Rental vs Purchase
One of the most frequently asked questions.
 
   Is it better for me to rent or buy?  
  There is no easy answer to this; we have tried listing the benefits of each way of obtaining the equipment you need, however the final decision should be based on your personal situation.

 
  Benefits of Rental    
       
  Flexibility You have the freedom to change the equipment as and when your needs change.

 
  Licensing Equipment can be changed, so that operating frequencies are compatible with local conditions or with country regulations when travelling from country to country.

 
  Testing You can try out the latest equipment on the market without making any commitments.

 
  Support You will have the full support of the hire department, from replacing faulty equipment to helpful advice about frequency planning.

 
  Cashflow Improved Cashflow without the burden of making large capital investments in equipment.

 
  Accounting Rental charges are VAT reclaimable, and all of the rental charges can be written down against TAX as and when they occur.

 
     
  Benefits of Purchase    
       
  Ownership Equipment belongs to you, so no worrying about loss or damage, for which you would have to reimburse if the equipment was rented.

 
  Transport You will be saving on logistic and transport costs involved in renting. Having equipment returned and delivered between periods of use, can increase your costs.

 
  Costs On long tours covering singles countries or a single continent, purchasing may well be the cheaper option.

 
  Assets The equipment will appear as an asset on your balance sheet. Allowing balance sheet financing.

 
  Accounting VAT is fully reclaimable on the purchase cost. Depreciation of the equipment value can also be written down against profits.
