Link To Buy vs Rent Analysis Spreadsheet

Over 80% of all matting is rented from a laundry service company.   The main reason cited for using this service is convenience.  As shown in the above spreadsheet it is certainly not more cost effective.  It is much cheaper to purchase high quality mats than to have them changed every week.   High quality mats are guaranteed for 3-5 years of useful life.  The main maintenance required is daily vacuuming.  The cost of periodic deep cleaning is included in the cost of owning the mats.  The initial cost of the mats can be leased or financed to reduce the impact on cash flow.  The savings will more than provide an adequate return on investment.
