Capital Preservation Leasing lets
companies conserve their working capital, allowing them to allocate cash
funds for other purposes. Cash tied up in fixed assets is no longer
available to finance important profit-generating areas such as inventory,
production, marketing, research and development, etc.
Credit Preservation All businesses have access to
limited credit lines at their bank. Operating lines, demand loans,
mortgages and other term facilities must be kept within the bank's total
exposure limit for that business. By using a third-party leasing company
to finance equipment and machinery acquisitions, you are effectively
opening new credit lines - credit lines that normally require no down
payments and no outside collateral - while preserving your existing and
future bank borrowing ability.
Easier Budgeting Lease terms, payment streams, and
purchase options can be tailored to meet most budgets. Skip leases and
step-payment leases are also available to match a business' seasonal or
anticipated cash flows. In addition, most leases are based on fixed rates
so the customer is not susceptible to interest rate fluctuations.
Financial Efficiency The revenues or cost savings
generated by the use of new equipment and machinery can be used to pay the
lease payments. Expenses are matched to the generated revenues - a sound
business management principle. Leases are also taxed differently than bank
loans, which may be beneficial to your business.
Flexibility In addition to tailored payment
streams, leases can be designed with different types of purchase options.
Moreover, leasing your business assets often facilitates easier upgrades,
add-ons, and trade-ups. |
