Furniture Hire
Demand for furniture hire is very much on the increase in the UK. Firms that offer this service have changed what they have to offer in response to the recession. In so doing they have opened up several new markets for themselves.
Traditional Users of Furniture Hire Services
Traditionally furniture hire was restricted to businesses and housing developers. Many firms hire furniture for their reception areas and offices rather than buy items outright. Some hotels also hire, rather than buy the furniture for their rooms. They do so to help improve cash flow and because of the tax benefits. The cost of hiring furniture for business use is tax deductable and if you are VAT registered, you can claim back the VAT.
Hiring furniture allows you to keep the look of your office or hotel bang up to date. This is important if you want to make a good impression and encourage clients to keep coming back.
Other traditional users are developer. They hire furniture to dress their show homes. Hired furniture is perfect for making a show home look its best. Many developers dress their show homes in several different styles, so they can appeal to a wide range of potential buyers.
New Users of Furniture Hire Services
Demand from commercial businesses has increased mostly due to the recession. Companies see hiring furniture as a good way of refreshing the look of their workplace without having to spend too much money.
However, demand is increasingly coming from private individuals and people who have a single property to rent out. A property dressed with new furniture is much more likely to rent quickly. Many of the companies that rent out furniture do so for great rates, and offer flexible contracts. The best companies will allow you to rent out furniture on contracts that are as short as a month.
Some homeowners are even looking into furniture hire as an alternative to buying their own furniture. It is a really convenient way to deck out a home. If you want to sell your home using hired furniture to bring it up to date and dress, it makes it look far more attractive.
