High interest rates can make capital investments challenging for businesses, especially when it comes to purchasing costly office technology. Leasing provides a strategic alternative by reducing the need for large upfront payments while offering predictable monthly expenses. This helps with better budget forecasting and maintaining cash flow.
Moreover, leasing allows businesses to access the latest technology without the risk of obsolescence. This helps to maintain operational efficiency and competitiveness. For a comprehensive overview of the advantages, check out our guide on 4 Compelling Benefits of Leasing Equipment vs. Buying.
The range of office technology available for leasing is extensive. From multifunction printers, copiers, and scanners to computers, software, and even communication systems, GFC Leasing offers a variety of options to meet your needs. This flexibility ensures that your business stays at the forefront of technological advancements without incurring the hefty costs associated with purchasing.
Leasing also extends to specialized equipment such as digital signage, video surveillance systems, and automation controls, allowing businesses to operate more efficiently and securely.

Leasing agreements come in different forms, each with its own set of benefits. A Fair Market Value (FMV) Lease allows you to purchase the equipment at its FMV, return it, or upgrade to new technology at the end of the lease. This option usually features lower monthly payments.
Another option is the Hardware as a Service (HaaS) Lease, ideal for businesses that plan to regularly update their technology.
Lastly, the $1 Buyout Lease enables you to own the equipment for just $1 at the end of the lease term. Understanding these options can help you choose the best fit for your business.
Partnering with a Managed Print Services (MPS) provider offers numerous benefits, including comprehensive maintenance and support. MPS providers often include maintenance service agreements in the lease, covering parts, repairs, labor, and even toner. This reduces equipment downtime and ensures smooth, reliable operation.
Additionally, MPS providers can help optimize your print environment, improve efficiency, and reduce costs, making it easier for your business to focus on core activities.

Before signing a leasing agreement, it's crucial to ask the right questions. First, be sure to inquire about the structure of the leases, the financing process and the flexibility of the terms.
It’s also good to understand who will be handling your financing needs. Will it be a third-party provider or an internal division of your MPS provider? Knowing more about the financing provider’s experience in your industry can also offer insights into the quality of service you can expect. Make sure to ask about any hidden fees and the options available at the end of the lease term, too.
