INTRODUCTION SCANRENT was originally established to fulfill a niche in the Office Automation market where potential customers (that fall outside of formal banking criteria and have either been declined or are too newly established) can be supplied with high quality, pre-owned digital equipment imported from Europe. Our objective is to keep the rentals in-house, off balance sheet and unencumbered and provide a necessary service to customers that require true office automation rental services without the red-tape associated with formal banking institutions
