Partition panels for offices and industry now also available through leasing

Did you know that there is an alternative to buying? OC-System products, such as acoustic enclosures, wire mesh panel and machine guards, are now available to your company with a leasing solution, i.e. long-term rental.

The leasing company Grenkeleasing Oy and OC-System began cooperation at the start of 2022. The cooperation facilitates the rental of all OC-System products with a leasing contract. Prior to this, OC-System was one of Grenke’s customers, meaning that we are familiar with their operating model.

“Customers had inquired after a leasing option every now and then. Our cooperation with Grenkeleasing has been excellent, so we wish to offer this opportunity to our customers as well,” says OC-System’s Managing Director Riku Räisänen.

Leasing is usually associated with cars and IT equipment. In the past years, however, it has expanded from IT products to the office environment, such as furnishings. OC-System’s soundproof, adaptable and movable office partition panels are a perfect example of novel products on the leasing markets. Leasing products such as this is just becoming more common.

“Companies have not necessarily understood that these kinds of products can also be leased,” says Sales Manager Tanja Pasoja from Grenke.

Company renting partition panels benefits from tax deductions and even costs

Leasing is particularly well-suited for companies that wish to invest without having to take on debt. Pasoja hopes that SMEs in particular will discover the benefits.

“SMEs often think that they cannot make investments without cash funds. This can hinder growth,” she says.

One benefit of leasing mentioned by Pasoja is that it means a company’s cash funds are not tied to equipment.

“During the pandemic, many companies noticed that cash funds are needed. Having all your capital tied to a product that does not create profits in itself makes it harder for the company to operate.”

Further benefits from leasing

“Leasing rents are fully tax deductible. This is a benefit compared to payment in installments, where companies can only deduct the depreciations,” Pasoja explains.

Furthermore, the steady costs of leasing facilitate company budgeting. The customer knows the costs for the entire rental period.

Leasing allows products to be rented for a rental period at a time. The average rental period is 1–5 years.After this time, the customer can choose whether to continue the rental agreement, return the product or negotiate of the possibility to purchase the products. Leasing requires that the customer has a clean credit record. The rented product must also be insured. In leasing, the rented product primarily acts as the only security for the funding.
