Copiers for Legal Offices: Buy or Lease?
Buying a copier gives full ownership, no contract, resale freedom, and a lower long-term cost, but it needs a large payment and leaves repairs and obsolescence to you. Leasing spreads the cost into predictable monthly payments, can include maintenance, and allows an upgrade at the end of the term. The tradeoffs are a higher total cost, strict contract terms with penalties, no ownership, and a limited choice of models. Weigh your budget, how long you’ll keep the machine, and how much your firm values upgrades and service.
