Why most businesses lease instead of buy
Predictable cash flow
A fixed monthly payment is easier to budget than a large capital outlay plus surprise repair bills.
Maintenance is included
A service agreement covers toner, drums, fusers, parts and labor. One number, one call.
Refresh every 3 to 5 years
Technology, security and compliance move fast. Leasing lets you upgrade at term end.
Local delivery and setup
A local dealer delivers, installs, networks and trains your team. Remote sellers ship a box.

FMV, $1 buyout and LeaseFlex: how the three structures differ in payment, ownership and end-of-term risk.
End-of-lease decisions
Notice windows, returns, buyouts and replacements. The expensive mistakes all happen here.

The three lease structures at a glance
FMV lease
Fair Market Value
Lower monthly payments. Return the equipment, buy it at fair market value, or renew at term end. Best when you plan to refresh technology every few years.
$1 buyout lease
Finance lease
Higher payments because you are paying off the full value. At term end you own the copier for one dollar. Best when you are certain you will keep the device well past the lease term.
LeaseFlex
ABS flexible term
A short initial term with no buried auto-renewal clause. We must earn your business every month. Ideal when your volume or headcount may change.
