Lease, Rent or Buy- what is best for you and your company.  How do you decide which method of acquisition of today's information technology products including workstations and servers are best for your company.  First, you should determine how long you intend to use the hardware and how long the technology will adequately serve your individual corporate need.  The following definitions will help you determine your requirements.  Please note that new equipment is normally depreciated over terms that are far longer than the technological useful life of that equipment.  Therefore, many companies prefer to lease rather than buy.

Rent- Rentals are usually for a minimum of 30 days to maximum of several years-Rental payments are normally fully expensed by the renting company.  Rental payments may or may not include a credit toward the purchase price of the hardware.  Rental hardware may have been in service to other companies, prior to your use.

Full Payout Leases- A Lease where the Lessee owns the equipment for a fixed and agreed to price at the expiration of the lease term.  Normally $1.00 or 10% of the original purchase price of the leased equipment.

Operating Lease (or True Lease)- The Lessee at the end of the lease term has no obligation to purchase the equipment.  Lessee may negotiate a purchase of the equipment-usually at the fair market value, they may negotiate an extension of the lease or the equipment can be returned to the Lessor.  This is also referred to as a Fair Market Value lease.
