Equipment Leasing & Financing

There are various options available for obtaining business equipment financing and leasing. All businesses require equipment including computers, vehicles, furniture, HVAC units, and dozens of other expenses. This article explains the differences between equipment financing and equipment leasing so that you can make the best decisions to sustain or grow your operations and maximize your ROI.

If you choose to finance the equipment your business requires, then you are going to make regular payments on a collateral-based term loan until you own the equipment. In this case, a lender advances you the money needed to get equipped, and then, accepts installments payments until the principal is paid back with interest. After that, you fully own the equipment and are therefore responsible for its maintenance. You will also have to have it repaired if it malfunctions.

If you choose to lease the equipment your business needs, then you will never own it. Instead, you will pay a leasing vendor a monthly payment for the use of the equipment. The benefit here is that you are not responsible for maintenance and repair. The vendor takes care of that and your equipment is always kept in working order, which minimizes any downtime that could occur otherwise. When the lease term is over, you can opt to buy the equipment, lease it again, or just return it to the vendor
