Business Leasing - How to Get Approved for Lease Finance For Your Equipment Needs
















Information on lease finance solutions for the acquisition of new or used assets to run and grow your business. Business leasing solutions almost always make sense and conserve cash flow





Factors Affecting Your Equipment Financing Approval




Business leasing and lease finance
continue to play a main role in your overall equipment acquisition strategies. In Canada the equipment financing industry is very mature and developed, and as a business owner and financial manager you have a number of financing options. Most lessors are non bank entities and are much focused on certain types of assets and lease types that are offered.

Let’s examine how you can maximize your chances for approval for your asset finance acquisition. It is important to know how the other side thinks and behaves – That other side is your lessor. Your lessor is motivated in three ways, and if you know those motivations you can focus on maximizing the benefits in leasing and, of course, get approved.

We can safely say that the three motivators for any lease company are the tax and accounting benefits they derive from leasing you equipment, the interest rate they charge you on the transaction, and finally the asset re sale or disposition if the asset is structured as a return to a leasing company.

Let’s focus on lease company motivator # 3 for a moment – the remarketing of the asset. If you do not want to retain ownership of the asset at the end of the lease you are probably going to want to enter into what is known as an operating lease. The key elements of any lease structure are: term of the lease, interest rate, value of your transaction, the monthly payment, and you obligation at the end of the lease.

Therefore it is important to focus on a firm that specializes in operating leases if you intend to approve the equipment – and getting to the core of our subject matter, your lease approval on an operating lease becomes much easier if you structure a financing that meets both your requirements and the lessors.

We can safely say the most critical element in getting your transaction approved is the overall credit quality that your firm portrays on your lease application and supplemental business info that might be required by the lessor. You should know that the smaller your equipment lease the less attention will be paid to overall credit and due diligence – that just makes sense. In Canada many leases under, say $ 50,000 as an example are credit scored via some basis info that the lessor acquires on your firm or the business owner. This data might be a commercial credit report, a credit report on the owners, and viewing some payment experience with some of your other suppliers. Small ticket leasing in Canada is very easy to acquire.

The larger challenge comes when you are acquiring assets over the 50k range. If your overall credit and financial position is weak you can well be expected to offer up items such as additional collateral, a down payment, or a guarantee buyback from the vendor.

Your focus on getting approved is the challenge, so you should know that there are different tiers of credit quality, and the lessors adjust the rate on your transaction to reflect the overall credit quality of your business, taking into consideration the asset also. So if your firm does not have pristine credit you should still be 100% aware that lease financing can still be approved and is available. Factors that now come into play under this scenario are the higher rate, a down payment request, etc.

Clients are always asking how they can position their transaction for approval. The reality is that you are, in many ways, in charge of your own approval. What do we mean by that .Simply by putting together a basic package that focuses on key areas such as your years in business, your ability to make the lease payments in question, your industry experience, etc can often garner a positive approval?

Financial statements may or may not be needed for your lease approval – this often depends on the amount and the policies of that lessor. If you are required to provide financials then the focus will be on historical cash flow. We tell clients that it is a bit of an irony that many lessors use your historical cash flow to approve your future dealings. From our perspective that was then and this is now!

In summary, you as the lessee can be key factor in your business leasing and lease finance approvals .Understand the type of lease you want, position your company in the best light possible by preparing the data we have shared with you that lessors focus on, and be fully aware that lease approvals of any size can be properly structured to make sense for both parties, your firm, and the lessor. Speak to a credible, trusted and experienced business lease financing advisor to ensure you get the approval you need and deserve for equipment leasing in Canada.

What if… You Could Negotiate the Best Rates and Terms for Equipment Lease Financing in Canada ?

















Equipment Financing Negotiation Basics

Information on equipment lease financing in Canada. The ability to understand equipment loan basics around cost and structure is a key factor in successfully acquiring new assets




Canadian business owners and financial managers want to know they are getting a good deal when they enter into an equipment lease financing transaction. In a perfect world it would be nice to be an expert in all things we do – reality says that is not the always possible.

However in leasing finance and equipment leasing some key basic knowledge can put you way ahead of the game. Let’s examine some of those key basics. By ensuring clients have some of the basics under their belt, so to speak, can alleviate their concerns that equipment leasing is complex and technical. It can be, but it doesn’t have to be.

