…Beware – It may not be as good as it first seems!
A lot of businesses often find themselves tied into service contracts and lease agreements without being fully aware of the true commitment and ongoing running costs.
Photocopiers are most commonly leased over a 5-year period. The lease is usually handed onto a leasing company whilst the service contract is kept with the Photocopier Company to service and maintain your machine during this period.
Once the lease has been agreed you are committed to stay with the leasing company for the agreed term or to pay any outstanding fees plus a settlement amount should you wish to end the lease early.
We are finding more and more often that Photocopier salespeople are trying to upgrade customer’s machines early in order to generate extra profit and commission for themselves.
