Leasing
A cost-effective solution.
IT equipment is a very expensive outlay for the school and funding it can be particularly hard in these times of tightened budgets. Where the school has the funds available it is always best to purchase equipment outright, however leasing is an excellent option when funds are not available and is now being used by more and more schools.
A lease will typically run for 3 years and is a great option when considering larger purchases as the payments are split over the 3 year period making it much easier to budget. An excellent example of using a lease would be to replace the ICT Suite PCs.
The equipment is immediately available even though you do not have sufficient funds for the purchase. This is a much better solution than buying 5 or 6 PCs for the Suite each year, where they will all look and behave differently.
The latest operating leases are also excellent value. The sum of the 3 annual payments is actually less than the cost of the equipment. This is because the lease company take possession of the equipment at the end of the lease. However, if you want to keep it you can just make a single low payment to them and then it is all yours.
Alternatively just start a new lease and you get a whole new Suite of computers for the same single annual cost.
