The Many Benefits of Equipment Financing
Preserve Cashflow
Equipment financing is your ticket to spreading costs into easy-to-handle payments over time. It saves you from dipping into your precious working capital just to buy equipment outright. Instead, financing lets you keep those funds for other important investments, while still obtaining the crucial new tools you need.
What's more, your payments can be designed to fit your revenue cycles, smoothing out your cash flow. With costs spread over time, financing gives you budget-friendly access to essential equipment.
Keep Up To Date With Technology and Equipment
Financing isn't just about buying equipment—it's about staying ahead of the curve. It enables you to purchase innovative tools and advanced systems that might otherwise be too pricey to purchase outright. Keeping up with the latest equipment keeps your company in the lead, boosting efficiency and expanding your capabilities.
Ownership and Tax Benefits
Financing doesn't mean you're renting—you're on your way to owning new equipment, but paying over time. Plus, some financing agreements come with tax deductions and possible credits, reducing your overall financing costs. So you're not just getting new equipment, you're also potentially saving money in the process.
Types of Equipment Financing
There are two forms of equipment financing: Obtaining a loan or leasing. Both provide a variety of periods and degrees of commitment based on the equipment companies require.
Applying for a Loan
When firms use a loan to acquire equipment, the equipment functions as collateral for the loan. Therefore, the lender has a claim on the equipment and may seize it if the borrower defaults on loan payments.
A lender may be willing to lend up to the full value of the equipment if the loan is secured by considerable collateral. Nonetheless, a down payment of 20% of the equipment’s value is usually required. Thus, consideration should be given to a company’s ability to repay the loan. If they are uncertain about their ability to make the payments, it may be preferable to lease the equipment.
The lengths of loans for company equipment range from a few months to ten years. The interest rates vary on the firm’s (or owner’s) credit rating, the length of time the business has been in operation, the loan’s term, and the equipment’s capacity to preserve its worth.
The business will possess a valuable item once the loan has been repaid, which is one of the primary advantages of equipment purchase over leasing. If the company needs to borrow money for other objectives, such as business expansion, it can utilize the previously acquired equipment as loan collateral to secure more favorable loan conditions on subsequent financing.
Leasing
Leasing equipment might be advantageous for several reasons. First, it may be easier to obtain than a loan because the terms are less financially demanding. Accordingly, leasing is frequently a less expensive choice, particularly for short-term financing, because it typically does not demand a down payment and does not involve paying a significant amount of interest.
The type of equipment to be acquired is a further factor that may influence a company’s or owner’s decision to lease. Leasing is a far more advantageous choice for firms seeking to finance equipment that is quickly becoming obsolete and must be replenished. This allows them to lease newer, more advanced equipment over time. However, they should carefully analyze the lease agreement’s provisions, particularly if there is a financial penalty for early termination.
Some leases contain an option to purchase after the lease term. In this scenario, the most obvious decision for a business owner is whether they want to acquire the leased equipment after the lease’s conclusion. As such, the primary benefit of leasing is not having to worry about equipment obsolescence and depreciation.
