The financial benefits of an equipment lease are clear to small business owners across the nation.\u00a0That’s why data indicates 85 percent<\/a> of all companies lease equipment, and that 89 percent of these companies plan to do so again in the future.<\/p>\n

In fact,\u00a075 percent of all companies that lease equipment say leasing is their best means for financing equipment purchases.<\/p>\n

The various types of equipment leases<\/a> available provide business owners with a chance to acquire high-end equipment they might not otherwise be able to afford, not to mention the promise of special tax breaks<\/a> down the line.<\/p>\n

However, the advantages of equipment leasing go well beyond the monetary.<\/p>\n

Asset maintenance<\/h3>\n

Buying equipment is one thing, but what about maintaining it? Leases give small business owners the option to structure their arrangement to include installation, maintenance and other necessary services.<\/p>\n

Current technology<\/h3>\n

Even businesses that have the funds necessary to purchase equipment know they\u00a0must\u00a0constantly\u00a0play catch up. If it seems like a new piece of updated equipment is released to the market every day, it’s because it’s not far from the truth.<\/p>\n

Leasing is the ideal option to remain on the cutting edge of business equipment<\/a>, making it easier to obtain state-of-the-art tools and machinery, whether it’s for a restaurant<\/a>, medical practice, general office environment or anything in between.<\/p>\n

Ease of use<\/h3>\n

Applying for a business loan<\/a> from a bank can be a long, complicated process that involves reams\u00a0of paperwork and\u00a0lengthy wait times. On the other hand, leasing equipment instead of borrowing money to buy\u00a0it\u00a0gives business owners a simple, straightforward way to get what they need. Owners can also avoid requirements like compensating balances, large down payments, client list reviews and cash-flow projections.<\/p>\n

Variety of options<\/h3>\n

Finally,equipment leases come in all shapes and sizes. This means small business owners can count on finding an option that suits their specific needs.<\/p>\n

For example, one type of equipment lease is the Purchase Lease. This is a traditional lease agreement with low monthly payments that allows owners to purchase leased equipment at the end of the lease,\u00a0renew the lease or return the equipment.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, with\u00a0the Dollar Buy-Out Lease, you can purchase your equipment for just $1 at the end of\u00a0the lease term. This typically means higher monthly payments, but it remains a great option for business owners who believe the equipment they’ve leased will not significantly decrease in value by the time their term ends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
