Greetings Chun-Ping,
I hope Im not too late to provide research for you. I looked up
equipment leasing, and even if my answers arent so wonderful, I hope
they serve your purpose.
I just summarized the advantages below after collecting them from the
sites. I hope you are able to look up the sites for an explanation on
each:
- Leasing conserves your working capital.
- Preserves your credit lines
- Provides 100% financing
- Provides flexibility
- Provides a variety of tax benefits
- Low acquisition costs
- Eliminates equipment obsolescence
- Quick and easy to apply for
If you are the vendor, here are the advantages for you:
- Overcoming price objections to help close the sale
- Allowing the client to afford bigger and better equipment
- Being able to secure the sale and get the equipment to the customer
quickly
- Enabling the retailer to make rapid credit decisions
