For corporate managers who want to introduce smartphones with low initial investment

When considering the introduction of smartphones for business, many corporate managers face various concerns, such as "high initial costs," "wanting to keep costs down for short-term use," and "wanting to pay by invoice." In this context, the option of smartphone rental for businesses has been gaining attention.

This article comprehensively covers the information crucial for making an informed decision, including the differences between rental, purchase, and lease, the advantages and disadvantages of rental, a comparison of major services, and the strengths of PRODIG's corporate rental services.

What is corporate smartphone rental?

Corporate smartphone rental is a monthly rental service for smartphones intended for business use. Its biggest appeal is significantly reduced initial costs, as there's no need to pay for the device upfront. Since it can be managed as a monthly expense rather than a capital asset, it also helps reduce the burden on accounting.

Furthermore, many services allow invoice payment from a single device, making it suitable for short-term events, temporary use, and procurement of devices for testing purposes.

Comparison of rental, purchase, and lease

Cost (initial cost, monthly cost)

Rentals are monthly, allowing for introduction with low initial costs, and are ideal for short-term use. On the other hand, for long-term use, purchasing or leasing may be more cost-effective.

Differences in accounting treatment (asset vs. expense)

Purchases and leases require capitalization and depreciation, but rentals are treated as monthly expenses, streamlining year-end closing operations.

Response to malfunctions and troubles

With rentals, substitute devices can often be arranged on the same day in case of a malfunction, allowing operations to continue without interruption. With purchases and leases, repairs and procurement of replacements can take time and cost.

Advantages and disadvantages of introducing rental

Advantages

• No initial investment, protecting cash flow

• Smooth accounting with expense processing

• Comprehensive support, such as immediate replacement in case of malfunction

Disadvantages

• Total cost may be higher than purchasing for long-term use

• Cancellation fees may apply for early termination of contract
