1. Do your customers need new hardware or software, but do not have the cash to fund
it?
Trevor Benton working with CF the UK’s leading finance supplier, has the answer
Leasing
Leasing is not just for businesses who can’t afford to pay cash. Companies both large and small now
realise that leasing is the cost effective way to keep up with a changing market.
Almost anything can be leased; the principles and benefits of leasing can be applied to a wide variety of
products.
The most obvious is office machinery i.e. photocopiers, printers, computers, IT equipment, vending
machines. But that's just the beginning - security systems and air conditioning are also examples of
office related equipment available to lease.
It's not just hardware - its software too!
Not many companies realise that software can be leased. With multi-user licenses becoming ever more
expensive, leasing your software is a very attractive option.
Not just in the office
CF also lease equipment across a wide variety of markets. From fish and chip frying ranges to shop till
systems CF has leased equipment and software across the complete spectrum of the UK market.
Tax breaks mean leasing is not expensive!
Many people believe leasing is an expensive option. This simply is not the case. This is why even large
'cash rich' companies are choosing to lease.
Unlike many high street bank facilities or overdrafts that are subject to the change in market conditions,
a lease facility with its protected payment and fixed interest rates allows for effective future budgeting.
100% allowable against pre-tax profits!
Because finance lease rentals are 100% allowable against pre-tax profits, the total cost of your purchase,
capital and interest can be offset during the lease period, with your payments deducted as a trading
expense. Contrary to popular belief leasing is not expensive, in fact the real cost of your lease can be
significantly lower than the payments you make!
A cash purchase will allow tax relief only on the capital allowances on the equipment. This is currently
40% of the cost in the first year and only 25% in subsequent years based on a reducing balance each
year.
