WHY the Smiley? Lots of people ask us “What in the heck does a SMILEY FACE have to do with Credit Card Processing and why does everything TMC does, have a Smiley attached to it?”- we love the question and here is the simple answer. MOST business owners do not find JOY in working with their credit card processor- in fact, quite the opposite! So when we decided to take care of businesses and their processing needs, we knew we had to be different. The SMILEY FACE sends a certain message: We are glad to see you, hear you, work with you and to be of service. We CARE about you and we will do everything we can to put a smile on your face. Credit card processing is one of the products we provide but Taking Care of People and delivering a SMILE WORTHY experience is who we are and WHY we do what we do.

Leasing

At TMC, we do have the ability to lease equipment however it is NOT our recommendation: here’s why!

  • Leases are NON Cancellable contracts (no matter what a sales person might tell you).
  • Leases are typically written for a 4 year term PLUS a 10% buyout at the end of the lease.
  • Leases do not stop because your term is up, you must cancel within a specified amount of time and no refunds are issued if you miss the date.
  • Leases do not typically add any additional warranties or repair coverage.
  • Leases do not typically allow for upgrading to newer equipment.
  • Leases are typically a separate agreement above and beyond the merchant agreement for processing transactions.

Leasing very rarely equates to a good deal for a business owner. As a small business, we find it difficult to recommend a product or service we would not personally use. Leasing takes an affordable piece of equipment and doubles or triples (and sometimes even more!) the price of the equipment. In the short term, the small payments for leasing might be appealing, however here are a few facts you need to know that make the long term view of leasing a lot less appealing!

 

In other words, it is almost always better to make a purchasing decision than it is to step into a long term leasing agreement.
