Most photocopier and office equipment suppliers will have recently seen an increased number of businesses choosing copier leasing over purchasing. Copier leasing is on the increase primarily because businesses are looking for stable solutions in the recession when the economic future is not clear. Leasing copiers and other office equipment is often appealing to businesses for several reasons:

Finances can be planned more effectively (paying a fixed amount each month)
There is no large cash sum to pay up front
They can keep up to date with all the latest technology
The device is only paid for for the time it is needed, up until the leasing agreement runs out
Leasing agreements could deliver possible tax benefits
Often there is an option to purchase the equipment at the end of the lease
Service agreements are often included in the copier lease, allowing for technical assistance

Although there are many advantages to copier leasing, many businesses have become reluctant to take out long term lease agreements, mostly due to their uncertain or unstable financial future. With this change, photocopier suppliers have had to make it possible for customers to gain a copier lease agreement and feel comfortable in the amount time the lease has been taken out for. Copier suppliers, such as Canon Copiers, have adapted and become more flexible by shortening some lease agreements so that businesses do not have make such a long term commitment.

Centralising Printing to a Multifunctional Photocopier

By: Jennifer Chilton | 28/04/2009 | Business Ideas
A combination of photocopying, printing and scanning needs to be done in most schools and businesses, with many running several small printers, a photocopier and separate desktop scanners to achieve this. Now that most photocopiers are multifunctional and can be connected to the print server, is it necessary to still also run desktop printers, or can it be more cost effective and still convenient to re-route all, or at least most, printing to the photocopier and get rid of desktop devices?
