Asset Life Cycle

Acquire

It is important to get the right equipment for your school. Equico is able to work with any supplier, so there are no limitations obtaining exactly what you need.

Deploy

The cost of implementing new technology often hinders schools from adopting the latest technology and infrastructure. Equico can include the cost of installation, set up and training into the lease making deployment affordable.

Manage

To get the most out of your equipment, it's important to have a maintenance plan. Bundling maintenance into your lease helps to spread the cost over the life of the equipment. This minimised the risk of costly repairs and maintenance on outdated technology.

Upgrade

Technology and ICT equipment is changing rapidly. The requirement to keep pace with change is inevitable. With Equico you can upgrade equipment at the end of term to avoid obsolescence.

Dispose

Owning and persisting with obsolete and outdated equipment may cost you money. When you lease with Equico, we take the hassles out of disposing of outdated equipment in an environmentally responsible way.

Leasing FAQs

What type of assets can my school lease?

Schools are able to lease a wide range of items. While Equico is a specialist when leasing ICT equipment, many schools choose to lease the items listed below.

What types of lease options are available?

There are two types of lease options; Rent to Return and Rent to Own. Rent to Return is the most popular lease for ICT equipment because when the equipment is out-of-date you are able to upgrade to the latest technology. Rent to Own is the best lease for assets that retain their value over time, such as artificial turf, ride on mowers or some fitness equipment.

Can I lease equipment retrospectively?

Yes. If you have already made a purchase and would prefer to have leased the equipment, Equico is able to arrange a retrospective lease and free up your cash.

Can I choose the equipment supplier?

Yes, Equico can work with any supplier of your choice. This ensures that that your school can access any equipment you need.

What happens at the end of the lease term?

Equico will endeavour to notify all customers before the end of term. If schools need to hold on to the equipment for a little longer, the lease can easily be extended as needed. If the school decides they would like to keep the equipment they can make an offer to purchase.
