IT - rent or buy

IT - rent or buy

I am not sure whether to rent or buy my IT equipment. It may seem like a no brainer to some, but I am really nervous about the initial outlay costs for IT. Any suggest advice gratefully received. Cheers.

I would rent or buy

I would rent or buy refurbished.

Depends on how critical the device is to your business.

For example we are starting to rent Laser printers on short term (3month rolling contracts including everything(except paper)

Just dont tie your self into long contracts and keep your overheads as low as possible.

Its all a balancing act.

Personally I would suggest that at the beginning if you can live without it then do.
