Utilising the Benefits of Leasing with SS Systems

Lease finance agreements have long been considered a smarter way to invest in assets. As the cost of pretty much everything is increasing at a pace that is beyond most budget forecasts, we thought it might be helpful to draw attention to the benefits of lease rental agreement for your fire and security requirements.

Lease Finance is available for Fire and Security Systems

With many companies already using lease finance for a wide range business critical equipment, from photocopiers to plant equipment, we wanted to let you know that lease finance can also be offered by SS Systems to aide you with any installation or upgrade works you may be considering.

Spread the Cost

The capital investment required to keep your premises, safe, secure, and up to date with legal legislation can be a large cost for many businesses, particularly those in large facilities, such as Logistics Sites, Manufacturing Plants, Schools, and Hospitality venues, to name but a few, where large volumes of people and valuable assets need that extra level of protection.

Budgeting for Capital Expenditure

We realise that sometimes these types of investments can get overlooked when budgeting for capital expenditure projects and therefore become less of a priory when other areas of investment offer benefits to direct income.

This can inadvertently leave companies vulnerable to security breaches such as theft or vandalism, or business loss due to fire damage, which in turn can have a negative impact on direct income and business continuity.

Utilising Lease Finance

Utilising lease finance enables companies to capitalise on the latest technologies, keep staff and assets safe, and ensure compliance with all current legislation.

Additional Benefits

Lease finance also gives our clients the ability to spread the cost over a manageable period, with additional tax benefits, and helping with cashflow in these extremely testing times.

Benefits Leasing Offers

Have your Equipment Now

By making monthly payments, you can obtain the equipment that could benefit your company sooner, rather than waiting and saving to make a large capital outlay.

Quicker Return on Investment

As you are only paying a monthly rental, you benefit a lot sooner from your investment, sometimes within months, not years.

Tailored Agreements

You choose the length of the finance agreement that best suits you and your needs.

Easy Budgeting

Pay monthly instalments, suitable for your business needs.

Keep Cash Flow Intact

As monthly repayments are being made, instead of a large capital outlay, your cash flow is less impacted and could be used to invest in your other areas of your business or for items that cannot be financed.

Finance Decisions Made in Hours

No need to wait weeks to see if you are accepted for finance, we can tell you within hours and the sooner you can act, the sooner your business benefits.

Simple Agreements

Lease rental finance agreements are simple to complete and can be completed electronically to help you have the equipment you need sooner, not later.

Great Tax Relief

The lease rental payments you make will lower the amount of corporation tax you pay at the end of your financial year.

Lease finance agreements have long been considered a smarter way to invest in assets.

One of the main reasons for doing so is the tax relief businesses can receive.

The below figures demonstrate the tax relief comparisons between lease rental and cash purchase., on the equipment value of £7,500.00.
