If you are in business, RentSmart is the cash flow friendly way to finance all the equipment you need whilst giving you the flexibility to ensure you can keep up to date with new technology.

Why RentSmart is the smart way to get the IT you need in your business...

Save your money

Keep your cash in your business to put to better use, not tied up in rapidly depreciating technology items. The maths is simple: you either spend $1,000 on a typical technology purchase today, or elect to pay a little over $9* a week and use the money you would have spent to better use in your business. Who’s smart now!

Tax deductible

If you use your equipment for business purposes, you could claim a tax deduction of up to 100% of your RentSmart rental payments. For many businesses this means they could claim back around a third of their monthly payments. Ask your accountant or tax advisor for advice on how renting can work for you.

Get everything you want today

With RentSmart you can get all the equipment you really need, not just what you think you can afford. You can bundle together a wide range of computer and technology equipment into one convenient RentSmart plan. The difference between getting what you think your budget will stretch to or what you really want can be just a few dollars a week.

Always have the latest equipment

RentSmart gives you access to the latest technology on a continual basis because you can update your equipment on a regular basis. Either add more equipment to your existing RentSmart plan, or trade in your old for new.** It means you'll never be stuck with out of date equipment again. That's the beauty of RentSmart and it's a benefit cash buyers don't have.

Spread the cost

Affordable monthly payments spread the cost of your equipment over its useful life. You can choose from a flexible rental plan over 2, 3 or 4 years. Many customers elect to rent over four years, and then opt to upgrade early after 3** as it gives them the flexibility they need.

No deposits or balloon payments

There are no deposits or balloon payments, instead you simply make monthly rental payments and have the option to choose one of the easy end of the term options.

Easy accounting

As your monthly rental payments are an off balance sheet expense it makes accounting far simpler. There’s no asset to depreciate or liability to account for, just a monthly expense that may be fully tax deductible. Ask your accountant or tax advisor for advice on how renting can work for you.

Protect your business

Ask us about our optional RentSmart Accidental Damage and Theft Protection Plan and our RentSmart Extended Warranty Protection Plans for your equipment which means if your computer equipment fails, your business won’t.

Easy end of term options

At the end of the term you have the option to choose what you want to do with the equipment:

• Keep on renting it (often at a reduced rate)
• Get the latest equipment and return the old kit to us; or
• Offer to purchase it from us at its fair market value.++

Approval in minutes

With RentSmart we can approve you in minutes, whether you're in store, at the office, or online now.

In summary – why not keep your cash flowing!

By choosing to RentSmart, you can improve your cash flow by paying low-cost monthly rentals that may be fully tax deductible; it stays off your balance sheet; and keeps your capital working for you in better ways rather than tied up in rapidly depreciating technology. And as IT changes, you can too!

* - Based on a 48 month term
