If you are looking at acquiring new equipment- telephone, video computer system etc- What about leasing or financing through your reseller?  If your business is looking at either major expansion or decreasing employees over the next three years or if you want to turn your technology as technology grows look at a 36-month lease option.  If your business doesn't plan on growing consider a $1 purchase option.  In these days, why spend your cash reserve instead invest in your business.  Spend your cash on a marketing idea, hire a temp worker to help with administrative tasks.
