Leasing vs. Buying Equipment
At Cafepoint, we know that choosing the right way to acquire your office coffee or water machine is just as important as selecting the machine itself. Whether you decide to lease or buy, you’ll benefit from our extensive stock holding, meaning we can usually install your machine in the same week you place your order.
Why Leasing Is the Most Popular Choice
Leasing is by far the preferred option for most of our clients, and for good reason:
- Protects your cash flow – the cost of the machine is spread across the lease term rather than being paid upfront.
- Tax efficient – lease payments are 100% deductible as a business expense.
- Easy to budget – fixed quarterly payments give you cost certainty with no surprises.
- Future-proof – at the end of the lease, or even earlier, you can upgrade to the latest equipment to ensure your workplace always benefits from modern, reliable technology.
This flexible and financially efficient approach is why the majority of our clients choose leasing.
When Buying May Be Considered
For organisations with significant cash reserves, an outright purchase can sometimes make sense. The main benefit is full ownership of the asset from day one. However, with the pace of innovation in coffee and water technology, this option can make it harder to keep equipment up to date compared to the flexibility leasing provides.
