Small Business Equipment Leasing



Jeff Staub, Knowledge Level: All Levels, Keywords: small business equipment leasing, business leasing

 One of the many difficult questions small business owners must answer pertains to small business equipment leasing versus outright ownership.  Leasing equipment for small businesses is often a cost effective way to increase business flexibility without increasing overhead or incurring depreciation penalties on material goods.  Small business equipment leasing can help dissolve upfront costs associated with purchasing, deposits, and transportation costs.


Small business equipment leasing means you don’t have to replace outdated equipment at an additional investment against your company’s profits as the leasing provider takes on that burden in your place.  What’s more is that small business equipment leasing provider most likely will offer you the latest and greatest solution at a rate similar to what you are already paying. 


In my experience even as a young entrepreneur mowing lawns as a kid to my now 15 employee restaurant; small business leasing has always saved me money in the long run.  Upfront the costs look significant if you don’t take into account the long term effects of depreciation and wear and tear; if something breaks it gets replaced and you don’t have to repair it time and time again.  At least that is the way it worked for my lawn-mowers as a kid and my oven units today.


Things to have in order when attempting small business equipment leasing are some basic financials which show you credit history and effectively demonstrate you are not a leasing risk.  It is fairly similar to a credit card application, thus very fairly painless.  Having gone through this process many, many times I recommend small business equipment leasing as a smart business move and something any small business owner should consider.
