When
deciding whether to lease or buy, consider the following advantages of
leasing:
- You pay little or no down payment,
and monthly payments are low
- You pay only for the portion of the
equipment you will use during the lease term, and not for the original
purchase price financed over a long term with a retail purchase
- You are not locked into owning
equipment that becomes obsolete and difficult to liquidate;
depreciation is no longer a concern
- You pay only for what you use, and
you have the opportunity to obtain new equipment when needed
- You remain current in today’s
changing world, as upgrades and replacements are easily available
- You have the option to buy should
you desire
- Payments are 100% tax deductible as
an operating expense; because lease terms are usually less than the
equipment’s useful life, a lessee may be able to amortize the cost of
the equipment faster through tax deductible rentals rather than through
depreciation
- No collateral is necessary other
than the equipment itself
- With equipment that carries a
warranty, you always stay within that warranty with the flexibility of
upgrading the equipment
- Payments are a regular business
expense that comes out of pre-tax income instead of after-tax profits.
Working capital can then be applied to other areas that will generate
more profit
- Leasing covers your equipment
acquisitions while established bank lines and other credit lines remain
intact for other uses. In fact, leasing can improve your balance sheet
by recurring long-term debt
- The lease cost is a fixed monthly
rate for the life of the contract. Budgeting and planning becomes
easier and there is a hedge against inflation. By establishing the
amount of the lease payment today, you are actually making use of
tomorrow’s less valuable dollar
- A lease can be tailored to your
customer’s specific needs -- financially and operationally. Payments
can be made to fit their budget
- Equipment pays for itself as it
helps to produce sales and profits Leasing ultimately saves you time
and money

Leasing ON-LINE Credit Application
To calculate what your monthly payment
(Debt Service) would be on your franchise loan, and to properly help
determine operating cash flow and business projections, simply plug in
the loan size, term (number of years) and interest rate.
* Most start-up franchise loans are
SBA (Small Business Administration). We also offer non-SBA loan
programs. Terms are negotiable only for “stronger” borrowers.
•
note – currently the interest rate is 6% (2¾ over prime
rate variable). Terms are usually 10 years on leased space and up to 25
years if Commercial Real Estate is included in the loan. Also, the
minimum loan size is $100,000.
The
results of this loan payment calculator are for estimation purposes
only.
The result will be a close approximation of actual loan repayments, if
available,
at the terms entered from a financial institution.
Figures
can be adjusted to preferred amounts.
Enter
only numeric values (no commas), using decimal points where needed.
Non-numeric values will cause errors.
