What’s the difference between hire purchase and leasing equipment?

Hire purchase options are a great option if you’d like to own your machine but spread the cost over a period of time. Put simply, you’ll build equity while you work.

With our flexible, low-risk equipment leasing options, you can choose from making monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments. These monthly payments are often lower than short-term rentals and loans, making them a more affordable option for your business. Most lease options give you the opportunity to extend your lease, purchase the machine, or return it when your lease ends.
