Financial leasing: a disguised loan
With a lease, you finance the purchase of a machine that becomes (or will become) yours.
Consequences :
- Firm commitment of 36 to 60 months, almost impossible to break
- Maintenance and breakdowns remain your problem
- At the end of the contract, you own a machine that has 5 years of intensive use
- Leasing often appears as a debt: it weighs on your borrowing capacity for your real projects (renovations, second room)
Cardihome rental: a service, not a debt
- All-inclusive monthly rent: maintenance, parts, replacement in case of breakdown
- The equipment remains recent — we exchange aging machines
- Upward flexibility: add machines when your gym grows
- A simple deductible operating expense, not a debt

When does leasing make sense?
Let's be honest: if you are sure to keep the same machines for 7 years and have a technician on hand, leasing may cost less overall. For everyone else — growing box, equipment running 12 hours a day, not wanting to manage breakdowns — renting wins.
