When it comes time to get a new Konica Minolta business copier, you may start to feel overwhelmed with the vast number of options. One important factor you will need to consider early in the process is whether you want to engage in business copier leasing. While every business scenario is as different as the materials you’ll print on your business copier, there are some fundamental aspects of leasing that will help you make your decision.
Leasing Enables You to Always Have Up-to-Date Equipment.
As your business continues to grow, so do your printing needs. By opting to lease your state-of-the-art business copier with all the bells and whistles you currently need, you’ll be able to easily upgrade to the next generation business copier at the end of that lease. Often times when small business owners choose to buy a business copier instead of leasing one, they keep the copier for many years beyond what a lease agreement would have required. As a result, the older, purchased copier doesn’t have the capability to handle all the new demands of your current projects you might find yourself having to outsource your printing and finishing needs. That doesn’t happen with leasing. By the time your particular lease agreement is up, you are ready to upgrade and embrace the latest Konica Minolta business copier that will easily handle all your in-house printing needs.
Leasing Helps You to Manage your Monthly Budget Better
Once you decide which Konica Minolta business copier is best for your company and once you choose the length of the lease that’s best for your budget, you’ll know exactly what your monthly payment will be to lease that state-of-the-art office equipment. This isn’t always the case when you opt to buy a copier. Like a car payment or a mortgage payment, being able to know exactly what your copier lease payment will be each month helps you to budget your other business expenses accordingly.
Leasing Enables You to Write Off the Monthly Payment
Another big advantage to leasing your new copier is that you are able to immediately deduct the entire copier lease payment each month as an ongoing business expense. This major business equipment is not considered a depreciating asset since you don’t own it!
Leasing Offers You the Opportunity to Get More for Less
Typically, business owners who lease their copiers are able to get a much bigger and/or more-feature-filled copy machine for less money than the one they would have purchased outright. As a result, productivity increases, downtime is reduced, and more creative, effective printing projects are able to be produced right in-house. If your ideal business copier is out of your budget to buy it, leasing enables you to still get what you want without having to make the high-dollar upfront purchase.
Leasing Eliminates the Stress of Worrying About Maintaining Your Equipment
Whether it’s automatically included with your lease agreement, or you need to add in a minimal and affordable service maintenance fee to your monthly payment, when you lease a new copier, a service agreement is an integral part of leasing. Although you can often opt for a service agreement when you purchase a copier outright, this fee is often more than what you would pay to maintain a leased copier. Similar to leasing a vehicle, if a major manufacturer’s component needs to be replaced or repaired, it’s usually covered in the lease agreement’s service contract. If you own the copy machine, you may find yourself having to pay out of pocket not only for those necessary replacement parts, but also for the labor.
