Buying and leasing equipment each has advantages. It’s up to you to determine what’s right for your business. Your business partner at Finance New Zealand is the best person to chat to about this as we are completely impartial – it makes no difference to us which you choose.
If you opt to lease, we work with a number of lessors and can create competitive tension between them to ensure you get a good deal.
The same applies to buying – if you chose to purchase we will get finance options from several lenders to make sure you get the best deal you can.
Our independence as a brokerage means we can genuinely talk to you about the benefits of both leasing and buying, and we will work with you and your business to help decide what suits you best.
