At Utility Rentals we can wrap a lease around pretty much anything!

Here at Utility Rentals we have a vast range of equipment available to schools through rental, from cookers and sewing machines, to 3D printers and laser cutters, even energy efficient lighting and playground canopies! But if you’re interested in acquiring new equipment for your school and you’re struggling to afford to purchase it outright, the chances are we will be able to help – even if it’s not a product we currently offer!

It’s not uncommon for schools to approach a supplier regarding new equipment, then receive a quotation that they really want to proceed with, only to find that they don’t have the budget available to progress. But you may be interested to know that this doesn’t necessarily mean the project needs to be forgotten about or left until a later date. At Utility Rentals we can wrap one of our genuine operating leases around it and help you spread the cost, by renting it to the school over a number of years. We can sit in the middle as a purchase partner, which ultimately means that you can proceed with the equipment of your choice, from the supplier of your choice, immediately and pay for the use of the equipment, rather than struggle with a large capital outlay. Schools who can’t afford to purchase the equipment they want outright, often have to acquire a small amount of equipment at a time over a number of years instead, but this can be a lengthy and frustrating process, whilst some are unable to proceed with the project at all. Whereas renting enables you to proceed with a whole project, acquiring the exact equipment you need and avoid having to compromise on the quality of equipment too. Plus, with the rental of equipment, you are simply invoiced either annually or quarterly, which can be paid using the schools revenue budget, thus freeing up capital budget for other uses within the school.

As with the equipment we already rent to schools, we can include the cost of any additional services such as delivery, installation, a warranty or even maintenance charges within the rental payments for you – helping to spread the cost of the entire project in to manageable chunks. This means you can have complete peace of mind, knowing that you are protected against any initial set up costs or any repair costs you may not have budgeted for further down the line. What’s more, we will not only help you obtain the equipment, but the team here at Utility Rentals are happy to take the stress away from staff at the school by liaising with the supplier on the schools behalf and take care of any administration surrounding the acquisition process. But that’s not all, you’ll always be in safe hands, as the team will continue to provide any guidance and support you may require throughout the duration of the rental.

Our rental payments can be made annually or even quarterly on some products, depending on which suits your school best and as they are fixed for the duration of the rental contract, the school is protected against inflation. They are also due on the same date each year, enabling schools to plan their budgets accordingly. We have been working with the education sector for over 30 years and so understand the stringent criteria schools need to follow. But that’s why our rental agreements have been carefully designed to ensure they meet with any local authority guidelines.

So if you’ve got equipment you can’t afford to purchase and think our rental contracts may be able to help – no matter how big or small – contact us today on 01628 667373 and a member of the team will be more than happy to learn more about your project.
