Buying a Business Telephone System
The Advantages of having Your IP Telephone System on Premises

Buying a telephone system does not necessarily mean that you have to make a large financial investment right on the spot. Instead, the purchase may be the better solution from a business perspective compared to renting.

Depreciation Methods when Buying a Business Telephone System

In general, bought systems have a longer depreciation period and the investment is spread over a long term. Depending on the country, you may be able to apply for subsidies for digital investments and digital equipment – however, these subsidies typically apply to the purchasing of a system and the equipment.

Amortization: When does the Purchase of a Telephone System Pay Off?
