Frequently Asked Questions

• Are the payments tax deductible?

  Tax deductions are available. Speak with your accountant to find out more.

• Are there different finance options available?

  Yes, we offer different finance options. From rental, rent-to-own, and chattel mortgage options, DGSHAPE Finance can find a solution to best suit your needs.

• Can I add on equipment to my existing rental agreement?

  Organising additional equipment during the rental term is simply a matter of signing off on a rental document that runs beside the existing one. This allows you to increase your rental equipment without extending the term, or to add equipment and extend the term so that the rental payments are similar to your current agreement.

• Can I cancel and hand back the equipment before the end of term?

  If you return the equipment before the end of term you must pay for the balance owing. Most clients prefer to upgrade to new equipment and take out a new rental agreement.

  It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure the equipment is insured at all times.

• What if I want to upgrade to new equipment during the rental term?
