Apple Financial Services
Apple Financial Services (AFS) provides finance leasing for educational
institutions. It gives you the use of Mac systems for a pre-agreed
cost and period of time, with 100% of the capital cost spread over
the lease period. This flexible finance lease has many operational
and accounting benefits that make the whole finance process simple
and easy to manage, leaving you to concentrate on more important
things — like teaching and learning.

Benefits of Finance Lease

would be able to purchase when paying cash.
