Financing vs leasing
Buy it or lease it
Financing can help you purchase equipment. Leasing lets you use it under the terms of a lease.
Compare payments, total costs, ownership, and any purchase or return options before you choose.
Your agreement will explain when payments begin and what happens at the end of the term. Review those details before signing.
Why finance or lease
- Spread the cost over time
- Keep cash for payroll and supplies
- Include delivery, setup, and training where needed
Keep in mind
- An upfront payment or deposit may be required
- Maintenance and service costs are separate from your payment
- Options depend on your business and the purchase
