Canadian Leasing – Lease Equipment Financing for Canadian Business

Canadian equipment Financing has never been more critical to get in the current business environment. When speaking to Canadian business owners and financial managers they tell us that they want the ability to achieve asset acquisition for plant equipment, computers, and other fixed assets in an easy and reliable fashion. They also tell us they don't want this type of financing to interfere with other financing they either have in place or are contemplating.

Canadian lease financing can deliver on all those customer needs. Naturally transactions come in all sizes, from 5k to Fifty Million dollars. If your transaction is smaller, generally fewer than 50k Canadian business owners are often pleased to find the simplicity of the financing. Why is that? It is simply because those computers we referenced above in our article also worked their way into the lease financing industry! Technology has made it very easy to process and application, verifies customer information, issue simplified documentation, and ensure all other miscellaneous processes are completed in a timely fashion. Canadian vendors are happy to see that when their customer finances a transaction they are paid promptly, thereby increasing their own revenues, cash flow, etc.

It clearly is a win win strategy for all parties, you as the customer, the lease firm, and your vendor or manufacturer.

Management time is everything in business today, and clients are pleased to hear that all those miscellaneous things they didn't wan to worry about, (but are important nonetheless) are often taken care of in the lease transaction. That includes payment of the taxes, which is now spread out on a monthly basis, as well as often the installation, maintenance contract, etc.

On most occasions a first, or first and last deposit are required on your lease, but lets be honest and realize that is a very nominal cash outlay as opposed to laying out tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for equipment purchases .

We spoke of your cash outlay -naturally this emphasizes another key feature of Canadian lease equipment financing, which is simply that your payments are very easily matched against your benefits of the asset acquisition - If your firm needs new IT ( information technology ) such as computers, telecom, etc , you clearly have now realized that the leading edge of technology and computer power seems to change every day .Therefore matching your equipment lease term and payments to your expected useful life of new personal computers or servers is a great financing strategy .

Do you have alternatives to acquire the equipment - of course you do. Leasing is never viewed as the panacea of Holy Grail of equipment and asset acquisition. But if you benchmark and compare the benefits of leasing against paying cash, or negotiating larger of new banking and term loan facilities some of the key benefits of leasing will become very attractive to the Canadian business owner very quickly.

So if your company requires lease and asset financing look beyond the way in which you may have acquired assets in the past and consider lease financing as a great alternative and complimentary strategy to your business and profit growth.

Speak to a trusted, experienced and credible advisor or firm who will ensure you understand your various lease financing options.

Canadian Entrepreneurs...let's chat.... - I thought it would be nice to gather up all the Canadian entrepreneurs on one topic to discuss how everyone is getting along. I just realized Evan is Canadian as well! Hope he's able to join the conversation. Look forward to the chat. By the way, I'm in BC. Phil
re: restaurant start-up - I'm not sure about government grants for restaurants, but my recommendation would be to approach a lender that offers loans under the Canadian Small Business Financing Loan program where the government will guarantee 85% of the loan. You can borrow up to $250,000 to finance equipment and renovations under this program. Restaurants are very risky business, however some of the Chartered Banks will look at restaurants if there is enough of an initial equity investment and you have a solid business plan (experienced management team, good concept and strategic location).
Re: Meltdown in the Financial Markets - [quote="Kevin":3lnvm7h2]If the US is simply creating fake/"funny" money with their bailout, then I wonder why the Canadian dollar has dropped so badly?
