What are the benefits of equipment leasing for schools?

Equipment leasing for schools is an affordable and flexible way to acquire new equipment for your school. Leasing has been around for a very long time and is a sensible way to acquire new assets. By spreading the cost of an invoice over a term ranging from 1 to 5 years, you are also spreading the VAT, reducing your tax bill, and protecting cash flow.  

Acquiring new equipment for your school through leasing also means you can plan for upgrades much more easily giving you incredible flexibility by only paying for the usage and not the full cost of the asset. This helps you stay ahead and always allows you to have the best equipment for your school. 

Here are some other benefits to equipment leasing for schools:
