Breaking Barriers To Entry: Start-Up Labs And The Benefits Of Equipment Leasing

Starting a lab is a significant undertaking that, while rewarding, can come with a set of challenges. Among these, the steep cost of acquiring and maintaining laboratory equipment often stands as a formidable hurdle.

This barrier to entry can pose a significant setback, especially if your start-up has limited capital. However, a cost-effective solution exists to help you overcome this challenge: equipment leasing. 

This article will explore how leasing laboratory equipment can propel your start-up lab towards success. It’ll also share the different leasing plans you can take advantage of to get the best of this practice.

Equipment Leasing 101

When you’re setting up a new lab, you may need equipment like microscopes, centrifuges, and more. While essential, the cost of purchasing this equipment outright can be prohibitive. This is where the option to rent a microscope or other lab equipment comes into play. 

There are several leasing options available, each with its own benefits and considerations.  

Leasing Options For Start-Up Labs 

Here are the most common leasing options:

  • Operating/Fair Market Value Lease 

This alternative allows you to rent equipment for a specified period, typically shorter than the equipment’s useful life. At the end of the lease, you can choose to return the equipment, renew the lease, or purchase the equipment at its fair market value. 

Operating leases are ideal if you want to keep up with the latest technology and plan to upgrade regularly. 

  • Finance Lease 

Also known as a capital lease, this option operates more like a loan. You make regular payments over a specified period, and you own the equipment at the end of the lease. This option is suitable if your end goal is to own the equipment. 

  • Sale And Leaseback 

In this arrangement, you sell your already-owned equipment to a leasing company and then lease it back. This option can free up capital tied up in owned equipment while still allowing you to use the equipment. 

  • Master Lease 

This option allows you to lease various pieces of equipment under one contract, potentially from different suppliers. It’s useful if you need to acquire a range of equipment but want to manage it all under one agreement. 

  • Deferred Payment Lease 

This option allows you to defer the start of your lease payments for a certain period, often three to six months. This option can be advantageous when you require equipment immediately but are waiting for funding or revenue to come in. 

Benefits Of Equipment Leasing

Equipment leasing offers several advantages that can help your start-up lab overcome these barriers to entry: 

  1. Leasing allows you to spread the equipment cost over a while rather than paying a large sum upfront. This can significantly improve your cash flow and free up capital for other critical business areas. 
  2. Leasing allows you to use the most up-to-date equipment without the financial burden of purchasing it. As technology advances, you can upgrade your equipment to stay at the forefront of your field. 
  3. The leasing company bears the risk of equipment becoming obsolete, not your lab. This means you can focus on your research without worrying about depreciating equipment. 
  4. Many leasing companies offer comprehensive maintenance and support services. This means you won’t have to shoulder the cost or stress of repairs if something goes wrong. 

These are the general benefits that your startup can enjoy if it leases equipment.

Best Practices When Leasing Lab Equipment 

Following some best practices when leasing lab equipment can maximize your agreement’s benefits. Here are some key points to keep in mind: 

  1. Before entering into a lease agreement, have a clear understanding of your lab’s specific needs. Consider the type of research you’ll be conducting, the equipment you’ll need, and how often you’ll use it. 
  2. Not all leasing companies are created equal. Do your homework and choose a reputable company that understands the needs of start-up labs. 
  3. Make sure you understand all the terms and conditions before signing. Pay particular attention to the lease duration, payment terms, and what happens at the end of the lease. 
  4. Ideally, your lease agreement should include maintenance and support services. This can save you significant time and money in the event of equipment malfunction.

By following these best practices, you can make the best of your equipment leasing experience.

 

Final Thoughts 

The right tools are crucial for your lab’s success. So, whether you need to rent a microscope or lease an entire lab equipment suite, leasing emerges as a cost-effective solution.  

It’s always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or leasing expert to understand which option is the most beneficial for your circumstances.

Lawyer set for his own Hollywood ending with new Wrexham AFC novel

A NOVEL charting the rollercoaster rise of Wrexham AFC could be set for its own Hollywood ending.

It’s Always Sunny in Wrexham appeals to the club’s growing global fanbase and is a captivating, at times crazy, tale of a fanatical fan who wakes from a 10-year coma to find the Red Dragons are now under the stewardship of two A-list superstars.

Featuring a host of well-known local characters, former players, and world-famous actors – Hugh Jackman is now chairman of arch-rivals FC Romans of Chester – the book was written by Andrew Foley Jones and is already capturing the imagination of readers the world over, in the same way the football team has since the arrival of owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Andrew, who hails from Prestatyn, said interest is building in the story on both sides of the Atlantic ahead of his beloved Wrexham’s return to the Football League.

“A lot of ideas are being discussed which are very exciting and I’m in talks about turning this into a screenplay, so it could also end up with a Hollywood twist!” said the dad-of-two.

“It’s a blend of fact and fiction which has gone down a storm in the UK, the US, and other parts of the world.

“I hope is resonates with our die-hard supporters as there were plenty of references to past players, matches and managers; combining that with an off-the-wall narrative that loosely follows the reality of the past three years – which itself is hard to believe! –   it has made for a fun, at times emotional and serious, novel that I’m very proud of.”

Written in the first person, it’s the ultimate underdog story with some very real and true facts thrown in. The time Andrew had to persuade a Mexican on a plane to Qatar that he wasn’t striker Paul Mullin, or when he played in a Mickey Thomas testimonial due to mistaken identity.

The anecdotes come thick and fast, there are twists and turns and as many highs and lows as the club itself has endured, but most importantly of all, it pulls at the heartstrings while tickling the funny bone to the point of fracture.

“I’ve supported Wrexham AFC for almost 45 years, so while my desire to write it was piqued by the takeover and long days spent in lockdown during the pandemic, it’s always been there,” said Andrew, a director of Mackenzie Jones Solicitors, who represented the previously fan-owned club for a number of years pre-takeover and was on the legal team when the acquisition took place in 2021.

“The concept of a man who woke up in 2030 from a coma without any memory of his life beforehand was based on an idea I was previously writing about, and it became the engine for a flurry of weird and wonderful ideas which I managed to weave into something tangible.

“This isn’t a textbook about life, or football or even Wrexham AFC. There are plenty of publications out there which tell such stories much better than I ever could. This is my personal version, reflection, anecdote, memory, history, and ultimately a prediction of the future.

He added: “The rest is fiction, and there’s some surreal stuff in there, stuff to do with politics, popular culture, how society might change over the coming years, alien invasions, Joe Wicks becoming Prime Minister, assassinations, world wars,  but then it’s set in the future so given the unreal, impossible series of events which has taken place since Ryan and Rob arrived at the Racecourse it might not be too far away from reality.”

There’s also a nod towards Artificial Intelligence and how it might shape the future, and interestingly, when Andrew entered a synopsis of the book into an AI app, it threw this out as its summary of the novel:

‘Enter a mind-bending time capsule to the year 2030: a football club’s quest for unlikely glory entwines with a world transforming beyond belief. Explore a captivating and hilarious journey that will spark your curiosity and challenge your imagination. Ultimately, without any spoilers, the rise over the rest of the decade of Wrexham through the league pyramid to the brink of the premier league is a metaphor that anything can happen, that things can get better and that sometimes, fact is weirder than fiction, the underdog can have its day.’

“I hope people like it because it’s positive, it’s good news and what has happened to the football club I have been so devoted to over the decades is amazing, it’s hard to believe after the many lows of this century, from nearly going bust to selling the ground and more,” said Andrew.

“The only way is up, for the fans, the team and given the response I’ve had so far, It’s Always Sunny in Wrexham.”

The book is available as on Amazon Kindle and as a paperback on Amazon.

Tax specialists urge businesses to be prepared for major R&D change

Newport-headquartered tax and accountancy firm Kilsby Williams is urging businesses to be prepared for a major change to the way research and development (R&D) tax relief is claimed from next month.

R&D claims have typically been submitted to HMRC through a company’s corporation tax return. The claims should be accompanied by a thorough report explaining how the company meets the eligibility criteria, and include a detailed breakdown of costs and methodology.

From 1 August, all R&D claims submitted to HMRC must include an Additional Information Form.

