Benefits to owning vs leasing office furniture

buying-vs-leasing-office-furniture-blog

New office furniture is a significant investment for any business. Leasing, with its lower upfront costs may seem a tempting option, but there are definite advantages to buying new office furniture outright. Before you sign any contracts, consider the benefits of buying versus leasing office furniture.

Why you should buy new office furniture instead of leasing.

  1. It’s cheaper: those monthly lease payments add up, jacking up the total cost of your office furniture. And no matter what kind of month you’re having, you’ve got to make your lease payment. 
  2. It’s yours: owning your office furniture allows for greater flexibility. You can upgrade or downsize your furniture whenever you need too. You can even sell it if worse comes to worse. When leasing office furniture, you’re locked into a contract you have to honor, no matter how your needs change.
  3. It’s a better tax deduction: while you can write off purchases and leasing payments, outright purchases offer a much bigger tax deductions.
  4. It adds value to you business: buying new office furniture gives you assets to put on the books, instead of the liabilities of lease payments.

On Time Supplies features tons of wholesale bulk office furniture bargains that fit the needs of any budget. Check out the selection online, or call us toll free with any questions at 866-501-6055. We’re happy to help you find the right office furniture for your busines.

Elmer’s Glue Stick Giveaway

Update: We have our winners! Congratulations to Jennifer and AnnaMarie for winning the Elmer’s Glue Stick Giveaway!

Jennifer:

This time of year, teachers search through sales ads looking for the best price for school supplies for the coming year. We all have students who cannot afford supplies and so we dig deep into our pockets to provide for them so that they can be excited about returning to school too with brand new school supplies. My colleague and I just discussed the other day where we might find the best price for glue sticks. We both teach 130+students in our 3rd and 4th grade Science classes. With so many students, we tend to go through glue sticks quickly making models, creating foldables and working in our journals. We would love to win Elmer’s glue sticks for our students. Thank you for offering such a wonderful giveaway.

AnnaMarie:

I am a kindergarten teacher and do many projects using glue sticks with them. Many children, coming into kindergarten, need the fine motor skills of cutting and gluing since they were not given those opportunities prior to starting kindergarten. Having strong fine motor skills helps make drawing, coloring and writing much easier! I also have 2 teammates that I would happily share the supply. Thanks for the opportunity!!

Hope you guys have a great school year! Congratulations again! And thank you to all the participants! Don’t  miss our new Paper Mate Giveaway and your chance to win dozens of Paper Mate pens and pencils, plus Liquid Paper correction tape! Good luck!

EXPO Dry Erase Markers Giveaway

Update: We have a winner! Congratulations to Kim, who said:

I use EXPO markers and whiteboards every day as a middle school band director. I’m allergic to chalk, so one of the first things I did as a new director to the school was to cover the chalkboards with whiteboards. Unfortunately, my dry erase markers always dry out before I can order new ones. I also teach at a Title 1 middle school (about 90% of the students are from low-income families and are on the state’s free and reduced lunches). My budget is VERY small, so I typically purchase office supplies (like my EXPO markers) myself out of pocket. My students and I would be so very grateful if we won the EXPO markers.

Very glad we could help, Kim! Everyone else, we’ve got another great giveaway happening right now! Enter the Sharpie Giveaway today for your chance to be a winner!
