The residual purchase price is calculated on the basis of the original purchase price of the device, less an automatic discount on rental installments already paid. For example, the following conditions apply to our core solutions:
-FLEX9+: 70 % of the rental installments paid are credited.
-FLEX24+: 50 % of the rental installments paid are credited.
There are no additional costs or surcharges - everything remains fair and transparent. The longer you rent, the lower the residual purchase price automatically becomes. In contrast to traditional leasing or other rental providers, you can therefore reliably count on specific residual purchase prices from day 1 and remain free of nasty surprises at the end of the contract term.
You can deduct 100% of the rental instalments paid as a business expense for tax purposes, so that your cash flow is optimized in contrast to finance leasing or a traditional bank loan, as you do not need to balance the rental property.
As "flexing" is a rental solution without a fixed term ("operate leasing"), there is no APR as with traditional loans with fixed terms (e.g. 24, 36 or 48 months). As all costs, including insurance, are already included in the rental, a FLEX contract with a later purchase option can even be cheaper than a direct purchase with separate insurance, as we were able to negotiate significantly more attractive insurance conditions due to the volume.
Once the minimum rental period has expired, you can easily arrange the return in your customer account with a click. You will then receive an e-mail with the return recipient's address details - and depending on the asset class, even a return label. You then have seven working days to return or hand over the cleaned device at your own expense.
-FLEX9+: No return fees.
-FLEX24+: An ECO-Invest flat rate of 15% of the original purchase price is charged to ensure sustainable reconditioning of the device.
If the device is returned in good working order, no further costs will be incurred. Normal signs of use are of course not a problem.
