| There are numerous benefits to
leasing versus owning:
Frees Money To Generate Earnings
Leasing conserves working capital for use where it will produce
the best return in your business.
Saves Bank Credit Lines
Leasing permits the use of needed equipment while preserving bank
credit lines for short term needs.
Provides Tax Advantages
Leasing provides a more rapid write-off because the lease term is
shorter than the depreciable life of the equipment, and the
monthly payments are often 100% tax deductible as a pre-tax
business expense
Avoid Obsolete Technology & Equipment
When you lease technology or equipment you avoid the risk of being
stuck with obsolete technology, since you may upgrade or add-on
equipment as you see fit.
Avoid Ownership Risk
The value of technology and equipment is in its use…not in its
ownership. Leasing places all of the risk of ownership with the
Lessor, allowing you to upgrade or add new equipment as the need
arises.
Simplifies Budgeting
Budget projections are simple because lease payments are known and
fixed for the term of the lease.
Eases Budget/Administrative Restraints
When budgetary or administrative considerations prevent a capital
outlay, the acquisition of equipment under a lease may be
acceptable.
Improves Financial Ratios
When compared with ownership, leasing has a positive effect on
financial ratios.
Increases Equipment Productivity
Leasing provides regular equipment replacement, thereby increasing
productivity.
