Leasing
You pay a fixed amount over an agreed term for the use of the equipment. Payments are predictable, but you usually commit for the full term. Check what happens at the end: return, renewal or upgrade.
Leasing, rental & profit-share
Commercial coffee machine leasing and rental for UK businesses
Compare how you could pay for a self-serve coffee-to-go station, and what to check before you sign.
Rental
Often shorter or more flexible than a lease, which can suit a trial or seasonal site. Flexibility can cost more per month, so compare the total cost over the period you expect to keep the machine.
Profit-share
The supplier provides the station and the income is split under agreed terms. It can reduce upfront cost, but read how revenue, costs, minimum volumes and the term are defined.
Should I lease, rent or buy a coffee machine?
It depends on your expected daily sales, how long you plan to offer coffee and how much risk you want to carry. Leasing and rental spread the cost; profit-share can lower upfront cost in exchange for sharing income. Compare every option on its total cost and what is included.
