Do You Feel Like a Slave in Your Copier Lease?
Tags: Copier Lease Fort Collins, Copiers Fort Collins, Fort Collins Copier LeasesDo you have a 5 year lease on your copier here in Fort Collins and wish you had not signed the lease at all? Unfortunately, you are not alone in this feeling, but there are still some basic steps you can take if you are in this position. First, you will need to identify WHY you are in this position in the first place. Is it that you overbought initially, the copier is always broke, or you started a business or got the copier when business was booming and now it is not?
Here are some basic steps you can take to lighten the load this copier is placing on you.
If you overbought – Check and see if your church, social clubs, or friends in industries like Real Estate could use some volume and pay a low amount for the use of the copier in Fort Collins. If you signed up for too many pages, you are not using these pages anyway, you may as well get something.
If you went out of business or downsized — See if the copier company or leasing company will allow you to sublease the equipment. Again, you will lose money, just not as much.
If it is a piece of crap — This one gives you the most leverage as you can go to the copier leasing company (the people who paid your copier company cash) and tell them that your copier company can´t seem to fix the copier and you are having constant issues. They will want a record they can compare with your copier company, so if you are not keeping track of service calls, start doing so or contact your copier company in Fort Collins for help.
If You’re a New Business, Don’t Let Copiers Keep you From Getting Off The Ground

One of the necessary expenses is your print and copier needs. Small business owners who negotiate successfully on every other supply often seem to be the ones who end up over-paying on their Fort Collins copier bills. This is unfortunate as most businesses I deal with are usually paying at least 20% more on their current copier, color copier, and print budget than they actually need to! Some of this is due to ignorance. Some is due to being oversold by a copier rep (see the previous article!). And some is due to wasteful office practices.
Copier budgets (if managed frugally and efficiently) can help you make sure your resources are being used wisely. Instead of paying for features and copies your not using (a common mistake!), you’ll know that the $1,000 you saved on finishing options can be replaced by a $15 dollar stapler and a three hole punch! In a compeditive business environment, monthly and up-front savings can be the difference between getting your Fort Collins business off the ground, or having to fold.
For tips, advice, and print analysis, and copier comparison give me a call for a solution that is tailored to your business needs in Fort Collins.
