What is Available to my Business with Computer Leasing? Just about every kind of computer and peripheral is available under leasing agreements, including:

• Laptop computers
• Desktop computers
• Servers
• Printers
• Scanners

Your lease should also include computer software and maintenance leasing, for a complete package.
Why Consider Computer Leasing? There are several advantages to computer leasing, which may be compelling to businesses of all sizes.

• Conserve your cash and lines of credit: instead of using your cash flow or credit on buying the computers your business needs, leasing is an alternative solution.
  This solution also spreads the cost of acquiring the computers over a longer term.
  
• Income tax benefits: depending on the laws of your province or state, most lease payments are tax deductible.
  
• Keeping your equipment current: under a leasing agreement, your company will maintain technology that is current.
  Regular upgrades are built into your long-term leasing agreement.
  It is also easy to add any equipment your office may require as your needs change.
  
• Reduce the costs of your technology: having equipment that is current reduces the cost of technical support, thus reducing the hours used by your company's IT department.
  In the case of an equipment failure, your computers will be under manufacturer's warranty and will likely be the responsibility of the leasing company.
  Replacement costs are covered under your leasing agreement.
  

What is the Difference between Computer Leasing and Computer Renting? By and large, the biggest difference between a computer rental versus a computer lease is the length of time of the agreement.
Generally, a rental agreement is for days or weeks, while a lease is for months or years.
Rental fees are also significantly lower than the fees of most leases, but the terms of the agreement are also stiffer.
While a leasing agreement should include upgrades over time and the ability to increase or change the equipment leased, should the need arise, rentals are a fixed term for a fixed piece of equipment, with stiff penalties should the agreement be broken.
For either agreement, technical support is usually provided and there may be an option to buy out the equipment at the end of the term, should the company renting or leasing it decide to go that route.
As with any purchase, consider your company's needs and options carefully before making a decision on computer renting or computer leasing.
Some leasing companies offer lessee insurance to cover breakage, damage or loss of lease computer equipment, which protects your company from loss from fire, flood, wind, other natural disasters, and theft.
There are many companies who lease, so compare prices, servicing options, and other terms before making a commitment.
