Leasing




BENEFITS OF LEASING

The following is an outline of some of the universally accepted financial and accounting benefits of leasing:

PROVIDES OFF BALANCE SHEET FINANCING
The leasing obligations of a business may not have to be shown on your balance sheet because they are expensed on a monthly basis. By not having to show these obligations on your balance sheet, ratios by which financial institutions evaluate companies for the extension of creadit are enhanced.
 
Makes your financial statements look better to a banker!
 
FREES WORKING CAPITAL
Leasing conserves working capital by eliminating the down payment for items that are purchased and financed. Cash is not taken from the business to purchase them outright. Leasing provides 100% of the funds to aquire the use of an asset. Your capital is free for productive use.
 
Keeps more cash in the company!
 
PRESERVES CREDIT LINES
The standard ratios that financial institutions evaluate companies for extension of credit are enhanced, making the preservation and acquisition of credit easier.
 
You can borrow more money to make your business grow!
 
IMPROVES CASH FLOW
Lease payments are normally less than finance payments plus no down payment or security deposits are needed.
 
You get lower monthly payments!
 
CONVERTS FIXED ASSETS INTO CASH
Leasing affords a company the opportunity to convert fixed assets into cash. When a company changes from ownership to leasing, the owned assets are sold for cash that goes back into the business.
 
We buy your assets and you keep your cash!

TYPES OF LEASES
Open End or Termination Rental Adjustment Clause (TRAC) Lease
The Lessee agrees to a fixed number of payments and guarantees the termination (residual) value at lease end. If the vehicle sells and nets more than the residual value, the overage is refunded as excess rentals to the lessee.  If the vehicle sells and nets less than the residual value, the shortage is paid by the lessee. This rarely happens because the vehicle can be driven for a few extra months while the termination value reduces.  Once the termination value and market value are the same, the vehicle is sold.
 
Open end or TRAC leases with annual declining payments are available.  The payments for this type of lease reduce for each twelve month period that the vehicle is leased.  Open end or TRAC leases can be operating leases, meaning that they are tax deductible and are not shown as a liability on your financial statement. These leases are available with Silver or Gold Maintenance Plans.  Click here for maintenance management.
 
Closed End or Net Lease
The lessee agrees to a fixed number of monthly payments and a defined use of the vehicle.  The lessee does not guarantee the residual or termination value at lease end.  They are always operating leases.  Closed End or Net Leases are available with either the Silver or Platinum Maintenance Plans.
 
Finance Lease
The lessee uses the vehicle for the desired term (12 to 84 months) and owns the vehicle at lease end.  This is a capital lease.  Finance leases are available with Silver or Gold Maintenance Plans.
