Equipment Financing Specialist – Canadian Leasing Solutions

Equipment Financing in Canada is a specialized type of financing. Lease financing on its own goes back hundreds of years and is a widely accepted financing tool. Major companies in Canada utilize lease financing, why shouldn't your firm.

Lease financing covers all sorts of equipment - that includes production equipment, transportation equipment, machine tools, computers, etc. In general most Canadian banks do not offer lease financing, although two of the Chartered banks have dedicated lease operations but require a very high quality credit quality.

You should consider leasing because it's a simple to arrange financing agreement between yourself, your vender of the equipment, and the lessor. Leasing should not be considered complicated, however Canadian leasing practices and the parties that participate are much different than in the U.S. . . . It benefits Canadian business owners and financial managers to ensure they understand why leasing is so popular.

Two basic types of leases are available for the Canadian business owner - they are capital and operating leases. Operating leases are often promoted by manufacturers or vendors and they often include maintenance and insurance. You should consult with an Equipment financing specialist to ensure an operating lease is right for your firm. The essence of an operating lease is that your intent is to use the equipment, but not to own it. When you enter into an operating lease ensure that you have no intention of owning the equipment at the end of term. In this case your payments will be much lower than if your intention is ownership, and you will have the benefit of some balance sheet improvement, as this lease is not shown as debt on your balance sheet. The alternative lease is a capital, or financial lease, which denotes ownership.

We can't over emphasize the need to work with a trusted, experienced and credible advisor in this specialized area of financing in Canada. Seek out a professional that will assist you in acquiring the equipment you need and answer any questions you have about the proper rate, term and structure that your firm deserves based on overall credit and asset quality. Equipment can be new or used, and a good lease financing specialize will be pleased to assist you in maximizing the benefits of lease financing, which include:

• - Better use of working capital
• - Often cheaper than a term loan
• - Wont restrict your current banking arrangements
• - Payment flexibility
• - Fixed rate financing in today's low interest rate environment.

Specialists in any industry are a benefit. Consult a lease financing specialist for your asset acquisition needs.

Re: Website Name Help - Its good that you have come up with the idea of setting up a website for your business. Now As it is into Business Solutions, I would recommend that you also include this into the name of the website. This will help you getting better results as far as SEO is concerned. You can start building a brand with this name. As you have already got the name booked, you can try changing it to something on the lines of Business Solutions as in azimabusiness or azimabusinesssolutions. Its a long name but still is good from the SEO point.
Help me name my moms business - I think Infinity Cleaning Services sounds better than Elite Cleaning Solutions... Why the Solutions? What is there to be solved? You simply get a rag with some Windex on it and wipe away.... plug the vacuum and Vac Away, get a mop and mop away. Stick to Infinity Cleaning Services... ICS sounds cool...
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? One Canadian dollar is suddenly worth only about $0.84 US now. It doesn't make sense to me.[/quote:3lnvm7h2] The Canadian dollar has dropped to about $0.80 USD... what kind of holiday shopping season will it be this year if this trend continues?