When you are entering into an equipment lease financing transaction you should be aware that you have the ability to enter into one single lease, or, if you choose, you have the option of entering into one master lease. The single lease application in Canada is the most basic form of equipment financing. Utilizing a single form application and lease you should use this form for smaller transaction – a good limit on that size of transaction is 50k and under.

If your firm is a regular leasing prospect and has the ability to source and work with a trusted partner you should consider a Master Lease scenario. This document allows you to acquire future equipment while utilizing the same terms and conditions you have negotiated once up front. That clearly saves you time and some expense, as well as solidifying the relationship with your leasing partner.

You should ensure you understand some of the key points that affect the overall benefit of a solid lease rate, term, and structure. Some of these key points are warranties, how tax is paid and calculated, and your maintenance obligations.

When you enter into a Master lease, which is generally recommended as an investment in future financing, you should understand that your equipment leasing company has immediately gained a significant advantage in that all their competitions doesn’t have such an agreement in place with your firm. For that reason you should ensure you are getting a competitive rate.

In meeting with clients we continually feel they don’t full understand how lease pricing works, as well as how to get the benefit of something that approaches the best possible pricing. The reality is that some key factors totally influence your overall pricing and your ability to present those factors in the best light ultimately leads to successful lease negotiation on the part of your firm, the lessee.

Those factors include you years in business, financings you have in place with other lenders, any references you can provide, as well as on occasion the general credit and financial stability of the owners of your firm. Larger transactions require some due diligence on your financial statements, as well as analysis around historical and projected cash flow – i.e. your ability to repay the equipment lease!

We strongly recommend that clients solicit the help of a trusted, credible and experience equipment leasing advisor who can guide them through the basics of successful lease negotiation, with an emphasis on financial and other benefits that accrue to your firm when you complete a equipment lease financing transaction .

5 Tips For Selecting The Right Leasing Company For Your Equipment Finance Needs









Equipment Financing Lease Solutions In Canada - The Not So Radical Way To Finance Asset Needs






Information on equipment finance solutions in Canada . Working with the right leasing company solutions is the best method to address capital equipment needs



Partnering is more often than not the right thing. Bad partnerships don't work and can adversely of course affect your business. That’s why it is so important to select the right firm to originate your equipment finance needs.

The right leasing company on a long term basis will ensure that you are investing properly in the assets you need to run your business for your customer base.

Let’s look at 5 key tips we can provide you to ensure you are putting the right financial strategy in place around asset acquisition. Successfully working and negotiating through these tips with the right leasing partner guarantees you business equipment lease financing success.

Its all about getting approved of course , and getting an approval quite frankly is the biggest decision your lessor has to make around the transaction - that approval can be significantly influenced by yourself - it is important to present both the positives around your firms financials, as well as the challenge you may have, or may be facing,

Chance of getting approved is significantly reduced if negative information about your firm or its financials arises after your submission. Factors that affect your approval are your time in business, your ability to have sourced financing in the past - i.e. other lessors, banks, etc. Other key areas of focus are trade references and the ability of the owners to demonstrate they run their personal lives in a fiscally responsible manner also. This is usually accomplished by the lessor drawing a credit bureau report. On transactions over 50,000.00$, as a general rule financial statements are required, and areas of focus will be your overall balance sheet health and the ability to generate positive cash flow to repay the lease .

Lets move on to rate, we are never under surprised with how much our clients focus solely on rate and their ability to drive down the lessors yield . In Canada leasing equipment is very competitive, and all we can say is that if you have presented your financials properly the market will ensure you have a competitive rate. Naturally you can spend all the time in the world securing a ' better deal ', but consider management time and total savings. A quick example: If you leased a 75k piece of production equipment and were quoted a rate of 10.25% and you spent a lot of time in sourcing another quote, re submitting your financials to a new firm, etc , and got a rate of 10.00% you would be saving twenty dollars a month. We'll let you decide the value of your time.

We have covered off credit approval and rates, Documentation are important also. You should be prepared to provide a proper invoice or quote to the lessor, as well as a certificate of insurance. The equipment lease and your acceptance of delivery are key to the lease commencement. Smaller transaction in Canada has been greatly simplified, so you should typically be provided with a one or two page lease agreement. Larger transactions are of course more complex.

