There are many benefits of equipment leasing.
Here are a few:
- Leasing offers 100% financing and more liberal terms than
purchase. The equipment pays for itself with the profits it
generates.
- Protects equipment from becoming obsolete. Trade-in ,add on,
and upgrade capabilities, allow you to make the needed adjustments
as your business grows.
- The cost of leasing is a business expense, and is therefore
tax deductible for the life of the lease. This is usually shorter
than the normally allowable depreciation schedule. That way benefits
are accelerated.
- Finance all your costs. Certain expenses such as installation ,
freight, and sales tax may be included in a lease. Generally these
items are not financed with conventional borrowing.
- Rather than tying up your bank line of credit, or using cash
operating funds, leasing allows an additional line of credit.
