Low Monthly Expenses, Especially During Periods Of Shrinking Or Tight Budgets: Monthly equipment lease payments
are typically lower than payments required by alternative methods of financing.
As a result businesses are able to afford the best and most productive
equipment when needed.
Quick Acquisition Of Commercial Equipment Without Tying Up Important Capital Reserves:
Where most traditional means
of financing often require sizable down payments, leasing can be 100% financing.
Majority of lease programs only call for an initial one or two month payment
advance. Businesses can put equipment to work almost immediately with minimal
initial expense or time delay.
Protection Against Over Utilization Of Essential And Strategic Lines Of Credit:
Many lease payments can be
classified as operating expenses on financial statements and have little
to no impact on credit and bank lines. Leasing enables businesses to preserve
borrowing power for alternative business opportunities or operating downtime.
Numerous Cost Efficient & Industry Specific Competitive And Productivity Advantages:
Being able to acquire the
best and/or most technologically advanced equipment enables businesses
to operate more efficiently, effectively and significantly cheaper than
existing competition. LFI’s diverse financing programs provide businesses
with the optimal advantage of utilizing the best equipment available at
an easily affordable monthly cost.
Elimination Of Costly And Unproductive Equipment Obsolescence:
Unfortunately the newest
and most advanced equipment innovation doesn't stay new and optimally productive
forever. LFI’s comprehensive financing programs enable any business
to utilize the industry’s best available equipment and technology, while
simultaneously providing a highly cost effective method for upgrading and
retooling equipment that has outlived its initial advantages or is unable
to feed growing production or service demands. Most financing and
leasing programs can be easily structured to eliminate the hassle of selling
used equipment at severely depreciated values in the continual effort to
modernize and upgrade.
Significantly Enhanced Equipment Flexibility Throughout The Equipment Lifecycle:
Regardless of the stage of
equipment in its useful lifecycle, LFI’s diverse financing programs enable
businesses to strategically structure equipment programs providing the
ability to move in and out of equipment to fit the unique needs of their
business operations or industry. Additionally, the enhanced flexibility
enables businesses to ensure that if “cutting edge” technology is a necessity
in a given business, operation, project or overall industry standard, refresh
and upgrade programs can be structured within financing programs to accommodate
any flexibility need without the costly and unproductive concern for remarketing
and/or disposition of aged equipment.
Overcome Excessive & Unexpected Equipment Acquisition Expenses:
LFI’s customized financing
and consulting programs provide businesses with more than just the equipment
financing desired. Most leasing programs can be easily structured to cover
the costs associated with delivery, installation, maintenance, training
and other “soft costs”. Customized lease programs are often developed
to include everything required in getting the equipment operational, productive
and generating revenue.
Significant And Reoccuring Tax Advantages & "Real ($) Dollar" Savings:
Equipment purchases made
with cash or credit lines are made with after tax dollars. LFI’s financing
programs can enable businesses to classify lease payments as pre-tax business
and operating expenses, which often, results in significant reductions
in end of year business income taxes. Thus, equating to sizable real dollar
savings. Some equipment lease structures are 100% tax deductible.
Overall Financial Statement Simplicity & Enhancement:
LFI’s customized financing
programs can enable businesses to treat lease payments as simple expense
line items in the monthly cost of normal business operations. This amounts
to nothing more than a simple bookkeeping procedure and all but eliminates
time intensive and complex depreciation schedules.
Fixed Payment Hedge Against Unpredictable Market Or Recession Era Conditions:
As history repeatedly has
proven, interest rates are often unpredictable and can increase sharply
in just a short period of time. Unlike bank lines of credit with variable
interest rates, LFI’s broad array of financing programs can, in nearly
every instance, enable businesses to obtain fixed lease payments with costs
remaining the same month after month regardless of how much future interest
rates may increase.
