Lessee Benefits of an ELGA Equipment Lease

Nearly any capital asset can be acquired through a lease. The common thread in each of these benefits below is flexibility. Lease payments and terms may be structured based on a business's particular need. When leasing, businesses receive multiple benefits that traditional financing simply can't match:
  • Leasing provides total financing – Generally, no down payments are required, and lessees pay no extraneous tax, delivery, warranty, or other miscellaneous costs; all costs associated with a purchase can be included in the lease, including delivery and installation
  • Leasing conserves working capital – Leasing leaves lines of credit at other financial institutions free for cash-flow purposes, investments, unsecured loans, or unexpected emergencies
  • Leasing overcomes budget limitations – Most companies are hampered by capital budget limitations from time to time; leasing allows a business to acquire new equipment with easily affordable rental payments
  • Leasing provides security against equipment obsolescence – Upgrade and trade-in options can easily be added to a lease agreement; additionally, there are no risks of equipment ownership, and lessees will never be required to resell or remarket obsolete equipment
  • Leasing can offer tax savings – When properly structured, monthly lease payments may be fully tax deductible as an operating expense; this savings results in a lower after-tax equipment cost—contact us to discuss tax advantages applicable to your specific situation
  • Payments are a fixed cost – Monthly lease payments remain the same for the life of the lease, even if interest rates do not
  • Leasing provides a faster return on investment – Revenues or savings created as a result of the equipment during the first month often will be in excess of the monthly lease payment, thereby providing an immediate return on investment