The type of lease you choose and your analysis of the lease versus buy decision is also a key area of focus. Look at your cash flow Vis Vis payments you will make on a lease versus a loan basis. As a general rule leasing tends to be more expensive, but is easier to obtain and is less of a drain on your cash flow.

Two is the magic number. There are two types of leases you should inquire about, a full payout capital lease, as well as an operating lease where use of the asset is more important than owning the asset.

Your overall lease financing decision should be focused on a very simple question - namely:
- is the asset acquisition important to your business profitability and productivity. If new assets and proper financing position your business for competitiveness you have made the right financing decision.

We have covered off 5 key areas in the selection of a leasing company in the equipment finance area. If you find the information and the challenge overwhelming speak to a trusted, credible and experienced business financing advisor who will help you achieve lease financing that meets your goals.

Equipment Leasing in Canada




Solutions for Commercial Equipment Acquisition


Information on Canadian equipment leasing and financing options. The ability to finance commercial equipment / asset needs is critical to growing your business


Canadian business owners and financial managers quickly realize the benefits of lease financing when it comes to paying for equipment acquisitions. Whether your firm is a start up or an established company many of the benefits of lease financing will apply to your firm. One of those key benefits is simply the fact that you realize that somewhere in the near future you will have to replace that asset, and that is not the time when you wish to have a burdensome asset on your books that you must fully replace with valuable cash and working capital.

In Canada any asset class can be financed, including in some cases even soft costs or non tangible assets. Computer software might be a good example.

Cash flow is what most business owners are most cognizant of, and you quickly realize that paying for the use of an asset over its expected useful life makes much more sense that writing a large cheque for an asset that effectively depreciates the minute you purchase it. As consumers we can relate to that statement when purchasing a vehicle for our selves or our family!

Business owners have the luxury, when lease financing, of strutting a financial vehicle around the ultimate use of the asset – By that we mean you can have a significant say in the rate, term, and type of lease you enter into.

Clients always ask us about the rate in lease financing, as in some cases they have heard that leasing is a more expensive option to a bank loan or outright cash purchase. Textbooks have been written on that whole subject – but let’s try and summarize that whole textbook into a few common sense statements! They are as follows –

Using up bank credit lines for an equipment asset strategy can be a bad decision based on your overall ability to borrow in the future and the covenants the bank lender might place on your company.
Writing a cheque for payment in full of a depreciating asset, and depleting your cash on hand is never a recommended strategy for our clients
If you could match the benefits and the useful economic life of the asset to monthly cash outlays why wouldn’t you take advantage of that option
Many business owners prefer to have multiple sources of business financing – they don’t want all their ‘eggs in one basked ‘so to speak – Wouldn’t your firm want to do that?



Canadian business owners can choose from two types of leases –

Lease to own

Lease to use (commonly called an operating lease)

We recommend that clients view all asset acquisitions as a potential form different financing strategies. Work with a trusted, respected and credible advisor to ensure you understand that the rates, terms and structures reflect your overall credit quality and the type of lease that makes most sense for you Canadian asset acquisition . That’s a solid business financing strategy.

Equipment Financing For Business Capital Asset Needs










What Would Happen To Your Company If You Had All The Assets & Equipment Financing You Needed?





Information on equipment financing in Canada. Having access to capital for equipment loans and leases is critical to long term business success






Canadian business owners and financial managers, difficult times notwithstanding, continue to look for financing for Equipment, and have a strong desire to understand their Canadian equipment capital options.

While trying to achieve the best pricing in their negotiations with vendors business owners at the same time want to know they can preserve their capital, cash flow, and operating capital - lease financing does exactly that.

This type of business financing in Canada is an alternative to a cash purchase or a loan from a Canadian chartered bank. Clearly a win / win scenario is achieved when a business owner can acquire the information he needs, while at the same time achieving a solid financing structure around that acquisition.

