Doing business in Clifton

Clifton is a Passaic County city a little more than 10 miles west of Manhattan, and it acts as a commercial center for this part of North Jersey. Its business activity is spread out rather than packed into one core. The Main Mall area is generally treated as downtown, Allwood forms a second business district along Route 3, and retail clusters at Styertowne, Clifton Commons and the Promenade Shops on Route 3 West.

The biggest concentration of office and lab work is ON3, the former Hoffmann-La Roche headquarters on Route 3 that straddles the Clifton and Nutley line. Quest Diagnostics completed a 250,000 square foot laboratory there in 2021, and the campus also houses Eisai, Ralph Lauren Corporation, Hackensack Meridian Health's medical school, Seton Hall nursing and health sciences programs, and a Hackensack Meridian health and wellness center. For printing, that means clinical paperwork that needs secure release, plus the practices, vendors and service firms nearby that want one dependable workgroup machine.

Areas served around Clifton: Passaic, Paterson, Nutley, Little Falls, Woodland Park, Totowa, Elmwood Park, Garfield, Lyndhurst, Rutherford, Bloomfield and Montclair.

What Clifton offices should know before leasing a copier

Sales tax on a longer lease is collected at the start. The rate is 6.625%, and on a lease over six months the full tax is due up front rather than spread across payments. The lessor uses the original purchase price method or the total lease payments method, and the two sides may negotiate which.
Clifton is not an Urban Enterprise Zone, but Passaic and Paterson are on the state's UEZ list. A qualified UEZ business is exempt from sales tax on many items it leases for its own use once it gives the lessor a completed Form UZ-5.
Public buyers have a cooperative route. Municipalities and school districts can use the State Cooperative Purchasing Program, searchable in NJSTART, and skip sales tax on a lease by giving the lessor a signed purchase order or contract. (We do not claim to hold a state contract.)

Clifton questions we hear

Our practice is near ON3 on Route 3. Does it matter that part of the campus is in Nutley?

No. ON3 sits on both sides of the Clifton and Nutley line, and we cover both towns along the Route 3 corridor. Give us the exact street address and any building access rules when you ask for a quote, so we can route it to the partner dealer who serves that location.

We have one office in Clifton and another in Paterson. Can both machines go on one agreement?

We can quote both together, but tax is reviewed site by site. Paterson is an Urban Enterprise Zone, so a machine leased by a qualified UEZ business there may be exempt with a UZ-5, while Clifton is not a zone. Your accountant or the Division of Taxation can confirm what applies.

What should a Clifton medical or lab office ask about before signing?

Ask for held or secure print release, so patient documents print only when the staff member signs in at the device, and ask how the hard drive will be wiped or removed when the lease ends. Tell us your scanning load too, and we shortlist models from there.
