Rental vs. purchase
" Leasing equipment has long been a popular means of reducing business costs "| Cash Purchase | Rental | |
|---|---|---|
| Payments | Payment is always upfront, and in full. | Payments are fixed and can be spread over the useful life of the equipment. This is in the customer’s advantage. |
| Disposal of Equipment | The owner is responsible for the disposal of the equipment. The disposal has some associated costs (not too small). | The rental company is responsible for the disposal of the equipment once it is returned. Customers don’t have to worry about disposal. |
| Ownership | Aspects of ownership, as well as the risks associated with ownership lie with the organization. | Risks of ownership lie with the rental company, not the customer. No need to worry! |
| Obsolescence | The owner is forced to accept any decrease of the equipment’s value. | All risks associated with equipment obsolescence and depreciation lie with the rental company. Again, no need to worry! |
| Taxation | Owner may claim a tax deduction | All Rental Payments are tax deductible over the period of the rental term. |
| Upgrade | There is no upgrade facility in place. Upgrading is impossible or very hard. | An upgrade facility may be available at any time during the rental period. All you have to do is ask. |
