Leasing is the easiest, most affordable way to keep
up with the equipment demands of your business. While
technology will always be changing, not every business
has a budget readily available that lends itself to
these changes. More and more business owners are realizing
the benefits of leasing as a cost effective means of
acquiring up to date technology. That's why today, 9
out of 10 companies lease their equipment and leasing
accounts for nearly a third of all capital equipment
purchased in the U.S. each year.
100%
financing
Your lease can include soft costs such
as software, training, installation, maintenance, sales
tax, freight / shipping and other costs traditionally
not included with bank financing.
Minimal upfront
costs
No large down payments or cash deposits
are required with your LEF lease. Your first and last
payment is all that is needed to have your equipment
delivered to you.
End of term
flexibility
Leasing gives you the option to take
ownership of the equipment, upgrade it, extend your
lease, or return your equipment if it is no longer needed.
Tax advantages
With a Tax Lease, most businesses can
write off 100% of the monthly payment as an operating
expense. Also, leasing allows customers to pay for the
equipment with pre-tax dollars rather than after-tax
profits. Please consult your accountant about the tax
treatment for your company.
Customized payments
Your lease payments can be structured
to match the monthly cash-flow of your business or the
economic useful life of the equipment. Leasing also
offers terms longer than other forms of financing, which
results in lower monthly payments.
Maximize your
cash-flow
Leasing allows you to preserve your
working capital and bank lines for other operating expenses.
Avoid technological
obsolescence
LEF bears the risk of technological
change, which prevents you from owning outdated equipment.
Upgrade provisions can be added to most leases, which
are a simple way to hedge against obsolescence.
