Benefits of Buyouts

A lease buyout is the sum of cash that needs to be paid for early termination of a lease and for outright purchase of the item being leased. Lease buyouts are generally of three types: Fair Market Value (FMV), dollar buyout, or a fixed percentage of purchase (often 10%). Discussed below are the types of lease buyouts and their corresponding benefits:

The Fair Market Value Lease is a great option for those who are worried that their equipment procurement may soon become obsolete. On culmination of the term of an FMV lease, a lessee can return the leased item to the lessor, continue with the lease, or purchase the leased item for its FMV worth. A true FMV can give your company tax advantages if it meets the requirements of a true lease. In order to receive these tax benefits for your business, you should seek the assistance of your accountant for careful structuring of the lease purchase. Low monthly payments make this a particularly advantageous option for companies with small budgets.

The $1 purchase option allows the lessee to buy the equipment at lease end for just one dollar. To eventually gain ownership over the equipment without having to incur all expenditures upfront, this option is a valuable decision. Another advantage of the $1 purchase option is the monthly payment plan. Despite the fact that monthly payments for a $1 lease are higher than those for an FMV lease, the $1 lease provides the benefit of owning the equipment for an amazing $1. Thus, through this purchase option, you gain both leasing and ownership advantages.

The 10% purchase option is beneficial if you are uncertain of what your needs may be in the future. You can opt for this purchase option if you desire a set purchase price and if the equipment's useful life is likely to be greater than the term of the lease. The monthly payments for the 10% purchase option are generally smaller than those for a $1 buyout lease and possibly higher than those for the FMV lease. As in the case of the FMV lease, at lease end, you are offered options to return the leased item to the lessor or continue with the lease. The other option you are given is to buy the item for 10% of its original worth.

Lease buyouts offer large amounts of tax advantages and benefits for any sized business. For information on a printer/copier lease buyout, contact JJ Bender at (800) 367-9673.

Benefits of Trade-ins

A trade-in is the process of selling or turning in a used or older piece of equipment as part payment for purchase of an upgraded piece of equipment. The main purpose behind trading in or exchanging the used or existing product is to get a reduced price for the new good. The trade-in decision depends on several factors such as how old the item is, predicted item obsolescence, how hard it is to get parts for the item, and the item's repair history.

There are several advantages to trading in your old printer/copier for a new one. The advantages include:

First, getting rid of an old copier/printer can cut the expenses for acquiring a new copier/printer, in which you can replace technology for a reduced cost.

A lower total ownership cost.

Upfront savings.

Protection of investment.

Reduction of internal costs as the trade-in makes possible efficient management of assets.

Before deciding to partake in a trade in, it is always advisable to do thorough research. If you know how much your old printer/copier is worth, you will have no difficulty in getting a reasonable price for it.

Benefits of Rentals

The heavy price tag associated with buying a high volume copier or printer leads many to believe that renting is a definite option. This is particularly the case with small businesses. Newer, advanced models of copiers and printers are always coming out in the market; so in order to keep up with the rapid pace at which technology is moving, a copier/printer rental is often considered to be a feasible option.

The costs for renting a copier or printer may vary depending on factors like the type of copier/printer, the period for which the copier/printer is rented, and the quantity of prints made.

There are several benefits of renting a copier/printer. The first and most obvious benefit is that you can avoid obsolescence. Several providers of copier/printer rentals will allow you to upgrade to an advanced machine at regular time periods. Another benefit is that there is no waiting time for the rental term to expire to request for an upgrade. In addition to helping you avoid obsolescence, the upgrading option will enable you to acquire an upgraded copier/printer for a fraction of the cost you would have to pay to buy it.

The other benefits of copier/printer rentals include:

Flexibility -The rental contract can be tailored to suit the individual requirements of different businesses.

Low costs.

Tax benefits.

Some copier rentals will permit you to walk off from the copier/printer at whatever time you like. This option will particularly prove to be useful if you don't have the funds to continue making the monthly payments.

Some rental contracts are inclusive of the costs for maintenance, insurance and repair.

Some rental companies provide toners and other printer/copier supplies (excluding staples and paper) along with the printer/copier.
