Copier Leasing According to Universities

Universities have complex systems in which they issues RFPs for copier leasing. (An RFP is a request for proposals from competing vendors). This ensures that the copier lease that a department ends up with will be competitive.

Municipalities must act in the same fashion. In fact municipal leasing is one of the most complicated and competitive areas for lease brokers. If you're looking for a great breakdown of copier leasing costs and a practical approach to leasing in general, check out this document from the New York City Department of Education.

There is a great breakdown of the equipment the department currently posseses and what size and type of job each copier should be running. In addition, it encourages the purchasing department to look critical at the cost of a copier lease, something that doesn't factor into the equation often enough. Bigger and newer isn't always beter. Sometimes you can use what you have and save a bundle in the process.

So, model yourself after the municipalities and unversities copier leases. Get estimates, compare them. Then get some more estimates on what it will cost to lease a copier. If you're looking at copier leases, please consider talking to the Graphic Savings Group.

Budgeting and the Copier Lease

One of the hardest tasks for any company manager is how to manage the cash flow of her corporation. Looking at copier leases from a slightly different perspective is a positive way in which a company can get a better handle on the accounts payable department.

The professional that we know looks at the cost of leasing a copier in a fashion similar to utilities or payroll, in that it is a fixed expense that can fluctuate depending on the demands of a given month. This helps him determine how he will meet his income targets and properly budget for the cost of the copier lease.

He also looks at the equipment lease as an unbreakable commitment, thus, he is careful to weigh his options from a technology and cash generation standpoint. He neither wants a copier that will be outdated nor an expense he can not meet. He has even considered setting aside a slight portion of revenue each month to meet the terms of the copier lease buyout, offering him an additional choice if he believes that it is more economical to own the copier outright.

Overall, it is a sound approach to copier leasing, one which lets him have a better grasp overall on cash flow management.
