SAPOR Rentals

Overview

SAPOR Rentals started in 2005 as a finance brokerage business, providing leasing finance solutions for asset-based equipment.

In 2009 we took the bold step of moving from our brokerage business model to a boutique finance house, by approaching and securing the support of private financiers offering them above average returns on their investment. Changing our business model has allowed SAPOR Rentals to capitalize our own deals and we are proud to say we currently fund most of our transaction internally.

Benefits of Operating Leases

  • Facilitates purchase of key business operating equipment.
  • No capital expense (CAPEX) required, keeping your working capital intact.
  • Does NOT reflect in the Balance Sheet, hence no effect on your financial ratios.
  • Reflects as an operating expense in the Income Statement, making it 100% deductable.
  • Existing business credit lines remain unaffected.
  • VAT is paid monthly and is offset against the business’ VAT charged.
  • Escalations can be used to suit cash flow requirements.
  • Ongoing upgrades on equipment.

How This Works

  1. The client selects the equipment (photocopiers, surveillance, telecommunications, etc.) from the supplier.
  2. The supplier helps the client to gather and complete the necessary applications forms.
  3. The supplier submits these to SAPOR Rentals for review.
  4. If approved, the Master Rental Agreement is signed with the client.
  5. The supplier installs the equipment.
  6. The client signs-off that everything has been installed.
  7. SAPOR Rentals pays the supplier in full.
  8. SAPOR Rentals collects the monthly lease from the client.
How This Works
SAPOR Rentals manages the payment process via our in-house debit order collection system. See Admin Services page for further details.
