You know you need new or additional
equipment. You know it will improve productivity and make
your business more profitable. Leasing may be the
solution. But still you wonder, "Can we afford it right
now?"
Yes,
You Can!
Leasing is one of the
fastest-growing ways of financing equipment in business
today. A recent Gallup survey found that 80% of U.S.
businesses lease a portion of their equipment. The list of
companies using leasing ranges from the Fortune 500 to the
family store. |

A growing
business is apt to face the dilemma of limited cash flow
and the need to add equipment. Leasing can put that
equipment to work for you without a major capital
investment and with real cash-flow advantages.
Low Monthly
Payments
Your monthly lease payment will usually be lower than the
payment requires by other methods of financing. You can
actually afford more of the best with leasing.
Acquire Equipment Without Tying Up Capital
Where other types of financing require a hefty down
payment, leasing is 100% financing. Most lease agreements
require an advance of only one or two month's payment plus
a security deposit. Leasing puts the equipment to work for
you immediately, at a minimal up-front cost.
Protect Your Lines of Credit
Lease payments have no impact on your credit lines with
your bank. Your borrowing power is preserved for other
business opportunities.
Maintain a Competitive Edge
The latest and best equipment lets you do the job faster,
more efficiently and cheaper than the competition. Leasing
gives you the advantage of the latest available technology
at a more affordable cost.
Eliminate Obsolescence
"The newest innovation" doesn't stay new. Leasing gives
you today's best technology and then lets you upgrade when
the equipment has outlived its advantage. You can
eliminate the hassle of selling equipment at a depreciated
value.
Take
Care of the "Hidden Costs"
Leasing gives you more than just the equipment. It also
can cover the cost of delivery and installation. Your
lease includes everything it takes to actually put the
equipment to work for you.
Realize Tax Advantages
Purchases are made with after-tax dollars. Your lease
payments are usually considered a pre-tax business expense
and as such may reduce your taxes.
Simplify Accounting
Lease payments are little more than a line-item in your
monthly cost of operations - a minimal bookkeeping effort
that frees you from time-consuming depreciation schedules.
Guard Against Market Conditions with a Fixed Payment
Remember 1980, when interest rates skyrocketed from 9% to
21.5% in a single year? Unlike bank lines of credit, with
variable rates, lease payments are fixed - no matter what
happens to the market tomorrow.
Leasing Adds Up to Good Business Sense
A properly tailored lease program gives you the benefit of
having the equipment you need without all the risk and
financial pressures.
