end-user benefits of leasing

Companies choose a leasing option for many reasons. Here’s a list of the most popular reasons our customers opt to lease their technology purchases.

  • The Convenience of One Monthly Payment
    One payment covers equipment, license fee and, where applicable, maintenance.
  • No Large Down Payment Required
    Usually only the first and last payments are required to start a lease.
  • Conserves Capital and Overcomes
    Modest cash outlay; working capital is free for other investments
  • Immediate Expansion
    Capital spending budget limitations are no obstacle when equipment needs to be added or replaced now
  • Preserves Credit Lines
    Unlike a loan, leasing usually does not affect bank lines-of-credit
  • Fixed Payments
    Fixed monthly payments avoid the uncertainty of variable (floating) interest rates typical of bank loans
  • Helps Avoid Technological Obsolescence
    At the end of the lease term, the lessee is not "stuck" with equipment that is no longer useful. Leasing provides many options concerning trade-ins, upgrades and add-ons
  • Provides Tax Benefits
    Leasing offers a variety of tax benefits, including, in many cases, fully deductible monthly payments
  • Matches Benefits and Cost
    By paying for the usage of equipment over the lease term, the customer matches the timing of cash outlays with the benefits of usage
  • Utilizes Off-Balance-Sheet Financing
    Certain lease agreements do not appear on the balance sheet and, therefore, do not adversely affect important financial ratios
