Talk About A Mouthful Of Benefits In Canadian Business Financing

OVERVIEW – Information on business equipment and business leasing in Canada . How the right choice of a leasing company can provide you with a great number of financial benefits and flexibility

Business equipment financing for the new (or used) assets you need for your company is all about ' common sense' business finance - That means fast approvals and flexibility that makes perfect sense for your firm. Let's dig in.


If we were to ask you to name ten quick benefits of any type of business financing in Canada we quite frankly cant imaging you would name any other type of finance other then leasing . Just think about it.
Ten, yes ten solid reasons to consider a leasing company for your right choice of asset finance.
Let’s recap them -:


1. Technological obsolescence protection,
2. Accounting benefits,
3. Cash flow management,
4. Potential tax savings,
5. Right to own or not own the asset at the end of the lease,
6. Convenience,
7. Ability to match the asset financing to its useful economic life,
8. Pre approval or have a ' lease line of credit ' possibility
9. Quick credit approval (boy do we like that one!)


And finally? A smaller cash outflow!

Whew! That was a mouthful of reasons. Let's circle back on one of those benefits - Approval!


Canadian business financing is more challenging than ever for customers in the SME (Small to Medium Enterprise) sector - That's probably your firm!

The equipment financing industry is on a pretty good roll.

We keep coming back to flexibility when clients ask us about what the best choice options are in business leasing. Always remember that when you choose to finance an asset you can enter into a lease to own scenario, aka a 'capital lease ' , or, continuing on our theme of flexibility, you can opt for an operating lease - which simply states your desire to use an asset, not own it .

Equipment that depreciates quickly, needs to be replaced due to technology, etc, is the perfect choice for an operating lease option.

Asset financing from your business comes out of very different needs - it might be a photocopier for the office, (or computers), equipment for your shop floor, and, even a commercial jet for your corporate meetings! (Well, we can dream, can’t we?!).

Our point? Simply that any type of asset can be leased, and often bundled in with other ancillary services such as installation, maintenance, warranty, etc. Again, there's our flexibility again.

Do you have a personal business relationship with the hundreds of lease companies in Canada? If you do we're jealous, and you obviously have a lot of time on your hands. If you don't, speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can ensure those many benefits of business leasing can be achieved quickly and properly.

On Top Of Trends In Technology Leasing And Business Equipment Financing ? Smart Choices To Increase Canadian Lease Benefits

Successfully Managing Your Leased Asset Strategies


Information on technology and business equipment leasing in Canada . Benefit from asset acquisition via a capital or operating lease .




The ability to stay ' on top ' of what’s happening in technology leasing or financing your other business equipment needs gives the Canadian business owner two things: Options, and of course benefits!

The concept of ' change ' drives a lot of technology acquisition and finance decisions. Business owners and financial managers don't even seem to think twice these days about whether they need to acquire computers, telecom, software, and other ' tech ' type assets the reality is that those improvements to your competitiveness and infrastructure cost a lot!

And let's not forget to mention that new concepts such as Cloud computing, virtual, and grid computing, etc simply bring new burdens of decision making for the owner, finance manager, and IT manager in any small to medium size corporation in Canada. We're somewhat leaving out the larger corporation given they have the assets and tech savvy to wrestle down these challenges in a much easier fashion.

So how do you fund these acquisitions ... the goal seems pretty simple - buying the best and right products and services and paying or financing them in the best manner possible. Easier said than done.

When you think about it what you want to do is not that complicated conceptually - its simply about picking the right financing option and ensuring that the cash outflows, structures, and tax/accounting type benefits match what works for your firm . Again, we know what you're thinking ... easier said than done, right?

Don't forget also that in a perfect world you want to match benefits of your financed assets with cash outflows. That’s why the majority of tech assets are leased; business doesn't want to pay up front and reap benefits over time down the road.

There is a substantial amount of flexibility in the term, or amortization of tech financed assets. Typical terms available range from 2-5 years ... but we always caution business owners that long terms , while they lower the monthly payments, come with a cost re replacement, functionality, obsolescence, reduction in competitiveness, etc. So bottom line, watch the ' term'!!

While for many assets the business owner/ manager is always focused on the implicit interest rate in the least we caution lessees do not overly focus on the rate as opposed to the term, structure and type of lease, conditions , and the all important end of term decision - namely, return, replace, or upgrade .

And getting back to that ' interest rate ' issue, the reality is that in the current 2012 competitive leasing equipment marketplace clients have access to some of the best terms, rates, and structures within the industry, as the lease finance folks are busier than ever, and very competitive . Lease financing is available from bank subsidiaries, U.S. lessors with Canadian representation, and independently owned Canadian firms that service transactions in the small, mid, and large ticket asset area.

One word of caution though, not all firms are both experienced or even have an appetite for tech type assets such as computers, software, cloud computing, etc . It might be advisable to seek the service of a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor to wade through the lease industry ' jungle' on your behalf .

The bottom line - focus on type of lease, and working with the right party. Your ability to manage and finance tech assets will become much easier and give the business owner and manager the feeling that invested and spent funds for business equipment assets are achieving the benefits your firm deserves.

Is a Leasing Company Your Best Choice For Business Equipment Financing – Choose Business Leasing That Makes Sense !

Common sense financing, fast approvals and flexibility that makes perfect sense for your firm - that’s why when you want to lease business equipment a leasing company is your best choice for business leasing financing.

Canadian business financing got really challenging in the last couple years. Traditional financial institutions that funded equpment such as banks and insurance companies quite frankly simply stopped funding your business leasing needs.

Somehow we all survived and as we head into 2011 the equipment financing industry is on a pretty good roll.

We keep coming back to flexibility when clients ask us about what the best choice options are in business leasing.
