Equipment Loans Vs.
Leasing
(What's the difference?)
1
Should You Borrow Money From
Your Bank to Finance Equipment?
Often, a loan from your bank is one
of the least expensive ways to
finance equipment
Often, a loan from your bank is one
of the least expensive ways to
finance equipment
(If you can qualify....)
There are some drawbacks to bank
financing though...
Mountains of paperwork...
Low approval rates...
Loan covenants can restrict borrowing...
Not as tax efficient as a lease
2
Non-bank Equipment Loans
You'll Hear Several Names Used to
Describe an Equipment Loan
Equipment Finance Agreement (EFA)
Capital Lease
Finance Lease
$1 Buyout Lease
They all mean the same thing...
After the last payment - you'll own the
equipment (for a final payment of $1)
There are some advantages to
loans versus leases...
No balloon payments
Immediately write the entire purchase price
of your equipment off your taxes
Easier to qualify for than bank financing
with much less paperwork
Much faster than working through your
bank
There are some disadvantages
too...
You'll usually save a lot more in
taxes by doing a lease
Payments are usually higher than
on a lease or a bank loan
2
Equipment Leases
Leasing has lower payments than
the typical equipment loan
At the end of the term, it's your
choice whether to buy the
equipment or return it
If you want to keep the equipment
at the end, you'll have to pay fair
market value of the equipment
(FMV)
The largest advantage to leasing is
taxation
You may usually write the entire
payments off as operating
expenses
The largest disadvantage to
leasing is the residual
You'll have to make a balloon
payment at the end if you choose
to keep the equipment
