When your office is looking to lease new copiers and printers, remember several things, especially if you are returning previously leased equipment and upgrading to new systems. Leasing is a common practice and is the perfect solution for businesses that want to avoid the upfront cost of purchasing equipment and enjoy the freedom to upgrade. You should take several steps before returning your copier when the lease is up to ensure your data is protected and the equipment is returned without a hitch.
Here are a few tips to get you started:
- Read over your lease and ensure you are familiar with all the terms and conditions and the return clause.
- Prepare your letter of intent to inform the company leasing you your copy machine on whether or not you intend to return the equipment or purchase it at the end of your lease.
- Check over your equipment to ensure it is in complete working order.
- Find out the preferred shipping method of your leasing company and prepare the equipment for return. Could you be sure to insure the package for delivery as well?
- Keep all information, such as the model and serial number of the equipment, as well as all the shipping information, in case something happens after the equipment leaves your hands.
