Improved balance sheet
With an operational lease you get rid of the nuisances of owing ICT assets. It means that ICT equipment is not posted to the balance sheet as assets. Thus reducing your asset base, which improves the financial ratios. Because operational leases are not considered long-term debts or liabilities, they are not included in the profit and loss account. And lease payments are included on the balance sheet as expenses, so you do not have to write down your equipment in five to seven years.
Access to capital
Growth is of essential importance for the success of any organisation. And to achieve growth, you need capital. Fixing the capital in quickly depreciating assets can restrict the organisations ability to expand. By leasing ICT assets you are protected against the problems resulting from owing ICT assets and capital is available when you need it. Leasing takes care of liquidity and flexibility, allowing you to use your energy and capital to enhance your core business.
Cost savings
Buying ICT assets requires a significant initial capital investment. Due to the constant technological evolution, these assets regularly have to be updated or replaced, which is an enormous financial burden for your organisation. By leasing ICT assets you can save money. If we look at an entire life cycle of the ICT investment, it is more logical to lease these assets instead of buying them. With ICT Lease you do not need a peak investment, but you can spread the costs. And with an effective ICT management programme you can reduce the Total Cost of Ownership.
Changing technology
Technology is constantly changing. The best solution today may be outdated by tomorrow’s progress. ICT equipment is an asset to be written down and which loses values as computers, servers and networks become better and faster. Many of your ICT assets probably lose their value before they are completely written down. ICT lease offers you the possibility to maximise your investment in ICT assets, while you have more flexibility to upgrade or change to new platforms. It allows you to constantly work with the best ICT solutions. |
