Purchase options for small business phone systems

To facilitate effective budget and cash flow management for your business, United Telecoms presents multiple purchase options, including Banker’s Automated Clearing System payments (BACS) or rental agreements for a fixed duration.

PBX rentals and upfront purchases for small businesses

By opting for outright purchases via BACS, businesses can get ownership of their hardware, resulting in overall cost savings for the system.

For small businesses seeking greater financial flexibility, PBX rentals offer an attractive alternative, allowing them to circumvent substantial upfront payments. This approach also provides the freedom to easily upgrade, expand, and manage system maintenance.

PABX rental terms span from 12 to 60 months, accommodating diverse needs and budgets. Short-term rental options are also available to cater to specific requirements.
