Predictable fees
A fixed amount every month instead of an upfront investment. Financial planning becomes simple and the IT budget stops moving in jumps.
Operating lease
Technology as a monthly cost, not an investment
Laptops, servers, firewalls and workstations paid for on a monthly fee. The capital stays in the business and the technology refresh is planned instead of endured.
The problem with refreshing hardware is not technical, it is financial. Twelve workstations to replace is a large sum to find in one go, so it gets put off: you keep the computer an extra year, then two, until the time lost by the person working on it costs more than a new machine.
An operating lease turns the problem around. You use the hardware and pay a fee for an agreed term, with no initial outlay. The cost becomes a predictable running expense, the capital stays available for the business, and at the end of the term you decide whether to refresh the technology, extend or return it. We arrange it with GRENKE, as an official GRENKE partner.
Why it is worth a look
Not just computers
Laptops, desktops, mini PCs and workstations, but also servers, NAS, storage, firewalls, switches, access points and mobile devices.
Planned refresh
At the end of the term you weigh up returning, renewing, extending or replacing with newer technology. Obsolete hardware stops piling up.
Alongside the services
The lease covers having the equipment available. Selection, configuration, installation, support and monitoring come from us, with the same point of contact.
When it makes sense
The situations in which clients choose leasing instead of buying.
- There are several devices to replace in the same period
- The machine estate is old and has to be replaced all at once
- The infrastructure needs updating without touching cash reserves
- A new office is opening or the number of people is growing
- A running cost is preferred to an investment
- Powerful workstations are needed for CAD, graphics or AI

Frequently asked questions
What is an operating lease for hardware?
An operating lease lets a business use professional hardware by paying a regular fee, instead of buying the equipment outright with a larger up-front investment.
What is the difference between leasing and buying outright?
With a direct purchase, the business buys the equipment immediately and carries the whole up-front cost. With leasing, it uses the equipment for a set period and pays a fee.
What products can be included in a lease?
Laptops, desktops, mini PCs, workstations, servers, NAS, storage, firewalls, switches, access points, mobile devices and other business technology can all be included.
Is leasing suitable for SMEs?
Yes. It is useful for SMEs, professional practices and businesses that want to refresh their IT equipment without tying up capital and without fragmenting purchases over time.
When is leasing worth it?
It is worth it when a business needs to refresh several devices, update its infrastructure, replace obsolete computers or spread technology costs over time.
What are the main advantages of leasing?
The main advantages are predictable fees, a smaller up-front investment, better financial planning, simpler technology refresh and more up-to-date infrastructure.
Does leasing help avoid obsolete hardware?
Yes. It lets you plan the device refresh at the end of the period, so computers, servers or network equipment do not stay in use for too long.
Can I lease servers, firewalls and network devices?
Yes. Leasing is not only for computers and laptops. It can also cover servers, firewalls, switches, access points, NAS, storage and technology infrastructure.
Can I lease professional workstations?
Yes. Workstations can be included in leasing arrangements when high performance is needed for design, graphics, CAD, AI or advanced professional applications.
How long can a lease contract run?
The term can vary depending on the project and the arrangement chosen. The most common periods are 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 months.
What happens at the end of the lease period?
At the end of the period, options such as returning, renewing, extending or replacing the equipment with new technology can be considered, depending on the terms of the contract.
Does leasing include installation and configuration?
Leasing covers the availability of the equipment, but your business can also be supported in choosing, configuring, installing and integrating the devices.
What is the minimum amount for considering a lease?
The minimum order value is €500 + VAT. For larger projects it is worth putting together a full proposal based on the equipment required.
How long does approval usually take?
Approval usually takes 24 to 48 hours once the necessary documents have been collected. Actual times can depend on how complete the paperwork is.
Can leasing be combined with IT services?
Yes. Leasing equipment can be combined with configuration, installation, support, monitoring, security and infrastructure management services.
Is leasing always the best choice?
No. It makes sense when a business wants to plan costs, refresh technology and preserve cash. In some cases it is worth comparing it with buying outright.
