How to get Equipment Financing & Leasing for your Business

By maxpv3


What It Is: Equipment leasing is basically a loan in which the lender buys and owns equipment and then "rents" it to a business at a flat monthly rate for a specified number of months. At the end of the lease, the business may purchase the equipment for its fair market value (or a fixed or predetermined amount), continue leasing, lease new equipment or return it.



Appropriate for:
Any business at any stage of development. For start-up businesses with no revenues, "small ticket" leases, those of $100,000 or less, are feasible on the personal credit of the founders or owners-if they are willing to make the monthly payments.

Supply: Abundant. Of the billions of dollars individual and institutional investors pour into the capital markets each month, a good hunk finds its way to leasing companies that use these funds to purchase equipment on behalf of small businesses. With more and more money flowing into the markets, leasing companies are flush with capital. As a result, they are eager to do business and respond to competition with lower monthly rates.

Best Use: Financing equipment purchases. Leasing can also finance the soft costs often associated with equipment purchases, such as installation and training services.

Cost: Lease financing is generally more expensive than bank financing, but in most instances it's more easily obtained.

Ease of Acquisition: Easy for leases of less than $100,000. An application for a small-ticket lease is generally no more complex than a credit card application. Leases for more than $100,000 require detailed financial information from the business, and the leasing company conducts a more thorough credit analysis than it would for a smaller transaction.

Picking a Location for Your Business

Drive traffic and fuel growth with the right real estate
Business legend has it that if you build it, they will come. Building it, however, requires time and capital – and there's no guarantee that anyone will ever come. That's why smart business owners seeking a new or startup location study up on a subject they probably haven't touched since seventh grade: geography. Your business location can make or break you, whether you own a restaurant, a retail shop or even ... Read more
