Leasing copiers and printers

At Franking Sense^®, copier leasing is provided by our partner sister company NCF. NCF offers flexible copier leasing agreements from an experienced finance team that understand the dynamics of both the supplier and end user printer/contract relationship. This knowledge helps coordinate and facilitate transactions between all the parties which, in turn, helps our customers receive the best possible service and options to buy your copiers and printers with an end-to-end solution.

What do we mean by Copier leasing?

Taking out a copier lease allows you to acquire your copiers and printers and pay for them over an agreed minimum term. You can choose either a fixed monthly or quarterly payment to suit your budgetary requirements. The standard minimum term for a copier lease is 60 months although we can provide flexibility on the term from 3 to 5 years on all our copier leasing options to suit any project requirements.

Benefits of leasing copiers and printers

Buying copiers and printers on a lease agreement has many benefits, including:

• Spreads the cost of buying your copiers and printers over an agreed period.
  Leasing copiers and printers as opposed to purchasing them allows you to spread the cost over a fixed period, avoiding hardware redundancy and the need to spend valuable capital expenditure on equipment which could be better utilised in other areas of your business.

• Makes budgeting for your copiers and printers simple
  Your copier lease comprises a fixed quarterly cost over a minimum period. This means your quarterly lease payment does not change, which makes budgeting for your copiers and printers very simple and straight-forward.

• Allows you to get the most appropriate equipment.
  Having your copiers and printers on a lease agreement gives you flexibility to upgrade and downgrade equipment as your requirements change. Adding new hardware to a master agreement is easy and provides a flexible and future-proof solution.
  
  Like many other technologies, copier and printer technology changes fast. Copier leasing allows you to buy the most advanced copiers and printers initially and then stay current during your lease by upgrading or downgrading and even refinancing to reduce costs when you need to. On the contrary, if you choose to purchase copiers and printers, businesses are more likely to stick with outdated machines causing operational issues and less agility in not taking advantage of the latest features and security options when they become available.

• Everything in one place: Supply, finance, technical support & account management
  As our copier leasing offer is provided by our sister company, everything is taken care of in house. We supply the copiers, install the devices, connect them to your infrastructure and then manage the ongoing support through our copier technical helpdesk and our nationwide team of Master Print Technicians.
• Managed Print Services (MPS)
  A copier lease agreement can also incorporate service, parts, toners (auto replenished) and any other associated support costs. This is called a Managed Print Service. This offer includes remote support, where we can dial into your network and provide super quick-fix solutions from our UK-based technical help desk remotely. This creates a true partnership and can be operated as an extension of your internal IT resource, working together to keep your documents moving.
  
  Becoming a managed service copier customer also means we can add a full suite of products to the partnership which allows us to reduce your supplier base, consolidate costs and provide inclusive support agreements across multiple products not limited to the supply of copiers.
  
  Franking Sense^® is much more than a copier supplier in Bolton.

Is copier leasing expensive?

The simple answer to this one is, why not let us provide a copier quote for you and show you how cost-effective copier leasing can be?

Do I own the copiers once the lease is up?

Having a lease agreement means that you don’t own your copiers at the end of the lease. Our Commercial Team will be in touch with you throughout your lease term to discuss your requirements. At the end of the primary term of the copier lease you can Renew, Retain or Return the equipment. But also remember that, towards the end of your lease, we will discuss with you whether you want to upgrade to the latest copier and printer technology. You can do this within the last two years of the minimum period. You have a lot of options.

Does the copier lease include toner?

In most cases copier toners are covered by your separate Service agreement. A copier Service Agreement is set up alongside your copier lease or as part of our Managed Print Service to take care of your service, maintenance, and consumables.