 

Lucy Lloyd, R&D specialist at Kilsby Williams, said: “The Additional Information Form requires businesses to collect claims and cost data at a much more granular level, with different data headings and on a project-by-project basis.

“However, we feel that it is unlikely to replace the need for a traditional R&D report in most cases, as HMRC are still keen to see an explanation of the methodology and cost sampling techniques used to prepare the claim. Furthermore, there are often parts that we write which include test reports, photographs and other detail that can be included succinctly in our technical narratives.”

 

The form must be submitted through a new online portal, separate from the corporation tax return, from August.

The form should be completed before or at the same time as the corporation tax return and failing to do so will immediately render an R&D claim as invalid.

 

Lucy said: “There is limited awareness within businesses of the requirement to submit the Additional Information Form as many have assumed it is similar to the reports already prepared. However, the consequences of failing to submit the form are severe with the claims automatically being invalidated with no method of reinstatement.

“This represents a further milestone in the ongoing changes to the R&D administrative and legislative landscape. It has never been more important to speak to an advisor to ensure your claim meets the current criteria and all administrative requirements.”

 

Established in 1991, Kilsby Williams works with clients from across South Wales, the Midlands and London, ranging from sole traders to companies in international quoted groups.

Revitalising Retirement: “How Embracing Homesitting Added Spice to Our Lives”

Research this year from Aviva[i] suggests that four in five (80%) over 65s liked the idea of working through retirement, and that continuing to work in later life can improve people’s mental and physical health, boost their wellbeing, and can keep loneliness and isolation at bay. Increasingly, the desire to work after retirement age is prompted by money worries, with latest data from the Office for National Statistics suggesting the cost-of-living crisis is putting retirement out of reach for many with a record 1.5m over 65s still in the workforce, and more than one in ten either in work or job hunting in the three months to April[ii].

But this is welcome news for Homesitters Ltd who is actively recruiting individuals and couples who are retired or in part time employment, and readily available, to employ as home and pet sitters.

Ben Irvine, Director of Operations at Homesitters said: “Many people spend up to a third of their life in retirement so keeping busy and doing something purposeful like homesitting can make sense financially and health wise. This flexible and fun role can boost a pension income and contribute to wellbeing as it offers the opportunity to travel in the UK, meet people and spend time with animals. Our homesitters tell us they feel happier and better off through homesitting, with some wishing they had known about the role sooner.”

 

Sue and Gordon’s Story

One such couple is Sue and Gordon Heels, an adventurous duo in their mid-sixties from Bedfordshire, who decided to embark on a new chapter in retirement as Homesitters after seeing the role advertised. At the time, Gordon was preparing to bid farewell to his engineering technician job at a communications company, while Sue continued her work at the local authority, where she compassionately helped troubled teenagers. Both were approaching retirement with apprehension, wondering how they would adjust to a quieter lifestyle.

Homesitting seemed like the perfect solution – a job that offered flexibility and variety, the chance to travel but also a sense of responsibility, and a clear purpose.

Despite not having any pets of their own, they were thrilled at the opportunity to care for other people’s animals, particularly dogs and relished the joys of dog walking in the countryside as a chance to stay fit and active, regardless of the weather. Also, the variety of assignments gave them a regular change of scene, a refreshing break from their usual routine, and an unexpected chance to spend more quality time together.

When on assignment, Sue and Gordon still managed to attend church services on Sundays which has led to them making friends in different part of the country and even being invited to community dinners and events.

Homesitting also offered surprises, such as having access to a client’s indoor swimming pool daily during their stays and, many homes were not only comfortable but also beautifully decorated with stunning art works. One memorable stay was at a grand Victorian house lovingly restored to its former glory, complete with a stunning antique crystal chandelier in the bedroom.

Far from having a quiet retirement, Sue and Gordon’s decision to become homesitters has allowed them to be adventurous, become closer and explore their love for animals, and build friendships across the UK.

Ben adds: “We are currently recruiting and are looking for sensible and reliable people like the Heels to join our team. Proven pet-care skills and a genuine affinity for animals is a bonus too. In return our homesitters receive a modest remuneration, a daily food allowance and they are reimbursed for mileage when they travel to and from an assignment. Homesitters equally make savings on their home utilities while away from home and on assignment.”

