ADVANTAGES OF LEASING EQUIPMENT
Precisely what is equipment leasing? An equipment lease is a contract that transfers
the right to use the equipment to the lease customer in return for monthly payments
to the leasing company. Ownership is retained by the leasing company unless the
customer exercises a purchase option. It is the cost effective way to acquire the
use of equipment.
Leasing has become the preferred way to finance medical equipment and other equipment
for many reasons:
Tax benefits: Leasing offers the option of deducting 100 percent of the annual
lease payments as a business expense - directly reducing your taxable income. When
borrowing funds to acquire equipment only the interest portion of the loan and depreciation
are allowed to be written off.
Conserves cash: Poor cash flow is one of the primary reasons businesses
fail. No down payment is required when leasing, therefore the customer retains their
cash for other opportunities.
Won't drain your business credit: A lease is a new source of credit
and allows companies to keep valuable bank lines of credit open for other business
purposes.
Greater flexibility: CorLeasing can tailor the structure of your
lease payments to meet the cash flow, budget and cyclical fluctuations of your business.
Leasing also offers longer terms than do traditional bank loans.
Ability to maintain modern equipment: Leasing provides companies
the ability to regularly upgrade or replace equipment, eliminating the inefficiencies
of owning out-of-date equipment.
