With the Digital Switchover scheduled to happen in the South West, West, Wales and Granada TV regions this year, many hotels and B&Bs are faced with the prospect of having to upgrade their TVs and TV aerials. Depending on the number of rooms the cost of upgrading could be considerable.

With this in mind, Comet Business Services has partnered with Real Lease Solutions to provide BHA members with a cost effective leasing proposition. Leasing is used by a whole range of different businesses and there are many advantages to leasing business equipment. 1) Rentals are 100 per cent allowable against corporation tax. The equipment is owned by the leasing company and therefore the rental that you pay is classed as a business expense.

2) Leasing conserves your capital and improves cash-flow. You can enjoy the use of the products without having to purchase them outright. 3) Leasing preserves alternative credit lines. When you lease products your credit lines are preserved for when you need to make vital purchases or investments.

4) Leasing facilitates budgeting. All rentals will be fixed for the term of the lease, making budgeting easier. 5) Leasing allows you to keep up with the latest technology. When leasing products, you can always upgrade during the term of the lease to ensure you have the latest technology available.

6) Leasing provides greater freedom of choice. Very often budgets will dictate the products that you purchase, but because you are paying a fixed monthly cost you may be able to afford to purchase a better spec product.