New online casinos

This is easy to explain, because as the demand for online gambling grows, so does the supply of such platforms from operators. All online casinos without exception are looking to expand their audience and attract such a powerful marketing tool as bonuses. Therefore, finding a bestbonusmoney.com in a matter of minutes will not be a difficult task for a British player. However, to quickly find and correctly choose a new online casino for an exciting and profitable game, you should know some of the nuances and features of this area, which we will discuss in detail below.

How to find the best online casino

Before you plunge into the world of gambling and big winnings with a minimum of effort, you need to find the suitable playground to follow. Our sincere recommendation would be to visit specialized sites that rank casinos according to various criteria. For instance, to find the best new UK casinos of 2023, you might want to check out new online-casinos.co.uk. Here you’ll find dozens of young casinos with lucrative welcome offers, licenses and minimum deposit requirements, such as Papaya Wins, Richy Farmer, Lucky Barry and many other new and upcoming gambling platforms. Specialized online casino rating websites not only save time on finding the casino operator but also help identify the key casino parameters that all new players should know about. With the help of specialized sites, you’ll be able to choose a new online casino according to your personal preferences, depending on what you’re looking for: a huge catalogue of games, instant withdrawals, availability of sports betting, daily bonuses or even everything and at once within 1 online casino.

However, these sites offer you a long list of new online casinos to choose from and a legitimate question arises: “What should you be guided by when choosing a new online casino?”

How to correctly choose the right operator among the enormous number of new online casinos

Once you’ve found a new casino for UK players, you need to make sure you get the best deal possible so that your game is a truly enjoyable, fun, safe and profitable experience. In order to make the right choice, you should pay attention to the following criteria:

  • License. The first thing worthy of special attention is casino licensing. Only in such an online casino you can be sure of transparency, honesty and integrity of the operator. The most authoritative licensing body in Britain is undoubtedly the Gambling Commission. However, there are many international licensing bodies that are also legal and safe, such as the relevant authorities in Curacao or even Malta.
  • Choice of games. The variety of games influences the amount of excitement you’ll be spending your free time in a casino. Not only the quantity of the games themselves, but also the variety of categories is worth mentioning. At new online casinos you can find popular game categories such as Slots, Table Games, Live Casino, Instant Games, Jackpots, Megaways and many more.
  • Game providers. This criterion will also affect the transparency of the game and its addictiveness to the user. Pay attention to who the casino game provider is, these days casinos tend to partner with global online gaming giants like NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Play`n`Go, Microgaming, Evolution Gaming and others. The terms of a particular game (RTP, paylines) also depend on the manufacturer, so fairness and potential profitability also depend on the manufacturer to a certain extent.
  • Welcome Bonus. This is your chance to get extra funds or spins at no extra cost, meaning you increase your capital for future bets and winnings. There are in the form of a percentage on deposit, no deposit cash bonus and freespins.
  • Bonus programme for regular players. This includes the VIP program, where with each new level the bonuses get nicer and bigger. In good new casino bonuses should be provided not only for new players, but also for those who for a long time faithfully and actively bet within the online casino.
  • Variety of deposit methods and choice of funds. The simplicity and speed of payouts depend on it. New UK casinos accept methods such as debit or credit cards, cryptocurrencies, e-wallets, bank transfers, prepaid cards and more
  • Customer service. How quickly you can contact support and how many ways to get it depends on how quickly you can resolve an issue you don’t understand. Newer online casinos have a 24/7 live chat function, and you can also contact them by email or phone number.

Undoubtedly, pay attention to the design and ease of navigation on the site is also worthwhile, but the above criteria constitute the basic functionality of the site and guarantee an honest and exciting immersion in the world of online gambling.

Play responsibly

To avoid trouble in the form of gambling addiction, it is judicious and careful approach to the game. Gambling in unlimited quantities and prolonged uninterrupted play can lead to serious consequences, where after a manifestation of addiction you may lose a lot of recklessness and earn deep psychological problems. To avoid such consequences, there are ways for UK players to self-limit within an online casino. You can set your own deposit limit, take a time out or self-exclude yourself. You can also ask for help from support, where they can help you take a break if you feel an addiction is starting to take hold.

