Think of your business goals this year – is even one of them NOT supported by technology? Like most small and midsize businesses, you likely understand the strategic importance that technology plays in your operations. Your practical side, however, weighs the cost of upgrading your systems and adopting cutting-edge business enablers. Now ponder this…what’s the cost of doing nothing?
Lease equipment to fast-track your business goals
Increasingly, Canadian businesses are fast-tracking their business goals by leasing equipment they need to support them. It can be a cost-effective way to accelerate plans without tying up cash for other resources. Here’s why…
- No upfront costs or deposit
- Lease expenses are recorded as tax-deductible operating expenses rather than a capital expenditures (ditch the long, complicated capital cost schedule)
- No effect on lines of credit or bank debt ratios
If you’re planning to expand into new markets, grow your operations, or improve your customer experience, leasing equipment – and even service bundles – might be the best way to quickly get game-changing technology working for you. Virtually all hardware, like laptops, servers, and networking equipment, can be leased. It may cost more over the long term but at the end of the lease you’re not burdened with obsolete equipment. When the lease is up, you can often purchase the equipment or start another lease on new (and possibly cheaper) technology.
