Situations Requiring Short Term Copier Rentals
A customer may benefit from short-term copier rental in a few situations. If any of the following apply to you, I would recommend renting rather than buying or leasing.
- New Businesses
Leasing can be difficult for a brand new business with no established credit. Because it’s unlikely that a new company will have the capital to purchase a copier outright, renting is increasingly looking like the best option.
We know you don’t want to think about it, but there is always the possibility that a business venture will not go as planned. You don’t want to be stuck making payments on equipment you don’t need if that time comes.
- Mobile Businesses
Some businesses are frequently on the go. Take a film crew, for example. They might film in 6 different locations over the span of 6 months. It’s not uncommon for these types of companies to rent copiers when they get to their destination, rather than taking one with them when they travel.
- No Commitments
Leasing is the most inexpensive way to acquire a new machine. Monthly payments on a lease are lower than the cost of renting month-to-month, but renting comes with the benefit of being able to return the machine when you want.
A lease cannot be canceled. When you sign a lease you have committed to making payments for the length of the term. For some, the idea of no commitments is what most appeals to them about copier rentals.
- No Credit Checks
Credit checks are required for leasing equipment, but they are not required for renting. Customers who cannot qualify for a lease can always turn to renting as their next best option. Renting a machine will also give them the option to save up and buy a copier, or establish some credit to get a lease.
