Let's say you're a business owner considering whether you should purchase or lease your next copier for your office.

There are several questions that you will need to ask when the time comes to decide, and that's where we come in.

The day-to-day life of a business is busy. When things get busy we become concerned with things like reports, who's making the next pot of coffee, and projects.
