Q: Can I finance 100% of the purchase
price?
A: Yes, with minimal upfront costs.
Q: Can you include equipment installation in my lease?
A: Yes. Installation and freight charges as well as taxes can be
covered in your lease and amortized over its life.
Q: For how many months should equipment
be leased?
A: Leasing for the shortest period of time you can afford is usually
the best option if obsolescence is an issue. Longer lease terms
are best if cash flow needs to be maximized.
Q: Who is responsible for insurance
and maintenance of the new equipment?
A: As the lessee, you will be responsible for maintaining the equipment
and providing the proper insurance.
Q: Why should I lease instead of paying
cash for the equipment?
A: Suppose you take the cash that you will use to purchase the equipment
and reinvest it in the business. You could use it to advertise,
purchase inventory, or to train or hire employees. Your return on
your investment could be as high as 2025%.
Q: What happens at the end of the
lease?
A: Depending on the type of lease selected, the following end-of-lease
term options may apply:
- Upgrade with new equipment to prevent
obsolescence
- Purchase the equipment
- Return the equipment with no further
obligation
- Renew the lease and continue making
the lease payments
