7 Reasons Equipment Leasing Can Grow Your Business in Tough Times

In this economy, now is the time to capitalize on strengthening your market position. This may seem counter-intuitive to how you feel, however many companies have thrived in down times by positioning themselves appropriately in the market; and then reaping great rewards when things change. Your competition is hibernating just trying to get by, taking no chances and questioning how to operate in this environment. You can use this to your advantage because now is when the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker… or disappear.

How can you strengthen your position? One way is to go ahead and acquire the capital equipment you need to expand your operations, diversify into a new segment of your market, or further differentiate yourself from your competition. Whatever the reason, how to finance these acquisitions can be a difficult decision. Equipment leasing can give you the flexibility, peace of mind, and financial leverage you need to emerge from the credit crunch as the market leader you’d like to become.

Here are 7 reasons why equipment leasing can help you get through the tough times and emerge with a dominant presence in the market:

1. No need to compromise – You don’t have to put off or delay getting the latest and greatest equipment to work for you. Enjoy improved productivity with the right tool for the job, without compromise.
2. 100% Financing – Leasing gives you the productivity and technology you need while meeting your cash flow needs. In addition, “soft” costs such as installation, configuration and service contracts can be included in the monthly payment.
3. Provides a hedge against inflation – Lease payments are fixed and allow you to pay for today’s equipment with tomorrow’s dollars as you earn them.
4. Keep Cash and Lines of Credit – Leasing is a proven way to conserve capital while acquiring the necessary equipment. Leasing does not link existing lines of credit. It allows you to keep capital available for critical areas such as staff, inventory or advertising.
5. Low Monthly Payments – We can customize a leasing plan to fit your budget needs. Payments may be lower than conventional financing.
6. Flexible lease terms – Choose from a variety of lease terms to meet your individual needs. We will quote all the options for you to make an informed decision.
7. Purchase option – If you decide that you want to own the equipment at the end of the lease, you can do so simply by paying the amount specified in the terms of the lease.
