Operating Leases for Lab & Biopharma Equipment
How an operating lease works
Operating leasing enables customers to rent equipment rather than purchase it, offering use without ownership responsibilities.
This model transfers maintenance, servicing, and residual risk to the lessor, BioCapital, simplifying budgeting and procurement for customers.
What one monthly payment can include
Operating leases bundle all related costs into one predictable monthly payment, making budgeting straightforward.
This can include: Rent, Maintenance & Service, Insurance, Software Licences and Consumables.
Who carries maintenance and residual risk
In summary, customers enjoy the equipment's benefits while maintenance, servicing, and other obligations remain covered by the rental agreement.
While an Operating Lease may incur a higher long-term cost than owning, the benefits and flexibilities as it provides often outweigh the costs.
Operating Leases are beneficial in avoiding complex CAPEX approval processes as it is simply a rental - not a purchase.
End-of-term options
Return the equipment, extend at a reduced rate, or upgrade to the current model on a new lease.
Equipment that suits an operating lease
Sequencers, LC-MS systems, flow cytometers, imaging and anything else you expect to replace in 3 to 5 years.
