Commercial Washing Machines: Rent or Buy, What's Best for Business?

If you are currently weighing up the plus and minus points of renting or buying a commercial washing machine, you should start the deliberation process with a few questions. What kind of machine would best suit your needs? Are you restricted by budget? How often will you use the machine? What will you do when it’s due for a service or perhaps in need of repair?

For the vast majority of commercial organisations, renting is by far the most sensible option, and there are several reasons why this should perhaps be your company’s strategy. Given the fact that technological advancements occur so often, and in some cases the firm’s own requirements change, it will be far easier to upgrade to a newer model if you lease.

Regular maintenance and servicing are usually available if you decide to rent, and this can be crucial. If you use your machines regularly and often, you’ll know just how vital it is that they’re well maintained and unlikely to let you down. If you simply buy a machine, you will be left at the hands of engineers just when you need them most, and that can be a financial disaster.

One of the most overlooked aspects of a rental agreement is the ability to budget accordingly for the coming months and years. There are no unpleasant shocks that could affect the financial health of the company, a consideration that’s particularly important during periods of economic instability. Knowing what you spend and when you do so can be exceptionally useful these days.

Perhaps you’d rather buy a Commercial Washing Machine?

Needless to say, there’s also something to be said for making a single purchase without having to worry about monthly payments. And of course outright ownership of commercial washing machines is something many in the business sector prefer. As is always the case, which side of the fence you sit on will depend on the policies of your company.
