Lab9 Pro introduces the first leasing formula for Apple devices for entrepreneurs in Belgium. Self-employed people who enjoy working with Apple can lease products just three months after founding the company.
Lab9 Pro’s new leasing formula is unique in its kind. Normally self-employed people can only lease products after one year. The only conditions imposed by Lab9 Pro are that the VAT number must be registered with Crossroads Bank for Enterprises in Belgium for at least three months and that two sales invoices must be submitted. With this formula, Lab9 Pro wants to appeal to start-up self-employed people in particular.
Why lease products instead of buying them? The biggest advantage for start-ups is that they can spread the acquisition costs. This gives freelancers who enjoy working with Apple the opportunity to test out the latest (and most expensive) Apple products, such as the latest Mac Studio or Mac Pro with the M2 Ultra chip, to name a few.
CEO Geert Colman explains why leasing formulas are necessary for starting a business. “Until now, it has been very difficult for self-employed people in our country to lease Apple devices. Their only option was to wait until they had been active for a year and then had to show certain results in order to get a contract. As a result, some self-employed people have already been excluded.”
