Leasing equipment means that the lender either owns or purchases the equipment and lets the business use it for monthly payments. When the lease is finished, the business owner can buy the equipment, send it back, go on leasing that equipment or lease newer equipment.
This is a good way to get the equipment for either new or established businesses. Smaller leases are available using the owners personal credit. Much of the money investors lend each month goes to leasing companies that rent equipment to businesses. The cost of installation training that come with the equipment are financed through the lease. Though lease financing is usually more costly, compared to bank financing, it is more easily obtained.
When the lease is for a smaller amount like under $100,000 it is easier to get and requires less information about the business. When the amount of the lease is higher, deeper financial information is required, along with a more in depth credit picture.
The leasing company gets the equipment from another company. This company initiates a leasing referral to the one that has the equipment. Getting your quote from the company that actually has the equipment is recommended. See if this is a competitive quote. The company that actually sells the equipment wants to know, if the leasing company they work with is overcharging. Plus, this helps you get a better deal.
