While outright purchasing a printer may require higher upfront costs, you’ll save money in the long-term because you won’t be obligated to make monthly lease payments over the span of many years.

If your small business is strategic when it comes to decision-making, you’ll come to see how this is a long-term business investment. Not to mention, you will own the technology, meaning should you decide to upgrade or sell it in the future, you can recover some of your initial investment.

The cost of printer leasing depends on the type of machine you require and the length of the lease. We will always aim to find a machine that fits with your budget and has the functions you require for your business. Get in touch with us today for a free accurate quote for your business.

The length of a copier rental obviously depends on the needs of the business.

If the needs are occasional, a short-term rental is more than sufficient. For daily and regular use, it is advisable to opt for a long-term rental contract. It is generally recommended not to take out a contract exceeding four years. Beyond that, it is better to start off on a new contract with new prices than to be bound by a rental contract which no longer meets the needs of the business and can hardly be renegotiated.

Prices of photocopiers vary greatly depending on a number of factors:
