4 min read 30 June 2023
You’ve got a successful small business and things are starting to ramp up. Your products are flying off the shelves and you can barely keep up with demand. It’s time to invest in some proper packaging machines so you can scale efficiently. But do you buy or rent? Renting packaging equipment is an option you may not have considered, but it offers some significant benefits over buying, especially when you’re still growing.
For a fraction of the upfront cost of purchasing, you can have high-quality equipment delivered to your door and be up and running within days. No huge capital expenditure, no maintenance or repair costs, and the flexibility to upgrade or switch out equipment as your needs change. Renting is a low-risk way to acquire the means of production to take your business to the next level without the huge financial commitment of buying. Keep reading to find out why renting packaging equipment may be one of the smartest business moves you make this year.
Save Money by Renting Packaging Machines
Renting packaging equipment is a smart move for any small business. Here are a few reasons why:
- Save big bucks. Buying packaging machines outright can cost tens of thousands of pounds, a huge expense for a new company. Renting lets you get the equipment you need for a fraction of the cost. Packaging rentals start at around £15 a month— and when your business has boomed, you can always buy them outright down the line!
- Stay flexible. When you rent, you’re not locked into one type of machine. As your business grows and your needs change, you can easily upgrade to a bigger or more advanced model. Or if a machine turns out to be unnecessary, simply return it. Renting gives you options. Plus, when you rent from RAJA, the range on offer means if you need a new solution quick, we can soon get it sent out to you within 48 hours!
- Reduce maintenance costs. Renting means that either us at RAJA or the supplier themselves will make sure your machine is in working order and cover standard maintenance.
Next time you need packaging equipment, consider renting. Renting truly is the affordable, low-maintenance choice that provides the flexibility and tax benefits growing companies need.
How flexible is renting?
Renting packaging equipment means you have the flexibility to upgrade or downsize as your business needs change. Maybe you’ve launched a new product line and sales have skyrocketed – you’ll want bigger, faster machines to keep up. Or perhaps a product didn’t perform as well as expected and your packaging needs have decreased. With rentals, you can return your current machines and get different ones that suit your new requirements.
Renting also allows you to take advantage of the latest technology without the huge upfront costs of buying. Packaging equipment is constantly evolving, and rentals give you access to the newest, most advanced machines the moment they hit the market. Your competition will be green with envy at how you’re able to implement the latest automated bagging or shrink-wrapping systems to streamline your operations!
Renting packaging equipment provides flexibility, access to new technology, and lower costs. For growing businesses, start-ups, or companies with fluctuating needs, renting could be the ideal solution for efficient, affordable packaging. Why tie up your capital when you can rent exactly what you need?
Why not get in touch?
At the end of the day, renting packaging equipment just makes sense for most small businesses. Why shell out thousands upfront for a machine when you can get the same equipment for a fraction of the cost? Renting gives you flexibility and affordability. As your business grows, you can easily upgrade to a bigger machine. If things slow down, you can downgrade and save money. Renting packaging equipment means you get to invest your money in the things that really matter, like growing your customer base, improving your product, or hiring great staff.
