Why Use Leasing Companies Instead Of Your Banks

Why Use Leasing Companies Instead Of Your Banks

Just had a customer three months ago decide to go to their bank to get a loan on equipment because the rate was 4.75% and ours was 8.95%. I went over all the benefits of leasing but they were stuck on rate. (As customers with good credit are)

Just today he called me and wanted to know if I could refinance his equipment because the bank is reporting the equipment on his personal credit and dropped his score from 746 to 671 because of his debt to income ratio.

Also the equipment is on his balance sheet making it hard for him to get approved on more equipment needed. This is a good example for a business owner who was trained his whole life lower rates are better, but when it comes to equipment for your business even though a lease may cost you slightly more at the end of term the benefits are much greater than a bank loan in most cases.

Be sure to consult with your tax advisor prior to making any equipment  acquisitions, as they will guide you as to which best fits your needs.
