What is the difference between rent and lease rental?

Rent is a no-contract rolling monthly agreement available in South Wales, UK only — you can cancel or swap the machine at short notice. Lease Rental is a fixed-term (3–5 year) agreement available anywhere in the UK with a predictable monthly cost and service included.

Is Perormo's Rent option available outside South Wales?

No — our no-contract Rent option is currently South Wales, UK only because it depends on our local engineers being able to reach you quickly. Customers elsewhere in the UK can use our Lease Rental option, which is available UK-wide.

Is lease rental tax-deductible?

Yes. Lease Rental payments are typically treated as an operating expense and are fully tax-deductible, which is one of the main reasons businesses prefer leasing over outright purchase.

Does rental or lease include servicing?

Yes. Both Rent and Lease Rental include installation, training, scheduled servicing and engineer call-outs — you only pay the agreed monthly fee plus consumables (beans, milk, cups).

Rent vs Lease Rental: Which Coffee Machine Agreement Is Right for You?

Understand the difference between no-contract Rent (South Wales, UK only) and Lease Rental (available anywhere in the UK) — coverage, commitment, servicing and which fits your business.

The short answer

Perormo offers two ways to put a commercial coffee machine in your business without buying outright. Rent is a flexible, no-contract monthly arrangement available in South Wales, UK only — ideal for short-term needs or businesses that want maximum flexibility. Lease Rental is a fixed-term agreement available anywhere in the UK — ideal for businesses that want a predictable monthly cost over 3–5 years with service included.

Rent — South Wales, UK only

Our Rent option is a no-contract, rolling monthly agreement covering machine, installation, servicing and engineer call-outs. Because it relies on our own engineers being able to reach you quickly, it is currently available in South Wales, UK only. You can cancel or swap the machine with short notice, making it perfect for pop-ups, seasonal venues, trial periods or offices that want to avoid long-term commitments.

Lease Rental — anywhere in the UK

Lease Rental is a fixed-term finance agreement (typically 3 to 5 years) available anywhere in the UK. You get a brand-new machine with servicing bundled in, a predictable monthly cost that is fully tax-deductible as an operating expense, and no large upfront capital outlay. At the end of the term you can upgrade, extend or return the machine.

Coverage at a glance

Rent: South Wales, UK only — rolling monthly, no contract, swap or cancel any time. Lease Rental: UK-wide — 3 to 5 year term, fixed monthly cost, machine and servicing included. Both options include installation, training and ongoing engineer support.

Which should you choose?

Choose Rent if you are based in South Wales, UK and want flexibility, a short-term solution or to trial a machine before committing. Choose Lease Rental if you are based anywhere else in the UK, or if you want the lowest predictable monthly cost over a fixed term with full service included. If you are unsure, get in touch and we will recommend the right option for your site, volume and budget.
