The Advantages of Leasing

  1. Finance 100% With machinery & equipment (M&E) leasing there is often no down payment, and the term of the lease is matched to the useful life of the equipment.
  2. Conserve Operating Capital Leasing keeps your lines of credit open. You don't tie up cash in equity, and you avoid the costly down payments of loans.
  3. Add Service to Your Lease Leases may be structured to include installation, maintenance, wiring, freight, and more.
  4. Increase Your Purchasing Power Lease financing allows you to acquire better equipment and create an additional credit source.
  5. Manage Your Balance Sheet Leases help manage your balance sheet. You'll improve your financials by conserving operating capital and freeing working capital and your bank credit lines for inventory, expansion, and emergencies.
  6. Achieve Flexibility Our variety of leasing products allows you to customize a program to address the specific needs and requirements of your business – cash flow, budget, transaction structure, cyclical fluctuations, etc.
  7. Tax Treatment Leasing offers the option of deducting 100% of the lease payment as a business expense.
  8. Upgrade Your Technology Leasing provides you with the ability to keep pace with technology. You can upgrade and add equipment as your needs change.
  9. Take Advantage of a Proven Equipment-Financing Option Sixty percent of all capital equipment in the United States is acquired through leasing. Indeed, 8 out of 10 companies lease equipment.
  10. Avoid Restrictions Leasing allows you to avoid the compensating balance requirements and loan covenants many banks impose.
