Home > Why Leasing is Smart

If you are in business, ThinkSmart’s products offer you the cash flow friendly way to get all the equipment you need while giving you the flexibility to ensure you can keep up to date with new technology. By using SmartWayLeasing in Office Depot you can:

Keep your cash in your business. Do not tie it up in rapidly depreciating technology. The math is simple: You could spend $2000 on a typical technology purchase today, or elect to pay around $17 a week. The money you would have spent is extra working capital to help you grow your business.

If you are running a business or use your equipment for business purposes, your monthly payments can be up to 100% tax deductible. For most businesses this means they can claim over a third of their monthly payments back. Everyone’s tax situation is different, and you should ask your accountant or tax advisor for advice on your personal circumstances.

With SmartWayLeasing you can afford everything you really need. So why not bundle together a wide range of office equipment, computer software, and furniture into one convenient plan. You can even add ink and paper to your complete packaged solution!

It’s easy to keep your office equipment up-to-date with the latest. Simply choose from a 3 or 4 year term, and we’ll give you the flexibility to update your existing equipment before the end of your term. We find two thirds of the way through the term is the optimum point to update early, and by giving you this flexibility it means you can select the payment term that best suits your budget knowing you can update your equipment early should your needs or wants change.

There are no deposits or balloon payments, instead you simply make monthly lease payments and have the choice of what you want to do with your equipment at the end of the term.

As your monthly lease payments are an off balance sheet expense it makes accounting far simpler.

At the end of the term you have the choice as to what you want to do with the equipment:

• Keep on leasing it (often at a reduced rate)
• Get the latest equipment and return the old kit to us; or
• We can make the equipment available for you to offer to purchase it from us at its fair market value¹.

It's your choice to make. Why tie yourself down now to committing what you want to do with your equipment in 3 or 4 years time.

By choosing to ThinkSmart, you can improve your cash flow with low-cost monthly lease payments that may be fully tax deductible; off balance sheet; and that means you can keep your working capital working for you rather than tied up in rapidly depreciating technology. As IT changes, you can too!
