When it comes to business, there are typically two types of situations, and I bet you'll see yourself in one of them.
First up, there's the scenario where you've got everything figured out. You know exactly what your employee needs to do and how their job will look in the foreseeable future. So, picture this: you're ready to hire for a permanent role. Maybe it's an accountant or a project manager, and you’re pretty sure they’ll be sticking around for at least the next couple of years. In this case, it's a no-brainer—buy a laptop. Tech changes won’t affect you as much, so investing in something solid makes sense.
But, if you're looking for a developer or a top-tier designer, keep in mind that the tech world moves fast. New operating systems drop every year, and with them come shiny new app updates. So, the laptop you get today? Make sure it's this year's model to get the most out of it.
Now, let's talk about the other scenario: you're just starting to scale your business or maybe hiring your very first employee. Taking that big leap to buy a laptop might not be necessary. Plus, reselling laptops in India? Total hassle. Instead, consider renting one. You can upgrade, downgrade, or return the laptop as your business evolves—no strings attached. It’s one less thing to worry about, so you can focus on what really matters: growing your business.
And hey, if you’ve decided to go all-in and buy a laptop, consider using an EMI on your business card—it’s a smart move that helps keep your cash flow in check. But if your EMI is already maxed out (we totally get it, fixed costs can pile up), don’t worry. Just go ahead and rent the laptop instead. That way, you avoid any hidden costs and keep things simple.
