Leasing Commercial Office Furniture: An Option to Consider

Thanks to the prevalent trend of the office furniture lease, it is entirely possible to acquire modern, ergonomic cubicle systems without crippling the company cash flow. With 80% of U.S. corporations currently leasing some of their equipment and office furniture, the leasing process is more streamlined and simple than ever before. Here is a brief explanation of why you might want to consider leasing cubicle systems and related office furniture.

If you are a Small Business you might consider an office furniture lease because:

  • You need the cubicle system, but can't afford the cash outlay and often settle for lesser furniture if you have to pay cash.
  • You have had negative experience in dealings with banks – slow response, mountains of paperwork, down payment required and credit declines.
  • Borrowing from your bank ties up your line of credit.

If you work for a Large Business you might consider an office furniture lease because:

  • Convenience – it is often a lot easier for a large company to lease than go through your office furniture and equipment acquisition approval process.
  • Budgetary constraints – capital acquisitions budget was set months ago and did not provide for the acquisition of new cubicle systems..
  • Lease payments fit into a miscellaneous monthly expense budget and can be justified by savings.
  • Approvals needed for leasing are usually at lower levels than major capital purchases.
