There's no single right answer. It depends on how often you'll use the machine and how you prefer to manage cash flow.

## Buy new

Best when you'll use the machine regularly for years. You get the latest technology, full manufacturer warranty and the lowest cost over a long life.

## Buy used

A lower upfront price for a proven machine. Our used machines are inspected and serviced by our workshop before sale.

## Hire

Ideal for shutdowns, one-off cleans, seasonal peaks, or trying a machine before you buy. No capital outlay, and servicing is handled for you.

## Finance

Spread the cost of a new or used machine over fixed repayments, keeping capital free for the rest of the business. We connect you with our finance partners, who specialise in commercial cleaning machine finance; they set the terms and approve applications. Talk to your accountant about how it suits your situation.
