Find Cheap Franking Machines
Investing in a cheap franking machine can save a business time and money in its mailroom. It's as simple as pre-loading your franking machine with credit, then using it to frank your outgoing post rather than stamping it by hand. The result: perfectly aligned postage that is uniform and professional, plus you have the option to print your company logo and other marketing effects alongside.
Saving 30% Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg
Franked mail costs 30% less than stamped mail, and its onboard accounting function means any VAT (20%) incurred can be claimed back. With the Royal Mail about to put up its 2012 postal rates significantly this may be the most profitable time to be a franking machine owner.
Buying A Franking Machine
Buying a franking machine can be expensive - it is a valuable piece of machinery - but the price is reflected in savings and its cost is recouped over time by savings in postage. Franking machines can only be purchased by companies which have been approved by the Royal Mail. A full list of approved suppliers is available on the Royal Mail website.
Cheap Franking Machines
There are many sorts of cheap franking machine to choose from and the buyer must decide what type of model is appropriate, depending on the amount of mail the business sends.
One way to reduce the cost further is to consider using a second hand machine. These can be half the cost of a new machine. The smallest franking machines can cost £500 new but closer to £250 second hand. It's important to include the cost of ink and other franking supplies in your calculation as this can vary between suppliers and can add up - although should never be more than the savings you make from renouncing stamps.
Leasing Costs For Franking Machines
One of the money saving benefits of leasing is the opportunity to upgrade to different franking machines as your business needs change.
Leasing costs vary; for the smallest machines the rental cost can be under £10 a week, whereas for large bulk postage machines can cost over £200 a week.
In a leasing contract, the lease company will typically be responsible for the maintenance of the franking machine. When comparing prices of leases your buyer should confirm whether or not this service is included.
