Choosing the right office coffee machine is important for staff satisfaction, productivity and overall workplace well-being. Whether to purchase this as an asset or to lease, comes down to preference of budget allocation.
Benefits of Purchasing
· Capital expenditure
The office coffee machine is an asset and is typically included in a current year budget and maintenance agreement purchased upfront per annum
· Full ownership
This is your office coffee machine and can use it indefinitely without payments
· Control and customisation
There are no contractual requirements on condition of coffee machine, changes can be made on the appearance of the machine.
· Cost savings
No monthly payments that over time may become more expensive
· No contractual obligations
If the machine is no longer required it can be sold, whereas an early termination of a lease requires full payment based on rental pricing.
Benefits of Leasing
· Operating budget & freeing up capital
A leased coffee machine is typically included in a operating budget, freeing capital to be used on other business projects
· Monthly maintenance agreement costs
You will get a maintenance agreement alongside the equipment in the lease, providing transparency on budget costs. No surprise call out charges.
· Upgrading a service every term
Having a 3 or 5 year lease on the machines allows you to forecast costs and anticipate when you will need to upgrade the office coffee machine.
· Add a new machine to the same billing frequency
Typically a new agreement can be billed the same time as current, once again providing clarity on costs.
Potential tax benefits
Leasing payments can often be tax deductible
