Test Equipment Without the CapEx: Why Rent to Own Makes Sense Now

In today’s volatile economic landscape, many engineering teams and lab managers find themselves stuck between rising project demands and tightening budget controls. Capital expenditure (CapEx) approvals are harder to secure. Tariff surcharges continue to ripple through budgets. And when you’re facing deadlines, delays in equipment procurement can cost more than just time—they can derail momentum entirely.

That’s why TestEquity has introduced a new Rent to Own program, designed to give you the test and measurement equipment you need today, without waiting for lengthy internal approvals or large upfront investments. The program currently features industry-leading Tektronix oscilloscopes—with more flexibility and fewer financial obstacles than traditional purchasing paths.

Why You Need a Smarter Way to Buy

For engineers and procurement teams alike, acquiring essential gear is no longer just about product specs—it’s about access and agility. Projects evolve quickly. Lab expansions can’t wait. But CapEx processes are often slow, rigid, and subject to budget freezes or last-minute cuts.

Even operating budgets aren’t immune—global tariffs, supply chain inflation, and pricing volatility have added new layers of unpredictability. It’s a perfect storm that makes timely test equipment acquisition more difficult than ever. And yet, the need for accurate, high-performance T&M gear hasn’t diminished. That’s where TestEquity’s Rent to Own model comes in.

A Clearer, Simpler Path Forward

The TestEquity Rent to Own Program, now available for select Tektronix oscilloscopes, offers a streamlined solution for budget-conscious teams. Here’s what sets it apart:

  • 12 Equal Payments, No Interest
    Simply divide the list price into 12 monthly payments. There’s no interest, no hidden fees, and no surprise buyout required at the end. You own the equipment outright after the final payment.
  • No CapEx Roadblocks
    By structuring the program as a monthly payment plan, you can often bypass CapEx approvals altogether—accelerating procurement and project timelines.
  • Fully Equipped Packages
    Pricing includes not just the base units, but also bandwidth upgrades, probes, and essential configuration options—everything you need to deploy and go.
  • Return Flexibility
    If your needs change, you can return the unit during the program period (note: no refunds), giving you additional control.

With decades of experience in test and measurement, TestEquity doesn’t just sell equipment, we solve acquisition challenges. The Rent to Own program is purpose-built by our team to remove friction, accelerate access, and keep your projects on track. Backed by expert support and real inventory, it’s more than a payment plan—it’s a smarter way to equip your lab without compromise.
