“Funding for local authority schools has changed following instructions from the Department For Education where they must now include an operating lease.

Nimans can lease on software-based technologies as well as hardware – on big and small items including headsets and mobile phones, as Tom emphasised:
“For us, we are very competitive; have a really high acceptance rate and take away the pain and alleviate all the hard work for resellers. They don’t need someone in their office spending time going from funder to funder and filling in paperwork for example.
“Nimans offers a dedicated leasing service because we have our own leasing operation within our business. It’s not a broker acting on our behalf. This gives us greater control and a more individual client service.
