Leasing
Office Copier and Printer Leasing
Most of our business customers lease. A fixed monthly payment keeps your capital working in the business, and the machine gets replaced at the right point in its working life instead of being run into the ground. Here is how leasing works with us, what it roughly costs, and the honest arithmetic behind it.
Small payments instead of a big investment
A full size office copier is a serious piece of equipment, and paying for it outright ties up money that could be earning elsewhere in your business. A lease turns that purchase into a fixed monthly amount you can plan around. Your costs are level, budgeting is simple, and your cash stays free for the things that grow revenue.
Leasing also keeps you current. Office copiers and printers do their best work in their first five to seven years, and a lease term lines up with that working prime. You are always running a machine in its best years, with the replacement decision arriving on schedule rather than as an emergency.

How leasing works with us
Choose your machine and term
We put two machines in front of you, both a genuine fit, and you pick the one that suits and the term that suits, with 36 and 60 months the most common.
Approve and sign
Leasing is on approved credit, and approvals are usually quick. Agreements sign digitally, so most customers are done in minutes, not meetings.
We deliver and install
Delivery, installation, scan and email setup, and key user training are included with every machine we place.
One fixed monthly payment
The lease covers the machine itself, and the payment does not change for the term.
The lease covers the machine. Toner, parts, and service are separate, through a managed print agreement billed on the pages you actually print, with supplies arriving automatically through Toner AutoPilot. Two costs, both predictable, always shown separately, so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
The end of the term is your choice
Nothing in the agreement forces a buyout at the end, and that is deliberate: it keeps the choice with you. When the term ends, you can trade up to a newer model, return the equipment, or buy it out at its value at the time. Most of our customers trade up, because by then the machine has given its best years and the newer model earns its keep from day one.
There is a fourth move we often recommend when the machine is still serviceable: upgrade the busy location to the new model, and move the older machine to a lighter duty spot, a branch office, a warehouse desk, a quieter department. It keeps working on the service plan, the busy seat gets the speed, and nothing useful goes to waste.
Leasing fits the way offices actually work
The main machine, done right
A 35 page per minute full size copier with the advanced document feeder, extra paper trays, and stapling, and a compact machine alongside for the executive office. One agreement, one monthly payment, every seat covered.
The fleet refresh
New copiers and printers for different floors and departments, placed together on one schedule. The whole office moves to current machines at once, and support becomes one phone number.
Room to change
Needs change mid-term, and a lease can change with them. Individual machines can be upgraded or swapped out as your office grows, without unwinding everything else on the agreement.
The Uptown Lease Advisor
You do not need to guess what a lease costs. Enter what the equipment costs and see an estimated monthly payment at the two most common terms. If you do not know what a machine costs yet, that is exactly what the free assessment is for: tell us what you print, and we will put two honest options in front of you, priced.
Estimates are for planning only and are not a quote or an offer of credit. Rates are subject to change and are not guaranteed. All leasing is on approved credit. Taxes are extra. Shorter and longer terms are available. Your written proposal is the number that counts.
Lease or buy? The honest arithmetic
Buying can be the right call, and we will tell you plainly when it is. Smaller machines, steady lower volumes, and cash on hand with no appetite for agreements all point toward buying, and we sell machines outright every week.
Leasing earns its place when the machine is central to your work. Your capital stays free, the cost is level and predictable, and the replacement decision arrives on schedule instead of as a breakdown. As for tax treatment, that depends on your situation, and we are copier people, not accountants. Please speak with yours, and we are glad to give them any numbers they need.
