Lease your system over 3 and 5 year terms

We have packages available that allow for 100%
financing, as well as funding for new start-ups.

Upgrade options

The flexibility of leasing allows your business to keep up with changes in technology and respond to any industry or competitive pressures. In many cases, by extending the length of the lease, changes to your original installation can be achieved without an increase to your payments.

Payment profiles

Payments can be made on a monthly, quarterly, stepped or deferred basis. They can be set to suit your budgets, roll-out schedules and/or cash flow requirements.

100% financing

No deposit is necessary and, in most cases, all of the costs of a solution can be covered in your payments, including all hardware, software, installation and maintenance. We can even finance equipment and services from a variety of suppliers, thereby simplifying your payments.

"Whether you're from the private
or public sector, leasing is a highly cost-effective method of funding capital equipment."

Conserves cash reserves

Leasing enables you to acquire the solution you need, without making a substantial lump sum cash payment. This can then be used to better effect elsewhere in your business – such as product development, new staff or new business opportunities.

Tax efficient

If you pay corporation tax, leasing can be particularly attractive. Payments may be deducted from taxable profits so the net cost of leasing the equipment is reduced.

Fixed payments

Payments are fixed for the term of the lease, protecting you from changing interest rates. Knowing the amount of future payments enables more accurate budgeting and cash flow projections. And because payments are fixed, the true cost of leasing diminishes over time as the value of money depreciates.

Keep credit lines intact

When you lease equipment existing credit lines, such as any arrangements with your bank, remain intact. This gives you the additional flexibility to use these arrangements, if necessary, in the future.

Leasing in a nutshell...

What is leasing?

Leasing is a contract between the funder (lessor) and a customer (lessee), giving the customer the use of the equipment in return for payment of rentals over an agreed period. The lessor retains ownership of the asset, which means that the customer pays to use the equipment over a set period of time – typically the agreed working life of the equipment. At the end of the lease, ownership can be transferred to the lessee through a peppercorn payment, normally equivalent to a further months fees.

What can be leased?

The range of equipment that can be leased is vast. From telephone systems, IT, vending and digital imaging equipment through to the complex medical equipment found in hospitals and your dentist’s chair – all this equipment, and much more, can be leased.

Who leases?

Practically every sector of the British economy takes advantage of the various benefits of leasing, from sole traders and partnerships through to plcs, non-profit and public sector organisations.
Some 90% of the FTSE 100 companies now lease their capital equipment.
