The copier rental system exists since the late 1950s, when the Rank Xerox Company brought to market a new model of photocopiers. But they were too expensive to make, therefore the company couldn’t identify potential customers. So they came up with the revolutionary idea of leasing the machines at a monthly rate instead of selling them, giving new firms a low-cost possibility of acquiring its necessary technology.

Therefore, your problem seems solved, doesn’t it? Well, not quite. In a huge city like Boston, you may want to think and read twice before signing any kind of contract, including a lease one.

Contract

There are some tiny details that you take into consideration before signing the contract:

- the legal terms and conditions. Make sure that you know and understand all the imposed conditions and the meaning of all the terms included in the contract or that they are properly explained to you.

- the lease rates. Make sure that the lease rates from the contract correspond with the ones that you and the lease company agreed upon.

- the lease companies ask that you pay for the shipping of the equipment when you return it.

- the lease companies require you to give a notice for returning the equipment, between 30 and 90 days before the end of the lease term.

So, equipment rental is your cheap way out, but it sure can be tricky. Make sure you bare these important “details” in mind and keep up the good work!
