This Just In – It’s A Shocker ! Computers and Many Business Assets Don’t Hold Their Value !
OVERVIEW – Information on asset finance in Canada. Computer Financing Via An Equipment Lease or other Leasing Strategy Makes Your Capital Work More Efficiently!
Asset Finance challenges for Canadian business owners/financial mgrs brings a whole new meaning to the term ' friends with benefits'. Your company and others are searching for solid help when it comes to help where it's needed most - acquiring expensive assets and technologies such as computers and software for your business. Let's dig in.
We maintain to clients that you need to understand your choices when making lease finance work for you; it shouldn't be a ' forced ' solution.
The whole area of lease finance gives you a positive outlook that you at least have a chance of beating the high price of technology, the fear of obsolescence , and that constant looking over your shoulder ( via the internet ?) at what your competitors are doing .
Taking on debt via long term loans is clearly not the optimal solution for most businesses looking for SME COMMERCIAL FINANCE solutions... Fundamentally, whether they admit it or not, most Canadian business owners and financial managers want to acquire the best asset without burning through those valuable credit lines and other accesses to capital. In some cases they don't even have the credit lines to draw down on.
The good news for Canadian business is that the whole spectrum of technology is in fact financeable, and, as we've noted that includes software, which is a surprise to some. Software is typically financed as a full lease to own scenario, so the key benefit quite often is simply the fact that you are matching the benefits of the software with the cash outflows of a lease finance scenario.
We're making the assumption here that the business owner, CIO, or financial manager has done what most refer to as a ' lease vs. buy' scenario. Here the business person takes into account the life of the asset, all the software licenses and support they will need for the asset, as well as the final outcome re: disposition of the asset. THIS JUST IN - IT'S A SHOCKER! - Computers don't last and hold their value! Many experts and industry analysts actually estimate that you'll have another 25,000.00 of costs associated with the acquisition of, for example, of $ 100,000.00 of new technology.
With all the competition in lease financing today approvals come faster and both small and larger transactions can be efficiently financed. That makes conserving cash easier and has made financing assets the ' go to' solution for asset/tech finance needs. Don't forget also that you have a choice of leasing assets to own, or ' renting ' them via an operating lease strategy.
Lease terms on assets financed can range anywhere from 2-7 yrs. It's critical to know your anticipated use and final value of assets you are financing - that’s when the ' sizzle ' of lease finance appeal makes most sense re convenience, speed, cash flow conservation, etc
