Buy Outright

The most straightforward option is to purchase the asset outright. This approach means paying the full cost upfront, giving you immediate ownership without any interest or financing fees. Buying outright is often the most cost-effective option in the long run, as it avoids additional costs associated with financing. However, it requires sufficient capital upfront and can tie up funds that could be used for other operational needs or opportunities.

Financing: Chattel Mortgage

A chattel mortgage offers another avenue for financing, where the asset itself serves as security for the loan. This option allows you to take ownership from the start, with the finance company holding a mortgage over the asset until the loan is repaid in full. Chattel mortgages are ideal for those who prefer ownership but seek the flexibility of a payment plan.

This option is typically only available for financing higher-value assets typically over $2,500.

Short-Term Rentals

Short-term floor scrubber rentals are an excellent choice for those needing equipment on a temporary basis or for specific projects. It allows you to ensure the asset is fit for purpose and meets your expectations without a long-term commitment. Short-term floor cleaning machine hire offer the flexibility to respond to fluctuating demands and the opportunity to test the latest models before making a more permanent decision.

Long-term floor scrubber machine hire provide several benefits, particularly for those looking to conserve capital and avoid the responsibilities of ownership. With long-term floor scrubber hire, you enjoy lower monthly costs compared to short-term arrangements, freeing up cash for other areas of your business. This option doesn't tie up your capital in depreciating assets and offers a way out without the hassle of reselling the equipment. Additionally, long-term floor scrubber machine hire often come with a warranty for the rental period, ensuring peace of mind. Should your needs change, you have the option to purchase the equipment at a predetermined sellout value.
