IT Leasing
Spread the Cost of Your IT Equipment with our Leasing
Options
Finance
offers an attractive alternative to paying cash. Flexible, cost
effective and fully tailored to your requirements, simply put
asset finance allows you to spread the cost of your investment
more fully over it’s useful life.
Furthermore, from a
purely fiscal perspective, the assumption that finance is more
expensive than cash is, in the majority of cases, a myth and our
illustrations can demonstrate the true cost of both cash and
finance against each other.

The Benefits of Leasing
Why should you use leasing?
Take a look
at these 5 fundamental reasons:
Leasing
for any capital purchasing with low, fixed monthly rentals, so
you can budget and manage your cash flow, thus more cost
efficient.
It
is a way of managing obsolescence without writing off large
single sums.
Leasing
allows you to invest you money in other areas where you will get
a higher return on capital employed.
It
is a route to bridging the gap between what you need and what
you can actually afford. It means that you can have tomorrows
technology today.
Rentals
are fully allowable against taxable income, similar purchases
are not.

These are just a few of the reasons why 8 out of 10accounting
firms use leasing and why 85 of the Times Top 100 companies use
leasing.
Leasing Versus Cash Purchases
If your organization is
looking to finance a capital equipment project then using your
hard earned cash can be just what the taxman wanted. He will not
let you offset the full amount of the cash you spend against
your next corporation tax bill but instead give you allowances
piecemeal over the coming years.
Leasing the equipment
may appear to cost more, however when leasing you will benefit
from 100% allowances against tax, which means you will be
pocketing a substantial gain at the taxman's expense and leasing
thus becomes cheaper!
You will also benefit from being
able to invest the free cash you would have otherwise spent in
other areas of the business.
The example below seeks to
illustrate the total costs of a cash purchase versus those of a
rental option based on a 36-month term. It assumes rentals are
paid monthly in advance, by Direct Debit and all costs are based
on net present value.
