Is old, inefficient equipment weighing you down and reducing office productivity? It could be time for an office equipment refresh. The first step is to reach out to a Managed Print provider for a needs assessment. This professional review of your current office equipment will identify any gaps or opportunities for improvement.
However, not all Managed Print providers are the same. I encourage you to do your research and look for a Managed Print provider who has connections with leading office technology manufacturers, the expertise to craft a print fleet roadmap designed to reach your business goals and skilled service technicians who will not only fix a broken machine but will conduct proactive maintenance to prevent additional breakdowns.
In addition, consider how you will be paying for your equipment and services. In today’s business climate, many organizations are leveraging the power of leasing. But be aware, many Managed Print providers often outsource leasing and financing contracts to a third-party lending partner.
A smarter move is to contact Gordon Flesch Company (GFC). Because GFC has the people, skills, manufacturing partnerships and an in-house lending division (GFC Leasing) with the flexibility to fit your changing needs.

Businesses both big and small have found leasing to be more beneficial to their budget than buying office equipment. Leasing usually doesn’t require a down payment or a large amount of cash like purchasing does. In fact, leasing allows for scheduled periodic (e.g., monthly or quarterly) payments and maintenance costs. Much more budget friendly!
In addition, leasing also protects against obsolete equipment, as a lease allows your business to be more agile with its funds.
You might be able to lease a wider variety of office equipment than you might think. Check with your leasing provider. At GFC, we have offered leases for multi-function printers, copiers, scanners, communication systems, IT equipment, software, A/V equipment, security solutions and more!
In-house leasing gives you, the customer, an advantage. This means that your Managed Print provider services leases with their own staff. If you have questions about your lease, they’ll have information at their fingertips about your lease, your leased equipment and your company. Everything needed to deliver an outstanding customer experience.
It’s always good to read the fine print. Because not all leasing agreements are the same. Look for a leasing partner who offers a wide variety of lease lengths. For example, GFC has lease options ranging from 12 to 63 months. Also consider your payment options. Many businesses have monthly lease payments; however, sometimes company budgets are better suited for quarterly payments.
Leasing can be financially advantageous to provide a predictable payment stream, minimize equipment obsolescence, free up cash for other business expenses and improve your return on investment (ROI). In addition, under the IRS Section 179 tax code, leasing can be 100% tax-deductible as an operational expense. This means you can deduct the full cost of the lease payment from your taxable income.
The following are the three most common lease types. Each provides a different option at the end of the lease term:
