1. WHY IS
LEASING PREFERRED?
Here are a few reasons why leasing has
merged as the most popular form of equipment financing:
100% Financing. That means no
money down when you lease, whereas most bank loan require a large down
payment which many companies cannot afford.
Credit Scores. Keep your revolving balance low & your revolving availability high - increasing your credit scores.
Longer Terms. Most leases can be
written for sixty months or longer, whereas most bank loan are for
shorter terms.
Tax Benefits. Leasing equipment
is a deductible expense resulting in maximum tax write-offs without
the necessity of keeping interest and depreciation schedules.
Preserves Credit Lines. A bank
is only going to loan a company a certain amount of money. Therefore,
if part of the credit line is being used for equipment loans, less
money will be available for future financial needs. Loans restrict a
company’s borrowing capacity, while leasing expands it. |
