Office equipment is necessary for keeping any business organized, but not always is buying that equipment a good investment. Here are some of the top 5 advantages businesses have for Copier Leasing Houston instead of outright purchasing them.

Advantages of Copier Leasing in Houston:

• Cost
• Expiration Date
• Technology
• Maintenance
• Taxes

Cost

Most businesses pay $100 to $650 a month for copier leasing. To buy an average commercial copier would cost around $1,500 on average and go up to $10,000 for a high-end copier. For smaller businesses, these prices can be hard to afford. Unlike buying a copier, leasing has no down payments other than a refundable security deposit. Financing options may not be available for newer businesses which have little to record their financial reliability. If a business is unsure how long they can afford a copier or may require their capital elsewhere, leasing is the best option for the least investment.?

Expiration Date 

A copy machine is like a car in that it gets a certain amount of mileage before it has run its course. The amount of copies a high-end industrial copier can make is around 50,000 monthly, whereas a smaller business copier can make around 1,000 a month. These figures are still overworking the machine and not recommended for getting as much use out of the machine as possible. The average life of a well-used copier can be 2 to 3 years before experiencing problems, but 5 years is the average lifespan. A less-used copier can last from 7 to 10 years.

By renting a copier, this limit can be passed. Multiple different copiers may pass through a single business over multiple leases. This extends the presence of a copier machine in a business regardless of how long it is needed.

Technology

Even if the copier doesn’t get overused to the point of exhaustion, copiers become out of date after a few years. New technology is always being created and copiers with increasingly diverse and effective functionality become available. When the lease of the old copier ends, it is always possible to get a newer, more up-to-date one instead. This helps keep businesses up-to-date and as efficient as possible.?

Maintenance

Another benefit of renting a copier is that any issues with the copier are covered by the lease. Owning a copier leaves all of the maintenance and upkeep to the owner. Since the leasing company owns the copier they are in charge of its maintenance. Paper, ink, toner, and any repairs are all part of the contract, making everything easily dealt with by one source.?
