Leasing Your Coffee Machine With Kaldi Will Save You Big

Owning a coffee shop can come with a long list of expenses. Your basic and advanced equipment will be one of your biggest expenses. Some machines can cost thousands of dollars for top quality coffee machines. The best way to save money is to leasing your coffee machines as opposed to buying or renting. If you are just starting up your coffee shop (or you've always preferred buying your equipment outright), perhaps it's time to review some of the up sides when you are leasing a coffee machine.

First, there are the major differences between buying and leasing coffee equipment. It might be tempting to pay for your equipment at once, but remember that sometimes wholesale costs can still be big expenses for startups as well as established coffee shops. It might feel nice knowing you own that brand new espresso machine, but small, monthly payments might be better on your budget in the long run. Most leasing deals also come with an option to buy, so look at leasing more like putting installments on your future property.

Renting can be a bit more of a risk when you consider all of the small costs down the road. Maybe you aren't quite certain buying an espresso machine will make enough money to justify such a large purchase. It seems like a safe and sensible move on your part, but what if you start brewing up more espresso shots and frappes than you know what to do with? If you're renting instead of leasing, then you might have just paid for months of rent that could have gone toward lease payments. And now you'd have to shop around for a machine with leasing options. Also, leasing often has tax incentives that renting just can't offer.

It might be tempting to run out and purchase everything you think you're going to need upfront, but don't over extend your budget. Kaldi has coffee machines available for leasing in several affordable payment plans. Let Kaldi.com help you get set up the right way today.
