FINANCE & LEASE OPTIONS

Buying and paying for fire protection systems normally requires a significant allocated capital expenditure budget. This can be an obstacle to fulfilling projects and implementing urgently required fire protection.

Equipro is able to supply fire protection systems through lease purchase options to qualifying customers as well as through the conventional capital expenditure process meaning the cost of the system can be spread over time enabling customers to make the decision to purchase much needed fire protection.

Businesses that purchase fire protection systems through lease purchase also benefit from increased tax benefits (see working example below).
