Reduce ownership costs with Apple device leasing
Leasing is nothing new. It can be traced back to the Sumerians and Babylonians, who recorded leasing transactions on clay tablets as early as 2000 BCE. Like all good things, it has stood the test of time because it makes good business sense.
Equipping your team with the latest technology is essential for maintaining FLOW—that ultimate state of creativity, productivity and efficiency. However, the high upfront costs associated with purchasing new devices can strain budgets and limit cash flow. A common error by many agency bosses is underspecifying to save money at the expense of quality output.
Device leasing offers a compelling solution, providing businesses with the latest technology at a reduced total cost of ownership (at this time, Digital Arena only offers device leasing to our Managed IT customers).
The benefits of Apple device leasing
Apple device leasing is a financing option that allows businesses to lease Apple products instead of purchasing them outright. This approach offers several advantages:
1. COST SAVINGS
Leasing devices can be up to 20% cheaper than outright purchases. By removing the residual value portion from the lease, businesses only pay for the actual use of the device over the lease term, leading to significant savings.
2. OPERATIONAL EXPENSE (OPEX) BENEFITS
Leasing moves the cost of devices from capital expenditure (CapEx) to operational expenditure (OpEx). This shift helps preserve capital, improve cash flow, and take advantage of tax benefits associated with operating expenses.
3. REGULAR TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES
Leasing ensures your team always has access to the latest technology. At the end of the lease term, devices can be upgraded to the newest models, keeping your fleet up to date and minimising compatibility issues. This continuous upgrade cycle supports operational efficiency and reduces the risks associated with outdated equipment.
4. PREDICTABLE COSTS
Leasing agreements provide transparent and predictable payment structures, making it easier for businesses to budget and manage their technology expenses without unexpected costs. This predictability simplifies financial planning and reduces the administrative burden.
5. PRESERVE AND MAINTAIN CASH FLOW
By spreading the cost of devices over a 36-month term, leasing helps businesses maintain liquidity and allocate resources more effectively. This is especially beneficial for growing agencies or those with fluctuating cash flows.

Here’s how it works
- Cost-effective leasing: We calculate the lease by removing the estimated residual value and dividing the remaining cost over a 36-month term, applying any applicable interest rates. This results in affordable monthly payments for even the highest-spec devices.
- Full warranty and accidental damage coverage: Our leases include a comprehensive warranty and accidental damage package, ensuring your devices are protected throughout the lease term. This coverage minimises downtime and maintenance costs, keeping your team in their flow.
- Seamless device upgrades: At the end of the 36-month lease, we provide your team with the latest best-fit devices. This upgrade process ensures your technology remains current, supporting productivity and innovation.
