Commercial Leasing
Advantages
Leasing equipment provides many advantages for the business owner. In fact, leasing is used by 80% of all companies to acquire some of all of their depreciating assets. Here’s why:
Conserve your precious working capital
Leasing lets you conserve your working capital, allowing you to use your cash for other purposes. Cash tied up in fixed assets is no longer available to finance important profit generating areas such as inventory, production, marketing, research and development, etc.
There is an old business saying that goes: “Buy what appreciates, lease what depreciates.”
Preserve your existing bank credit lines
All businesses have access to limited credit lines at their bank. Every business must keep their Operating Lines, Demand Loans, etc. within their bank’s total exposure limit. By using the our Intelligent Leasing program, you are opening a brand new non-bank credit line – one that normally requires no down payments, and no outside collateral – while preserving your existing (and future) bank borrowing ability. Leasing provides you with easier budgeting. Lease terms, payment streams and purchase options can be tailored to meet your budget. Special payment structures are also available to match your seasonal cash flow. In addition, because Intelligent Leasing deals are based on fixed rates you are not at risk due to interest rate fluctuations. Take advantage of significant tax benefits Leasing may provide certain tax benefits for Canadian businesses. You should consult with your tax and legal advisers for advice on the potential tax benefits of leasing.
Get more purchasing power
Leasing can actually give you more purchasing power than when using either cash or bank loans! Here’s how: by purchasing equipment with cash or borrowed funds, sales taxes must be paid up front. For example, if you had $100,000 in available cash or through a bank loan, you could only purchase approximately $88,495 worth of equipment, as the other $11,505 would go towards payment of taxes (assuming a GST/PST tax rate of 13%). With leasing, you could acquire the whole $100,000 worth of equipment. Taxes are only paid on the monthly payments! Also, if you used a bank loan, generally your bank will insist that you provide some equity (usually a minimum of 20% of the purchase price) into the transaction, in the form of a cash down payment.
