Guilty As Charged ! It’s OK To Be Accused Of Exploiting Commercial Equipment Lease Companies In Canadian Business Financing





This Is Why You Should Lease Equipment !

Information on why Canadian business should use commercial equipment lease companies as the most popular method of asset acquisition .




Guilty as charged? You should be. We’re recommending it! We're talking about exploiting commercial equipment lease companies in Canada for your financing needs.

We're told that exploitation is ' utilization, especially for profit'. That’s what we think you should be doing when it comes to considering lease financing in the Canadian marketplace. Let's explain why and how.

Naturally when we talk about ' exploiting ' we think it’s fair to say it has to be to a mutual advantage, i.e. the lessor and you the lessee should be in a win win scenario. It’s all about maximizing the benefits.

To put it simple lease companies solve financial challenges you may be facing in acquiring assets.

We constantly preach that to get into the ' exploitation' mode that we're talking about here you have to know the lay of the land.

Therefore it’s important to understand who the players are in the industry and how they differentiate themselves from each other. That could be a full time job in some cases, and apparently you've got one already! ... so it makes sense you want to attach yourself to a lease financing expert who can clearly differentiate the players with respect to their financial offering , their deal size, credit criteria, and types of equipment lease offered.

So in what ways can you exploit lease financing to your advantage. There are several, and if we had to summarize them they would come under the categories of economics, working capital preservation, balance sheet and income statement benefits, as well as just ease of acquisition.

When it comes to economics its all about cost of ownership, and the lease versus buy decision. You have to do some basic analysis around why you want to lease finance and that often boils down to the actual use of the equipment at the end of the lease, not at the beginning as most think!

We constantly see business owners and financial managers in Canada doing a not too bad job of finalizing a lease transaction at inception, but they often fail to consider mid term and end of term economic implications .

One of the great economics with commercial equipment lease companies in Canadian busines is the sale leaseback - it’s a strategy that replenishes your working capital and maximizes your owned, unencumbered assets.

Issues such as taxes and depreciation often fail to excite the business owner as lessee. And count us in that group also! But we do caution clients to discuss accounting, tax and deprecation benefits around business lease financing and how they might positively impact your financial statements.

If you’re an astute lessee you can save hundreds, and often thousands of dollars based on some simple understanding of lease rates, why they are important and why they might not be.

Clients don't always believe us but a low monthly payment or interest rate doesnt mean anything when it comes to other aspects of your transaction such as down payment, skip payments, end of term obligations, calculation of a buyout, etc.

There's an old joke among lessors who maintain they will give you any interest rate you want as long as you sign ' their ' lease contract!


Exploit commercial equipment lease companies to your advantage. Maximize benefits; minimize the downside by some careful analysis. Not feeling qualified? No problem. Speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor. Let’s get exploiting!
