Leasing Benefits
More Budget Friendly
Leasing converts a large capital expenditure into small monthly payments, enabling you to acquire new equipment.
With leasing you pay for the equipment as you use it, making it more like an employee as they work. Leasing pays for itself in revenue generation and/or cost savings.
Leasing Conserves Capital
Leasing helps to improve the overall financial picture by conserving operating capital and freeing up working capital and bank credit lines for expenses such as: inventory, expansion and emergencies.
Realize 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 tax deductible as a pre-tax business expense.
Credit Diversification
Leasing complements existing bank relationships, keeping those lines of credit available for short-term needs.
Turnkey Financing
Leasing includes 100% financing of hardware, software, installation, maintenance, training, etc.
