WHY LEASE?

Leasing Makes Sense...
80% of companies in the US lease equipment. Consider the following reasons that corporate CFO's and small business owners alike give when asked why.

Leasing Conserves Capital

Money tied up in capital equipment purchases is money unavailable for other uses. Leasing helps free that money to fund growth and investment.

Also, leasing may enable a company to treat equipment purchases as a part of operating expenses, allowing some or all of the monthly payment to be tax deductible.

Leasing is Flexible and Convenient

With less red tape and paperwork than typical bank financing, leasing can be an ally in the war on time crunches and deadlines. Lease payments can be structured to match the lessee's usage of the asset, accounting needs or revenue pattern. Budget projections become much simpler also. Instead of guessing at future capital expenditures you know exactly what you are paying from month to month.

Leasing Preserves Existing Lines of Credit

Bank and trade credit are unaffected by leasing through non-bank sources. Your ability to borrow for short term needs is not impeded by the purchase of long term assets.

Leasing Provides a Hedge Against Obsolescence

An equipment lease can be structured to provide a defense against rapid technology change. With proper term structuring, upgrade options and flexible purchase options, you can shift the resale and obsolescence risk, freeing up time to be spent on more valuable pursuits.

Leasing Makes Good Economic Sense

By providing an additional source of equipment funding, lower initial costs and ease of execution and disposal, leasing just makes good sense.
