FAQS
We answer your most pressing questions about equipment financing.
Businesses of all sizes, including startups, small businesses, and large enterprises can benefit from a lease to acquire expensive equipment without tying up significant capital.
The contractual agreement offers several key benefits, including lower upfront costs, regular payments, and flexibility in terms. It’s especially useful for acquiring equipment quickly and ensuring businesses can access the latest technology or machinery needed to keep growing.
The lessor owns the equipment throughout the lease term. The lessee may use the equipment under agreed terms, with the option to purchase it at the end of the lease if specified in the agreement. This structure ensures businesses can evaluate the overall value of leasing without the full responsibility of ownership.
The process involves selecting the asset, submitting an application, undergoing credit approval, and signing the lease agreement. Depending on the type of lease—such as operating leases or capital leases—the terms and conditions will vary. Once finalized, delivery is arranged, and monthly payments commence as per the agreement.
Not all leases require a down payment. In some cases, businesses can qualify for short-term leases or long-term leases without upfront costs. The lender valuates the lessee’s creditworthiness to determine the standard terms, including any initial payment requirements.
Lease payments depend on factors such as the total cost, the type of lease, the lease term, interest rates, and the lessee’s creditworthiness. Payments are typically structured as monthly installments, allowing businesses to manage cash flow effectively.
Yes, most agreements include an option to purchase at the end of the lease term. This option may involve a nominal buyout or a pre-determined amount. Businesses can evaluate whether purchasing aligns with their long-term goals and total cost considerations.
Lenders assess a lessee’s financial statements, credit history, business revenue, and the assett being leased. These factors impact the terms and conditions of the lease, helping both parties make informed decisions.
Taxes like Goods and Services Tax (GST), Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), and Provincial Sales Tax (PST) are typically added to the monthly payments. The lessee is responsible for paying these taxes unless the equipment or business qualifies for exemptions.
A lease can provide tax benefits, such as the ability to deduct regular payments as a business expense. It’s important to consult a tax advisor to understand how the lease impacts your company’s financial statements and to maximize any tax savings opportunities.
As the lessee, you are generally responsible for maintenance and service during the term. Leases often include warranties that cover standard repairs or defects, but it’s essential to understand the performance expectations and your responsibility as outlined in the agreement.
