New office design after corona? Leasing can be attractive!

In order to continue to function properly as a company in the current crisis, you run into extra expenses. Think of extra laptops, screens and software packages for employees who need to be able to work from home.

To make your office corona-proof, additional expenses are also required: lockable desk units, plexiglass constructions. signing and disinfection columns. Purchasing these has an impact on your budget. Especially in the current crisis, these types of extra amounts can be unexpected setbacks. And maybe your office needs even more adjustments.

The new office needs adjustments
With the relaxations on the horizon, it looks like we will slowly but surely be working in the office again in the coming period. The function of the office is changing from a “classic workplace” to a “modern meeting place”. Due to the good experiences, basic activities will partly continue to be carried out at home. Office adjustments are often necessary; this includes creating more concentration spaces, more space for co-creation and space for (informal) exchange.

Pay a fixed amount per month
It can be attractive to lease the expenses for these adjustments so that you pay a fixed amount per month. We give you three reasons to choose to lease your (acoustic) office adjustments.

1. Leasing instead of borrowing
To keep cash flow healthy, especially in the current uncertain times, a large investment is not always possible. The government offers bridging credit, but a faster solution can be leasing: you pay a fixed amount per month for a pre-agreed period and thus retain your available credit space.

2. Predictable cash flow
For the financial department, leasing can also be nice, because the costs are predictable. Unlike purchasing materials, where there is no insight into when to make the next investment, leasing depreciates the same amount each month. By the way, it is smart to include the financial department in the leasing considerations, because leasing is seen as operating costs (OPEX) and purchase is seen as a capital investment (CAPEX). The approval procedures for operating costs are often more accessible than for capital investments.

3. Easy to scale up
If you need more materials to expand your team, for example, it is often quick and easy to add.

More advantages of leasing:

• Replace investments with predictable costs per month
• Short turnaround time of the financing process
• Short lead time: quote, order and delivery process
• Possibility to replace the products in the long run
• So you always have access to up-to-date materials
• Able to invest outside the budget cycle
• Able to invest off-balance while maintaining bank liquidity

A fixed monthly amount that includes everything. So you know where you stand every month. Ask us to the lease options!
