The Hire and Rental Process

  • What Are the Business Benefits of Hiring Rather than Buying IT and AV Equipment?

    Saves Time

    Hiring your IT and AV equipment saves time, giving you the chance to focus on more important tasks.

    Cost-Effective

    Choosing to hire your IT and AV equipment rather than buy it outright can save you money and reduce expenditure.

    Offers Flexibility

    With the business landscape constantly shifting, flexibility is key to your success, which makes IT rentals an extremely effective solution.

    Virtually Maintenance-Free

    Hiring IT equipment means that you don’t have to store your equipment off-site, where your assets will soon become redundant and depreciate in value. This helps free up space and capital for more important things.

    State-of-the-Art Equipment

    Choosing to rent your IT equipment allows you to stay up to date with all the latest technology in order to remain competitive.

    Available on Demand

    Available when it suits you, hire equipment can help improve the operational efficiencies of your business.

  • What Hire and Rental Options Do You Offer?

    We offer flexible rental periods designed with our clients and their business needs in mind. Hire Intelligence offers both short- and long-term rentals.

    Below is an example of the short-term renting process:

  • What Is Your Rent-to-Buy Policy?

    Hire Intelligence provides a cost-effective rent-to-buy service that allows you to use the latest IT and AV equipment without investing in it. After 12 months, you can choose to buy the equipment at a reduced cost or upgrade your rental equipment to the latest model.
