Leasing: The cost of equipment has come down and it is rarely a good idea to lease anymore. Realize that leases are usually for 48 months and they are non-cancellable. There is usually a buy out at the end also which adds to the total cost.
Packaging or Grouping: Many companies will offer a group of services which sound like a nice package, but if many of the services are really of little value, then you end up paying more than you should for something you don't need.
Hidden Fees: Just make sure that you are getting the full story, before signing up with a company. Many of the services have monthly fees, minimums, transaction fees, and various rate categories related to the type of business you are.
Low Rate Come On: For example, don't get sucked into a long lease just because of one rate that may be low. Usually when there is a rate lower than everyone else by a lot, then that rate is being offset by other fees somewhere.
Wholesale Rates: There are no wholesale rates in most merchant service businesses. Be aware if someone is claiming to offer you wholesale rates. It is usually a scam.
