Calgary Lock & Safe is now offering leasing options to our clients, which might sound a little strange if you're most familiar with leasing a vehicle. So how could leasing your doors, locks, automatics and more from Calgary Lock & Safe help your business?
Essentially, a lease is a legal document whereby the leasing company, our partner, buys equipment and loans it to you for a monthly payment over a set term, with an option to purchase the item at the end of the term. When you lease an automatic door, for example, you're essentially financing the door over anywhere from 24 to 66 months. Working with our leasing partners, you can determine what the final amount owing at the end should be according to your needs. You can minimize that final amount left to pay, making it an easy buy out at then end and essentially, you've used a leasing tool to finance your purchase.
