5 Reasons Why Your Business Should Lease A Computer

If you are a start-up or a medium sized business with a limited budget, you have to make many compromises on the technology and office essentials. If technology is holding your business back then it is best to consider leasing laptops or computers. Here are the reasons why leasing is perfect for your business:

Easily Available Financing
If you plan to take an equipment loan from the bank, you are required to face verification of your financial records for the last 2-3 years and the waiting period will be longer, if any discrepancies are found. Leasing companies are more lenient and understanding. Many reputed computer leasing experts in UK also offer you benefits of quick delivery after the approval of leasing.

Manage Cash Flow
Leasing helps small businesses to take care of their finances and manage cash flow efficiently. There are no down payments involved in leasing, while equipment loans require people to make a payment of up to 25%. There are various short term leases available that will require less capital than required to purchase a new equipment. Also in terms of depreciation, leasing is a feasible option than buying.

Opportunity to Keep in Touch with the Latest Technology
The lease period usually lasts for two to three years – which is the average lifetime before the equipment will require the next upgrade. Many leasing agencies offer benefits of annual upgrades, which means smaller companies can meet the technology competence of their big budget competitors without draining their finances. Leasing also protects these businesses from technological obsolescence that they may have to bear at the end of the lease period. They can upgrade to new equipment to keep in pace with the competition.

Predictable Monthly Investments
Leasing companies allow companies to pay predictable monthly payments which will help them to manage their finances for developing the business. By leasing, businesses can cut down on additional costs that they may incur on software, installation, maintenance and training for employees.

Complete Equipment Support
Leasing agencies allow clients to concentrate on their business and stop worrying about equipment upgrades, warranties, software and hardware related issues and problems by offering full support.

Ideal for technology start-ups as well as established businesses, GEEX allows companies to lease their computers – Apple products, PC/laptops and desktops. By leasing their branded computers such as Apple, Samsung, Sony and HP from GEEX, companies can remain worry free and update themselves with recent technologies.

MacBook

Rumour has it that the 15” MacBook Pro with Retina Display is to be launched in the WWDC15. With faster processors, Force Touch trackpad, and flash storage, the new MacBook is expected to be slimmer, sleeker and more easily portable. It is believed that Broadwell, yet to be introduced by Intel, is the technology behind the new MacBook Pro.

Thunder Bolt Display

The Apple 27” 5K Thunderbolt Display is expected to be seen in the WWDC 15. According to T Gap, the iMac Retina 5K display is the best so far, particularly from a photographer’s perspective.

It is expected that the next version of the iOS (iOS 9) will debut at the WWDC 15. Apple fans hope that the new iOS will be free of the glitches seen in its predecessor the iOS 8. Bugs in the Maps, music apps and split screen view are the expected reforms from the iOS 9.

OS X

Apple is also expected to launch the OS X 10.11 in the upcoming WWDC. ‘Applites’ hope that an improved UI with Siri integration, a more navigable App Store with more products and better customization options will be the highlights of the new OS. Apple sources have thus far remained secretive about this product.

iPad Pro

Although there is no confirmation from Apple, it is expected that the long awaited 12.9 inches iPad will be launched at the next WWDC. The production of this new gadget has supposedly been delayed because of supply problems.
