The Best Option For Financing
Acquiring the equipment you need for your business shouldn’t leave you cash-poor. If your business’s working capital is stable or you are required to alter or retrofit your machinery to suit your operations, buying may be your best option. And buying is generally the least expensive model for equipment acquisition. But what if your business is growing quickly, you have capital tied up in other undertakings, or you are in a period of instability? If you don’t have the cash to purchase the equipment you need to maintain or grow your operations, leasing and loan solutions are available.
Financing Solutions That Meet Your Needs
Financing the equipment necessary for the success of your business can keep vital capital in your hands. Loan and leasing strategies both offer benefits to businesses seeking to acquire commercial equipment to sustain their operations. Equipment Financing provides flexible and customizable solutions to get the resources you need while managing your cash flow. Here we explore the benefits of each solution so you can decide which option is right for your business.
Loan It or Lease It?
Nearly 8 in 10 companies finance all or part of the equipment used in their business. Let’s compare the benefits of Loans and Leases of commercial equipment.
A Loan Is Best For: equipment you want to use immediately and own permanently. Usually, these are pieces that are vital for your core operations and that will serve you for a long period of time.
A Lease Is Best For: equipment you need to use, but do not need to own long-term. These may be project-specific pieces or equipment that becomes obsolete every few years.
A Loan Payment Looks Like: the cost plus interest calculated over the loan term. A loan may require a down payment and loans may require a more structured payment schedule. You will own the equipment after the final loan payment.
A Lease Payment Looks Like: 100% financing with no down payment and no upfront costs. Payment schedules can be customized to meet your needs. The lease finances the use (or depreciation) of the equipment and offers options to return, trade-in, or purchase the equipment at the lease-end.
Benefits of a Loan:
-
- Loan uses fixed business assets for collateral
-
- Immediate tax deduction
-
- Higher credit limits since assets put up as collateral
-
- The asset is owned when the loan is paid
Benefits of a Lease:
-
- The leased equipment is the collateral, no fixed assets are necessary
-
- No initial expenditures
-
- Monthly payments tend to be lower than loan payments
-
- Various equipment may be leased under a master lease agreement