Business owners can count on a number of sure fire benefits associated with the lease financing of equipment – those benefits may differ for each firm relative to their importance. However, more often than not they include the following:


Canadian firms want to use assets to generate profits and sales – they don’t want to invest hard earned cash into depreciating assets

If there are tax advantages to an equipment finance transaction they want to utilize or benefit from them

If payments can be structured to suit the overall cash flow needs and working capital of the firm that is a beneficial option

Budgets can often complicate equipment acquisition – business owners in Canada want to know them can circumvent a budget timelines or financing amount with an effective acquisition strategy

Applying for a term or bank loan can takes weeks and months, lease equipment financing can often be approved in a matter of days based on the overall credit quality of your firm and the asset type

Lease equipment financing is complimentary to your current secured lenders or bank operating facilities – they round out your ability to get additional assets and capital


The one thing you don’t want your acquisition needs to do is to restrict your overall cash flow and working capital position. That’s why we recommend you sit down with a trusted, credible, and experience advisor in lease equipment financing in order to assess your overall asset acquisition capabilities, as well as the benefits you can derive from utilizing this financing tool.


The reality is that every type of asset in Canada can be financed, so being for armed with that knowledge can greatly enhance your overall competitive financial position.

Clients often ask us at which point in the business cycle is they eligible for lease equipment financing. Some first are start ups, some are early stage, and in many cases they are mature companies with a growth and track record. The reality is that lease financing applies to all these types of firms.

Quite frankly the true challenge in leasing simply knows what cash flow benefits you can derive from the acquisition. It is important to structure a transaction that matches the appropriate rate, term and overall lease type that you are looking for. There are actually two major lease types, lease to own, called capital leases, and lease for use, more commonly called operating leases.

Investigate financing for equipment options. Work with a credible advisor. Decide which benefits works most for your firm, and structure a transaction that makes sense and maximizes your ability to grow revenues and profits.

Equipment Leasing & Lease Finance In Canada : Financing Your Assets For Growth













Equipment Leasing Works : We Told You So!

Information on the Canadian equipment leasing and financing industry .How to utilize the services of experts in this area to save thousands of dollars






Equipment Leasing and Canadian Lease Financing generates profits for Canadian business via use of assets that your firm requires to run its business and stay competitive.

Lease rates in Canada have finally normalized somewhat after the global economic tensions of late 2008 and 2009. Liquidity has come back into the markets and even the government in Canada has stepped in to assist the actual companies that were doing the financing.

We never fully disagree with a client when a firm tells us that the overall interest rate is the most important thing they consider in a lease vs. purchase decision. However, at the same time there are a number of other, we would actually call them ‘critical ‘factors in evaluating and getting approved for lease financing.

Customers often weight the lease decision against two other key issues, their ability to purchase the equipment outright and secondly consideration of a financing alternative such as a bank loan. Naturally all three strategies – leasing, purchasing outright, and financing via a bank loan still get you the equipment.

Lease firms in Canada tout the benefits of leasing and line them up directly against your other two alternatives. Bank financing has always been difficult to get for any small to medium business (in the last year or two large business had challenges also!) and when you choose to finance your equipment through a bank loan a number of key factors come into play. They include usually a down payment, plus the fact that your new equipment loan gets bundled into your overall banking relationship, loan and ratio covenants, plus your overall credit facility limit.

If you are comfortable with that naturally the bank rates are very attractive. In general for a decent quality credit in Canada you can expect to pay two to three per cent more for a financial lease from an independent finance firm. However that additional premium may be well worth it when you consider some of the factors we noted above.


In Canada credit quality drives a large part of the final rate. The good news here is that companies with decent to good to very good credit will always achieve some of the best rates. But more importantly we point out that if your firm has challenges, little or no funds for a down payment, or a higher dollar acquisition you can still get lease financing consideration.


The Canadian leasing market is very fragmented so we strongly recommend to clients that you utilize the services of a trusted, credible and most importantly , ‘ experienced ‘ lease and business financing advisor who can help you navigate the maze of Canadian lease firms . Their relationship with the best financiers in your industry can save you many thousands of dollars.


Let’s prove our point with a quick example. Your firm doesn’t have the contacts or necessary technical knowledge to navigate the Canadian lease environment. You note the industry has a trade association called the CANADIAN FINANCE AND LEASING ASSOCIATION. That website shows hundreds of small and larger firms. You could of course contact each firm, explain your needs, provide them your financial information and then spend hours, days, etc on negotiations and knowledge assimilation relative to your particular needs for equipment acquisition.

However, utilizing a lease finance expert will give you instant access to probably one or two of the best lessors suited to your asset, your industry, and your firms overall credit quality.

If your advisor delivers only a little on overall rate, terms and structure you will save thousands of dollars, plus gain invaluable advice along the way on which lease option to choose ( there are two, capital and operating ) .
