In a reseller's catalogue, brands are described by product. Here they are described by contract: what changes in the rent, the term and what can go into the deal depending on the manufacturer you choose.
Because it really does change. Some manufacturers have their own financing and are willing to offer terms that an independent funder does not, provided the fleet is concentrated on their brand.
This is where renting is most obvious: equipment that ages fast, in volume, with a predictable renewal cycle.
The most common business fleet in Portugal
Has manufacturer financing
A direct alternative for workstations, strong in printing
Has manufacturer financing
Recognised reliability in business laptops
Has manufacturer financing
Mac and iPad for creative and engineering teams
High ticket, long cycle and the investment decision that is hardest to approve. This is where financing unlocks projects.
The foundation of many business data centres
Has manufacturer financing
Data centre servers, storage and networking
Has manufacturer financing
Hyperconvergence without the usual complexity
Half equipment, half subscription. The classic mistake is financing only the hardware and having the licences expire before the end of the contract.
Firewall and integrated security architecture
Enterprise networking and cloud management
Has manufacturer financing
Perimeter and endpoint security
It can go into the contract, but not on its own: funders require a hardware component to support the deal, and the limit varies between them.
Productivity and cloud
Ransomware-proof backup and recovery
Enterprise-grade open source
Cloud storage with predictable pricing
A concentrated investment that serves for years. Spread per room per month, it no longer needs board approval.
Video conferencing that captures the whole room
This list is what we supply regularly and where we have terms in place. It is not a restriction: financing does not depend on the brand, it depends on there being an invoice from a supplier and on the equipment having an identifiable value.
If you need a manufacturer that is not here, or if you already have a quote from another supplier and just want to finance it, tell us. It is as normal a request as any other.
All brands mentioned belong to their respective owners and are referred to here descriptively, to identify the equipment we supply and finance.
You can, and it is the most common case. A contract with laptops from one brand, MacBooks for design and servers from another is perfectly normal, and it simplifies management: one rent, one renewal date. The caveat is that in a mixed fleet manufacturer financing loses its advantage, and the independent funders come out ahead.
More than the difference in equipment price suggests. Two things weigh in: whether the manufacturer has its own financing, because then it subsidises to place the brand; and how much the equipment is worth second-hand at the end of the contract, because that lowers the rent. That is why we always present the manufacturer scenario alongside those of the independents.
Yes. This list is what we supply regularly and where we have terms in place. If you need another manufacturer, just say: financing does not depend on the brand, it depends on there being an invoice from a supplier and on the equipment having an identifiable value.
We can, and we often do. In that case we earn only on the part we supply, if any, and the financing comparison is done in the same way. The reverse is also possible: we supply the equipment and the company finances it however it sees fit.
Tell us what you need to equip. We consult the four funders and send back compared scenarios within 48 working hours, with no commitment.
