monthly payments and no large cash outlay make budgeting less difficult.
• Upgrading a lease to acquire new features is often easier than purchasing.
• Lease payments may qualify as tax-deductible operating expenses.