The best new online casinos for UK players

When choosing an online casino, everyone has different objectives – some are keen lovers of classic table games and are looking for the best offers, some hunt for the latest slots from the best manufacturers, for some a varied daily bonus program is fundamentally important. For such seemingly different purposes, everyone will be able to find an online casino just for themselves.

A new online casino 3 deposit bonus is an additional reward that players receive when they make a deposit into their gambling account. It is one of the most popular promotions offered by online casinos and it has its advantages for both new and regular players.

What is a Casino Deposit Bonus?

A casino deposit bonus is a privileged reward that a player receives from a casino when they make a deposit into their gambling account. It is one of the most common and attractive types of bonuses offered by online casinos. The idea is to attract new players and encourage regular players to make a deposit and continue playing.

A deposit bonus can take many forms. The most common types of bonuses include:

  • A percentage of the deposit amount: A casino may offer a player a certain percentage (for example, 100% or 200%) of their deposit amount as a bonus. For example, if a player makes a deposit of 100 GBP and receives a 100% bonus, then another 100 GBP will be added to their account as a bonus, giving them a total bankroll of 200 GBP.
  • Fixed bonus amount: A casino may offer a player a fixed amount of money as a deposit bonus. For example, a casino may offer a 50 GBP bonus for a deposit of 100 GBP or more.
  • Combination bonus: Some casinos may offer a combination of a percentage of the deposit amount and a fixed bonus amount. For example, a player can receive 50% of the deposit amount up to 100 GBP plus a fixed bonus amount of 20GBP.

Receiving a deposit bonus is usually subject to certain conditions. These can be:

  • Minimum deposit: The casino may set a minimum amount that a player must deposit to receive the bonus. For example, the minimum deposit may be 20GBP.

Casino deposit bonuses are beneficial for players because they allow them to increase their bankroll and have more opportunities to play and win. However, you should carefully read the terms and conditions of each casino before you receive a bonus and start playing.

What are the benefits of choosing a casino with a deposit bonus?

  • Increased bankroll for playing: The bonus allows the player to have more money in their account, which increases the possibilities for betting and playing a variety of games.
  • More opportunities to try out different games: Thanks to the bonus, a player can try new games or experiment with different strategies without putting their own funds at risk.
  • Reducing the risk of losing your own funds: The bonus allows you to play at higher stakes or make more attempts without significantly affecting your bankroll.
  • Increased chances of winning: Thanks to a bonus, a player can have more money to play with, which increases their chances of success and winning.

Standard deposit bonus terms and conditions

The standard terms and conditions for receiving casino deposit bonuses include several key aspects that players should consider:

Minimum deposit requirements

A casino may set a minimum amount that a player must deposit in order to receive a bonus. For example, the minimum may be set at 20 GBP. If a player makes a deposit that does not meet the minimum deposit requirement, they may not be able to claim the bonus.

Requirements for wagering the bonus

The player must meet the wagering requirements to be able to withdraw the winnings received with the bonus. This means that the player must place a certain number of bets or wager the bonus amount a certain number of times. For example, if the bonus is 100 GBP and the wagering requirement is x5, the player must wager 500 GPB before they can withdraw the winnings received with the bonus.

Restrictions on the use of the bonus in certain games

Some casinos may restrict the use of the bonus to certain games or betting types. For example, a bonus may be available only for slots or may be excluded from being used in progressive jackpots. It is important to read the terms and conditions of the bonus carefully to make sure that the player can use it in the games that interest them.

Minimum deposit in online casinos

Online casinos with a minimum deposit are a great offer for those who don’t like to take risks by placing large bets. Such gaming platforms offer many advantages for any gambling enthusiast, especially for players who are just starting their journey into the world of online casinos. Min deposit £3 casino – it sounds almost unrealistic, doesn’t it? But no, such casinos exist, and what’s more, they have a big place in the life of every player. What are the advantages of such a casino, are there any disadvantages to playing with a minimum deposit, and how to start playing in this online casino and more you will find out in our review.

