LEASE VS. PURCHASE
Which option is right for your business?
Both leasing and purchasing can be great options.
Here's a side-by-side look at the key differences to help you decide.
WHY BUSINESSES CHOOSE TO LEASE
More than a copier. A smarter way to manage your business.
Keep More Cash in Your Business
Instead of spending thousands upfront on office equipment, leasing spreads the cost into predictable monthly payments.
Get the Equipment You Actually Need
A lower upfront cost can make it easier to choose a machine based on your real print volume and workflow - not just the lowest purchase price.
Stay Current
Office technology changes.
Leasing gives businesses a practical path to newer equipment rather than holding onto aging machines.
Simplify Your Printing Costs
Pair your lease with an iGlobal service plan and bring equipment, toner, parts, labor, and service into a more predictable monthly expense.
Potential Tax Advantages
Whether you choose to lease or purchase, your office equipment may provide valuable tax benefits.
Leasing: Qualifying lease payments may be deductible as a business expense.
Purchasing: Qualifying equipment purchases may be eligible for Section 179 or other depreciation deductions.
Tax treatment varies based on the type of agreement and your business. Please consult your tax professional to determine eligibility.
PREFER TO OWN YOUR EQUIPMENT?
Purchasing can be a great option, too.
For businesses that want to make a larger upfront investment and keep their equipment long term, purchasing may be the right fit.
iGlobal offers both purchase and lease options, so we can compare the numbers and help you understand the differences before you decide.
