Photocopier Contract Buyout

A lot of businesses are paying far more than they should for a photocopier, and staying put because the contract says they have to. It does not have to be that way. If your current lease or service agreement is overpriced, we can buy you out of it and move you across.

How a buyout works

Send us your existing agreement — the lease, the service contract, or both — and your last couple of invoices. We look at what you are actually paying, what it would cost to settle, and what we would put in its place.

Where the numbers work, we settle what you owe the other supplier, collect the old machine, install the new one and set your team up on it. Your monthly cost from that point is usually lower than it was, and it includes toner, servicing and a three-hour engineer response rather than a call centre.

Where the numbers do not work — for example if you are a few months from the end of a deal anyway — we will tell you that, and tell you what to do instead. Nobody gets pushed into a buyout that does not save them money.

Who this is for

  • Businesses paying a cost per copy or monthly rental that has crept well above the market
  • Anyone whose supplier has stopped answering the phone, or been taken over and got worse
  • Companies that have outgrown their machine but have two years left on the paperwork
  • Offices that inherited a contract with a lease, a merger or a new premises

What you need to send us

  • The agreement, or the name of the finance company and the machine model
  • A recent invoice, so we can see the real monthly figure and the click rate
  • Roughly how much you print a month, in mono and colour

That is enough for us to give you a straight answer, usually the same day.

What we do not do

We do not buy you out of one bad contract into another. Every deal we put in place is on the same fully inclusive terms as the rest of our customers, with the same three-hour engineer response, and we will show you the settlement and the new figures side by side before you sign anything.

Frequently asked questions

Can you buy me out of my current photocopier contract?

In most cases, yes. Send us the agreement and a recent invoice; where the numbers work we settle what you owe the existing supplier, remove the old machine and move you onto a new deal — usually for less than you are paying now. Where a buyout would not save you money we will tell you that instead.

What does it cost to get out of a photocopier lease early?

It depends on how much is left to run and on the finance company's settlement terms. That settlement is what we look at first. If we can absorb it and still give you a lower monthly cost on a new machine, we will; if we cannot, we will tell you what the gap is rather than hide it in a longer term.

What happens to the old machine?

We collect it and return it to the finance company or dispose of it, whichever the old agreement requires. You do not have to arrange that yourself.

How long does a contract buyout take?

We can normally give you a straight yes or no the same day we see your paperwork. From agreement to the new machine being installed is typically a couple of weeks, depending on the settlement process with your existing supplier.

Will I be tied into a longer contract to make up for it?

No. The new agreement is on the same terms we offer everyone, and we show you the settlement figure and the new monthly cost side by side before you sign anything.
