Reduced Risk of Obsolescence
Leasing is an effective hedge against technology obsolescence and decreases both technology and financial risks. Companies need to be intelligent and careful when entering into leases with the intention of refreshing their equipment at the end of the lease. A key step in evaluating how leasing might reduce cost and technology obsolescence risk is to evaluate the all-in cost of existing and past lease programs. Depending on the type of lease structure you enter into, the lessor will assume the risk of obsolescence.
You can regularly trade up your equipment at the end of your lease and structure new financing. Sometimes, it’s even possible to refinance a trade up during your lease, protecting you from your equipment becoming outdated.
Manage Cash Flow
There may be nothing more important to the health and wellbeing of a business than managing cash flow. Being able to lease equipment without making a large down payment allows you to keep more of your cash in the bank. You can use the cash to make additional purchases or use it for operating expenses. Leasing can reduce your upfront costs of expansion and provide you with the cash flow you need. In today’s unstable economic environment, it will also allow you to obtain the equipment you need immediately and be able to conserve a portion of your cash for other needs that may arise.
Potential tax savings
In many instances, leasing provides a business with income tax benefits by allowing you to expense lease payments rather than depreciating the capital cost of equipment. Always consult your tax advisor to find out how leasing can benefit the tax position of your business.
With a capital lease, you’ll assume liabilities of ownership for accounting purposes; however, you can likely deduct the full amount of your lease payments.
Leases offer several tax benefits to businesses. Lease rents are tax deductible and reduce the overall taxable income, The tax savings can be further invested in the company to increase profitability.
