ICT Leasing for Schools
As technology takes on greater importance in the national curriculum and schools having to be prepared for situations like the present, we understand the importance of having the right technology in your school. However, with tight budgets in the UK educational sector it can be difficult to obtain all the necessary technology.

Funding Solutions
ICT leasing for schools. Whether you are a local authority run school, an academy, private school, further education college or university… we have a solution for you.
Operating Lease
An operating lease is the type of lease agreement that all local authority run schools can utilise. It is a lease agreement where the school does not have outright ownership of the technology bur has all the benefits of owning the equipment. The monthly payments are worked out on a discounted supplier invoice value which results in a cheaper monthly payment plan to fit your budgets.
At the end of the agreement, there is an option to return the equipment or continue with the lease.
Lease Finance
A lease finance agreement is an agreement type that some independent schools select. This allows schools to lease the equipment for fixed rental payments that cover the cost of the asset. Your school then has the option to purchase the equipment at the end of the agreement.
