Before you decide whether leasing ICT equipment is a good idea or not, it’s always best to compare the cost of leasing against the cost of purchasing. Agile Technical Solutions can absolutely help you with the process, and we will always be honest with the advantages and disadvantages of both.
It’s essential that you understand the costs. Operating lease agreements require a school to make regular fixed payments over a contracted period. You’ll need to think carefully about whether the minimum lease period suits your needs. The best way to do this is to consider how long your school usually keeps similar equipment, and what your foreseeable technology requirements are.
You’ll also need to know what your options are for either continuing to lease the equipment at fair market rates or returning it to the leasing company.
