Leasing
Versus Purchasing
Here are some
reasons why equipment leasing may be the better choice when it comes to
acquiring new equipment.
Interest
Rates
With equipment leasing, there is a low fixed rate. Some loans do not offer
a fixed rate, and loan rates are typically much higher than leasing rates.
Approval Speed
Leasing is usually completed within 2 business days. A loan can take several
days or possibly even weeks.
Low
Down Payment
Typically, equipment leasing requires only that you pay 1-2 payments upfront.
Those payments are then applied to your balance. With a loan, banks generally
require 10-20% of the total price of equipment.
Financial
Statements Unnecessary
With leasing, inclusion of your financial statements is generally unnecessary
if your transaction amount is below $50,000. With loans, financial statements
are almost always necessary.
Tax
Benefits
Operating lease payments can be 100% tax deductible if they are declared
as an operating expense. With loans, depreciation can only be taken over
the length of the equipment's useful life.
A
Hedge Against Equipment Obsolescence
If you fear your equipment may become obsolete, a lease does not require
that you purchase the equipment.