What are the advantages of online casinos with a minimum deposit?

In our review for players from the UK, we want to reveal the main advantages of playing at a casino with a minimum deposit. This gaming site is definitely for you if you:

  • looking for a casino with different payment methods. This option allows you to choose the desired money service with the most favorable conditions. All of them differ in the size of minimum and maximum limits, time of the money transaction, and the amount of commission.

Are there any disadvantages of online casinos with a minimum deposit?

Of course, any online casino has both its advantages and disadvantages. Although there are much fewer disadvantages, we believe that we have no right to keep silent about them.

  • Lack of a wide range of bonus offers. Usually, casinos offer more bonuses for those who deposit more than the minimum deposit. For example, there are bonus offers where you have to make 2 pounds deposit a specific amount that is above the minimum, and only then you can get your bonus. In such a case, you can get bonuses with which you definitely have a chance to win significant amounts.
  • Requirements for creating high stakes. Some games, unfortunately, do not allow you to place bets with a minimum deposit.
  • Minimum withdrawal limits. Payment systems can set certain restrictions on the size of the minimum amount to transfer winnings to your own account, as well as set specific limits on low amounts.

To summarize the pros and cons of casinos with a minimum deposit, it should be noted that when choosing a gaming platform, you should pay attention not only to the size of the minimum deposit but also to such important factors as the availability of a license and data encryption, how secure the creation of money transactions is, and how favorable the casino offers you.

How to start playing at an online casino with a minimum deposit?

Success Comes at a Price for Ineos’ Grenadier 4×4

Ineos, the British chemicals and automotive company, has been forced to take drastic action after buyers began to hawk their Grenadier 4×4 vehicle at mammoth resale prices amid production delays.

Those seeking to buy a brand-new Grenadier straight from the manufacturer will have to wait a staggering 12 months for delivery – and stump up £65,000 for the privilege.

And that has given rise to an opportunity for shrewd operators to thrive…

Who are Ineos?

Founded by billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Ineos is a British company that owns a huge slice of the global chemicals industry.

They have since diversified into other areas including automotive retail, while the brand also lends its name to a cycling team that contests the annual Grand Tours.
Ineos hasn’t quite had as much success as its predecessor, Team Sky, who won the Tour de France five times between 2012 and 2018. The cycling odds give Ineos riders an outside chance to win the gruelling French race, with more familiar names like Jonas Vingegaard instead favoured in the Tour de France betting.

It’s the firm’s Grenadier 4×4, which has been championed by the likes of Jeremy Clarkson, that has generated most of the column inches for the company of late. Considered an alternative to Land Rover and similar-sized vehicles, popularity has boomed – at a cost to would-be buyers.

So some have bitten the bullet and instead purchased a ‘nearly new’ model from a reseller, who have bought up stock from independent dealers with low delivery mileage.
An Ineos spokesperson has confirmed that they will limit the supply of new Grenadiers to retailers that adopt a similar resale strategy, with orders already cancelled where it was found that the buyer had the sole aim of immediately listing their vehicle for sale upon delivery for a handsome mark-up.

It’s another source of frustration for motorists, with the sale price of used cars increasing by an average of £4,000 since 2020.

Who is Jim Ratcliffe?

Billionaires don’t have to worry about such things as second-hand cars – they don’t come much richer in the UK than Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
Having made his money via his Ineos chemicals firm and its many subsidiaries, Ratcliffe has diversified his portfolio into automotive and sport.
As well as the Ineos Grenadiers cycling team, he is the majority shareholder in the French football club Nice, although he is yet to experience the kind of success there that his investment – bringing in the likes of Kasper Schmeichel and Ross Barkley – might have warranted.

So Ratcliffe has a new target in his crosshairs: Manchester United. Although his is a sporting interest given that he grew up supporting the Old Trafford club, a shrewd businessman like Ratcliffe will know that United, as a publicly listed and globally popular concern, also offer the potential for huge profits. Indeed, they posted revenue of around £540 million in 2022 alone.

Whether he can bring them more success on the pitch remains to be seen, but Ratcliffe’s returns in petrochemicals and automobiles suggest he knows how to get the very best out of his investments.
