Customer Leasing Benefits
Avoid obsolescence
Leasing provides customers the option to add-on equipment or upgrade to a new piece of equipment to ensure they are always operating with the most up-to-date equipment and technology. |
|
Tax treatment and benefits
Our customers may be able to deduct the lease payments from their corporate income because the IRS generally does not consider an operating lease to be a purchase. Operating leases are generally treated as 100% tax-deductible business expenses paid from pre-tax earnings rather than after-tax profits.
|
Balance sheet management
Since an operating lease is generally not considered a long-term debt or liability, it does not appear as debt on our customer’s financial statement. This makes our customers more attractive to traditional lenders when they need them. |
|
100% financing
With leasing, there is very little money down – perhaps only the first and last month's payments are due at the time of the lease. Since a lease generally does not require a down payment, it is equivalent to 100% financing. That means our customers will have more money to invest in other revenue-generating activities.
|
Customized solutions
A variety of leasing products are available, allowing us to tailor a program to fit our customer’s month-to-month or year-to-year cash flow needs. Customized programs address our customer’s needs and requirements – cash flow, budget, transaction structure, cyclical fluctuations, etc. For example, some leases allow our customers to skip one or more payments without a penalty – an important feature for seasonal businesses. |
