Schools Can Now Finance Their Training Spaces
Empowering Schools to Create World-Class Training Spaces
At IndigoFitness, we believe that every school should have access to the best training spaces and gym facilities to support the physical and mental well-being of their students. We’re excited to share some fantastic news that makes it easier than ever for schools to create these spaces.
Starting April 2024, local authority-funded schools can now finance their gym and training equipment through lease options, thanks to new accounting rules. These rules, introduced by the Department for Education (DfE), allow schools to lease essential equipment without the typical administrative hurdles. This change marks a significant step forward, enabling schools to enhance their facilities with the gym design, flooring and equipment tailored to their needs.
Transform Your School’s Gym with IndigoFitness
At IndigoFitness, we don’t just provide gym equipment, we partner with schools to design and create training spaces that inspire. Here’s why schools across the country are choosing to work with us:
- Access to Top-Tier Equipment: With the new leasing options, schools can easily acquire the best gym equipment from racks and rigs, to free weights and cardio. This means you can create a modern training space without the upfront costs.
- Flexible Leasing Terms: We offer flexible leasing options that fit your budget and timeline. Choose from terms ranging from 1 to 5 years, with repayment options that include monthly Direct Debit or quarterly/annual invoicing.
- Streamlined Approval Process: The DfE’s pre-approved asset list eliminates the need for additional consents, making it simpler for schools to get the equipment they need quickly. For investments over £25k, dual authorisation by the Head Teacher and Business Manager ensures smooth and secure transactions.
Important Update for Academies
While local authority-funded schools can start benefiting from these leasing options in April 2024, academies can take advantage of the same opportunities starting September 1st, 2024. With many schools now part of Academy Trusts, this date is crucial, providing ample time to plan and align your gym project with the new regulations. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
