Renting Solutions, A smart alternative!!

Operating Lease / FMV Plan – (Fair Market Value Lease)

Rent Alpha offers you a 'pay for use' model and invests its own equity as a residual component while structuring your cash flow, there by offering you the rentals that would be significantly lower than you would pay on other leases or on a hire purchase agreement. Our operating lease solution may be lower as compared to your weighted average cost of capital and any other mode of acquisition.

Under FMV Plan the cost of the asset is recovered from multiple lessees during the economic life of the asset after which Rent Alpha will arrange to recycle the equipment in accordance with environmental laws.

In this rapid economic and technology evolution Rent Alpha understands your need to keep up-to-date with the latest technology and offers you ‘Exchange Plan’ with the objective of providing you complete flexibility to replace those assets originally rented and which you no longer require with assets of similar value without any increase in your rental payment; just a proportionate increase in your rental term. Alternatively you may also choose to pay a higher rental and maintain the duration of the term.

An Example of how your Exchange Plan can work for you over time
Starting with a 3 year Rental Agreement
New Equipments
 
You purchase Rs 1,000,000 worth of equipments
28% Replaced
 
Exchange Rs 280,000 available spend after 13 months
41% Replaced
 
Exchange Rs 610,000 available spend after 25 months
70% Replaced
Exchange Rs 790,000 available spend after 31 months


These figures based on a cone start payment and full utilization of the exchange plan. The amount available for exchange could vary with changes in interest rate.


This plan offer flexibility that cash purchases cannot and, in the unpredictable and ever-changing world of IT, this is a plus. “You’ll have to spend more cash to buy equipment that meets your needs. You are stuck with what you’ve got.” Rent Alpha offers an Exchange Plan which allows you to swap portions of your installed fleet through your rental fleet. If, for example, you have rented Rs1 million of equipment, after 12 months you can swap approximately 28% without increasing your payment. You just lengthen your rental period on that new equipment. “If you find that you have power uses who need more than just desktops you have rented, you can swap for the equipment that you need,” he says. “Another key factor is that you don’t have to swap like for like – you can swap IT equipment for office automation, or desktops or laptops.”

Furthermore, we may also assist you in restructuring your cash flow to suit your business requirement.
