What Are the Main Benefits of IT Equipment Leasing?
You may be a new business that needs new hardware for getting things off the ground or are in need of updated software in order to offer a new range of services. Perhaps you are an established business who have had the same outdated computers for far too long, and you are in need of upgrading your technology. Whatever the reason, there are many benefits to leasing computer equipment:
- Help your cash flow – technology leasing can allow you to acquire what you need quickly, without majorly affecting cash reserves. You might be putting on a new class, for example, and need the new equipment as soon as possible.
- Afford top-of-range computing equipment – by leasing IT equipment, you can upgrade to ensure you have the best hardware and software at all times.
- Pay as you use leased equipment – spread the cost of your computing lease through its working life – e.g. three to five years.
- Finance lease rental payments for your IT equipment can be 100% tax deductible against profits.
- Leasing can help you plan your budgets for the year.
- Other credit lines are not affected by leasing IT equipment.

What Is The Process For Getting Leasing?
- Identify the costs of your IT equipment from your supplier/suppliers
- Get a no-obligation quote from Shire Leasing and a credit decision within 4 hours
- Documents are sent for you to complete via e-signatory
- Once all documentation is completed and you have confirmed the equipment has been delivered/installed, we pay the supplier in full
- Your agreement is made live and you pay affordably by direct debit as you use the equipment
Although this process gives a general understanding, with Shire Leasing, the journey is tailored around your needs. For example, if you prefer to sign your documents physically, we can post these out to you. Or if your technology supplier requires stage payments before delivery, we can adapt to this and even pay out in foreign currencies such as US Dollars or Yen (we will not pay out suppliers based in the EU, however we may be able to make other arrangements to support you. Please speak to an account manager to find out more).
