Getting The Most Out Of Canadian Lease Pricing and Best Lease Rates? Here’s How Capital Equipment Finance Works
How can we get the most out of lease pricing,
including by the way getting best lease rates in Canada what we access capital
equipment finance via an equipment finance strategy? That’s a typical client
question and we'll explore some answers, tips, and strategies in that area.
If there is a threat or disadvantage to
equipment financing in Canada
it’s a pretty simply one - being unaware of what areas can impact the
advantages of a lease, for example a simple ' end of term ' option.
We wouldn’t want to count the probably
thousands of firms in Canada,
both small and large that fail to both understand, and then invoke their
financing option when the lease ends. Ironically the more sophisticated and
larger corporations in Canada
even do worse on this one simply because they are too big and their systems '
forget ' whats going on within the tens or hundreds of equipment leases they manage.
So how can an end of term option be costly ?You
quite frankly wouldn’t believe it, but the reality is that many leases are structured , and documented,
by the way to make your firm keep paying if the notice or obligation you signed
up for isn’t handled properly .
So by not returning, buying, or formally
extending a transaction you are now in the position of pretty well ‘paying forever’.
And that’s not a good thing. Imagine leasing, for example, a 25k large document
copier or some other business asset, paying for it in full of 5 years, with interest
of course, and then paying for it again. Wow! Oh, and by the way, that asset
has depreciated and has been replaced by newer technology. Now how do you feel?
In Canada the Canadian capital
equipment finance industry, the '
lessors ' are in a position to offer you a variety of pricing options. It is
that variety of options that can really confuse Canadian business owners and
financial mangers.
You can simply lease pricing in Canada , and
achieve best rates at the same time by doing some basic homework around the two
types of leases , capital ( aka lease to
own ) and operating ( aka lease to use ).
If you
are looking to finance assets that
depreciate quickly or must constantly be upgraded to keep you company ahead of
the curve then an operating lease strategy really works - Computers and
computer systems are a classic example
of a solid use of an operating lease . The benefits include lower
monthly payments, return and upgrade flexibility, and your ability to simply
replace the system or technology at the end of term. That’s when best lease
rates are truly achievable when compared with lease to own type strategies.
Simple lease finance strategies can also
lower that monthly payment - they might include a bargain purchase options at
the end of the lease, which simply lowers your monthly payment and allows you
potentially to refinance that end of term amount later on.
In Canada your interest rate on lease
financing is determine by your firms credit quality, as well as the type of
asset you lease, and who you are dealing with. The industry is very segmented
and fragmented, so the right lessor as a partner can save you thousands of
dollars over the term of a financing relationship.
To achieve best lease pricing, as well as
terms, speak to a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing
advisor who can help you maximize the benefits of this powerful capital
equipment finance strategy used by thousands of business owners everyday.
