Quarterly Takedown Leasing: Streamlining Your Equipment Acquisition and Leasing Activities
Many organizations need to acquire IT systems, equipment and related components on a regular basis. They also recognize the financial benefits of leasing vs. owning for some of their needs. However, the frequency of their needs over time can make leasing any of it extremely cumbersome and difficult to manage. Quarterly Takedown Leases Quarterly Takedown (QT) Leasing directly addresses these challenges by enabling organizations to acquire equipment quickly and as needed while accruing costs on a single Lease Schedule. Lessees can place hardware, software, maintenance and even professional services on a QT Schedule. Each schedule closes at the end of a three month period. This can be a calendar Quarter (3/31, 6/30, 9/30 & 12/31) which is most common. However, you may want the flow different to coincide with your fiscal year or other requirement. It’s totally up to you. With this system, a customer that issues anywhere from 1 to 25+ orders a quarter can decide what they want to lease and manage it on a single Lease Schedule.
