All the cost advantages of leasing
Leasing lets you take advantage of technology’s learning curve. Next year’s model is often less expensive than the current version. Why carry a high-priced dinosaur on your books when leasing gets you the most up-to-date equipment at rates tied to prevailing prices?
Beat the Obsolescence Trap
In the high-tech arena, products are added, modified and upgraded at a rapid pace. The products you need today could be totally outdated next year, or completely incompatible with any vital technology that arises. Leasing protects you from obsolescence.
Maximize Productivity
The most up-to-date equipment means peak efficiency, less duplication of effort, less “people intensive” paperwork, higher work standards and greater employee satisfaction. In other words, it means peak productivity. And, when you lease, you can upgrade or add-on at any time – to maintain peak productivity.
Beat Capital Expenditure Limitations
When your capital budget is limited and/or funds already committed, any necessary equipment can be leased through operating funds. No balance sheet disclosures are necessary.
Eliminate Product Uncertainty
If rapid changes in chip architecture and digital technology are concerns for you, leasing is the answer. Leasing also provides a “try-before-you-buy” opportunity to evaluate equipment and establish optimum configurations before committing to any purchase. Leasing not only eliminates any concerns about the ability of the equipment to satisfy your specific application needs, but also eliminates any risk of technological obsolescence.
Gear Up for Project-Related or Seasonal Peaks
Leasing relieves pressure during peak periods of activity – whether seasonal or project-oriented. With leasing, you maintain optimum efficiency during peak or transitional periods, and you maximize prevailing competitive or economic advantages – all for minimum cost and risk.
Pass Along Leasing Costs
If your revenues stem from contracts for specific projects or contracts of measurable duration, leasing is the answer to any system additions or upgrades needed. You can pass along the lease fee to the contracting company or agency as a legitimate expense.
Maintain Cash Cushions and Credit Lines
Leasing leaves your vital cash and credit lines untouched should a business opportunity or unexpected demand occur. Leasing also frees you from all the financing obligations associated with equipment acquisition. No loans = no effect on credit lines. No cash outlay = no effect on cash cushions.
No Down Payments
Leasing converts a big cash payment to a low monthly payment. Leasing improves your cash flow because payments are fully deductible and matched to earnings – you can finance corporate growth with your cash flow rather than credit.
