Your Hardware Options

1. Buy Outright — Own It All

How it works:
You pay for all phones and equipment upfront and own the assets immediately.

Pros:

• Full ownership and control
• No ongoing financing or interest
• May qualify as a capital asset for accounting purposes

Considerations:

• High upfront cost reduces available capital
• You are responsible for all maintenance, upgrades, and replacements
• Warranty coverage is typically limited
• Technology depreciates quickly and can become outdated

Best for:
Organizations with strong capital reserves that want complete ownership and prefer handling maintenance internally.

2. Purchase with Term Payments — Own Over Time

How it works:
Spread payments over 24–60 months through a financing agreement. You own the hardware at the end of the term.

Pros:

• Predictable monthly payments
• Preserves cash flow
• Ownership transfers at term completion

Considerations:

• You take on maintenance and replacement after warranty expiration
• Equipment may become outdated even while you’re still paying for it
• Classified as a capital expenditure, which may require internal approval processes

Best for:
Companies that want ownership without the upfront financial burden.

3. Rent — Total Flexibility & Protection

How it works:
Pay a monthly rental fee for the hardware. Service, support, and upgrades are built in.

Pros:

• No upfront cost — keep capital free for growth
• Installation, service, and replacement included
• Always current with automatic hardware refreshes
• Simple, predictable monthly billing
• Fully tax-deductible operating expense
• No ownership responsibilities — maintenance and risk are handled for you

Considerations:

• Total long-term cost may be slightly higher
• Hardware is returned or renewed at the end of the rental term

Best for:
Organizations that want maximum uptime, effortless scalability, and budget simplicity.

Maximize uptime and minimize hassle with the right hardware approach.
