Every budgeting season feels the same: more needs, less funding, and the impossible task of doing more with less. But what if your school could access your current technology needs without the financial stress of large upfront costs? From devices in trolleys to specialist subject ICT to A/V resources, the demand for up-to-date tools in the classroom has never been higher. With limited capital and rising operational costs, many schools are feeling the pressure of budget season.
That’s where our experienced education leasing team at Quadrent can make transitioning to leasing easy.
Students need access to modern devices to engage with digital learning platforms, collaborate effectively, and prepare for a tech-driven future. However, purchasing new equipment outright can place a significant strain on school budgets, especially when upgrades are needed every few years to keep up with technology advancement.
Owning technology outright incurs upfront capital costs, unpredictable maintenance expenses, and outdated assets sitting unused. This cycle impacts financial planning and limits the ability of schools to innovate and adapt.
Quadrent’s leasing solutions offer a smarter, more flexible approach. Instead of capital outlays, schools can spread the cost of technology over time with predictable quarterly or monthly payments.
For example, if a school has an annual capital ICT budget of $30,000 + GST but has a spend requirement of $90,000 + GST to replace devices, that school could lease them for around $2,600 + GST per month, keeping cash flow steady and manageable. This turns technology procurement into a planned, predictable expense, helping schools manage their budgets with confidence year after year.
This allows for better cash flow management and frees up funds for other critical areas like property or school infrastructure improvements.
Leasing helps schools to stay current with technology plus manage e-waste obligations. At the end of a lease term, outdated equipment can be easily replaced with newer models, ensuring students always have access to the tools they need to succeed. Old assets go through Quadrent’s stringent data erasure process and are repurposed or responsibly disposed of to avoid assets ending up in landfill.
Leasing transforms technology management from a reactive, one-off purchase into a sustainable upgrade cycle so you can plan ahead rather than play catch-up.
The benefits of a well-structured and simple lease agreement can help you unlock more for your school with your budget.
