Equipment Finance Leasing In Canada : Behind The Scenes In Lease Finance & Asset Loans










Will That Be Cash , Or…. Equipment Leasing? Making the Case For Leasing Asset Finance




OVERVIEW – Information on equipment finance in Canada. Lease finance is a solid alternative to term loans and leasing solutions have never been more abundant for businesses financing new or used assets






Equipment finance & asset loan solutions in Canada more often than not boil down to one basic question - Will that be cash .. or lease finance?!



Why do thousands of firms of all size in Canada continue to come back to this great method of financing their equipment, capital expenditures, etc? One of those reasons is simply that they need the equipment for increased growth and profits, and to remain competitive in their industry. Let's dig in.


Acquiring new equipment has a cost attached to it of course. Those capital budgets, whether your firm is large or small, can be a huge drain on your cash flow and working capital needs - cash flow and working capital that you would prefer to have on a daily basis.


Every firm has different reasons for Leasing in Canada. It's kind of the opposite of the old adage of buying on credit as a preferred option to cash . That adage makes less sense when considering new or used equipt options for asset that are expensive, and depreciate!


Different industries have different levels of capital intensity , and increased capital needs often force owners to raise additional equity . Lease finance allows you to conserve cash.. and equity !


For businesses that are in a competitive environment the focus is always on staying up to date with plant equipment, computers, software , etc ( By the way, software can be leased also!)


Numerous issues arise out of asset finance needs - They include budgets, cash flow challenges, miscellaneous related costs, etc.
Let’s look at a quick example: Let’s say your company needs an 80,000.00 piece of equipment for the manufacturing process. What are the options of the Canadian business owner and financial manager?


They are fairly obvious, so which one is best? The options are:

- Pay cash and reduce the company ‘ cash on hand ‘ on the balance sheet

- Draw down on the company line of credit - most firms today need to make maximum use of their working capital and cash is almost never in abundance

- Speak to your Canadian chartered bank about equipment loans

- Lease the equipment



Bank negotiations around term loans and loan covenants and approval times don’t seem to appealing . Lease financing becomes a very obvious first choice. The faster the new equipment arrives and proper lease financing put in place the faster you can continue to grow sales!


Seek out and speak to a trusted, credible, and experienced lease financing advisor and discover how those financing options can enhance your business!
