Conserve Cash and Working Capital – Leasing allows you to keep your cash available for opportunities such as acquisitions, marketing, working capital, or seasonal cash flow requirements.

 
Preserve Credit Lines — Leasing allows your existing credit facilities to remain untouched – ready to use for other short and long term needs.

 
Pay as you go – Monthly payments allow you to pay for the equipment as you use it – your only initial cash outlay is the advance payments. Therefore your capital is not tied up in the equipment.
 
     
 
 
Equipment Obsolescence – Leasing lets you upgrade your equipment to the latest technology allowing you to avoid the inefficiencies of owning out-dated equipment and software.

 
Tax Benefits – Lease Payments may be fully tax-deductible as an operating expense. Under the tax code you may also be able to take advantage of accelerated depreciation. Under Section 179, you can write off up to $100,000.

 
Overcome Budget Limitations – If a limited budget would defer or prevent the acquisition of equipment / software then leasing is the answer. Leasing allows monthly budgeting and the acquisition of equipment to be put in the operating budget when the capital budget has been depleted.

 
Financial Reporting – Under an operating lease, GAAP rules do not require you to report a lease obligation as debt (off-balance sheet), whereas with a loan, GAAP rules require the debt to be reported on the financial statements.

 
Down Payment – Leasing requires a small cash outlay (usually two payments) to initiate the lease, whereas a loan normally requires a 20-30% investment.

 
Loan Clean-up – Leasing does not require an annual review or clean-up of loan covenants which is usually required for a loan.
