Reasons and Advantages For Using Equipment Leasing For Your Business Finance Needs in Canada

How could thousands of companies be that wrong ? We are pretty sure the weight of evidence suggests equipment leasing for your firms business finance needs is a solid financial solution.

Let's examine a couple of key basics around equipment financing and why asset acquisition under this method of financing is a solid cash flow management solution.

So, why do firms lease, including of course your competitors. Yes, arguably it’s for tax reasons, as well as the whole issue of obsolescence, but we find it always comes back to cash flow management, not using your valuable day to day working capital, as well as the difficulties perceived by many businesses in arranging loan or bank financing. All in all, some pretty powerful reasons we think!

Many industry finance trade associations provide data that sooner or later almost 80% of all companies in Canada use equipment leasing in some manner for their business finance needs. And there’s no discrimination, from the largest firms in Canada to small start ups, all types of companies use this financing. In the case of small businesses it’s more often than not because of limited capital, and in the largest of corporation’s issues such as depreciation, off balance sheet needs, and budget cycles all play key roles in equipment financing.



We use the term equipment financing, because it’s an all encompassing term, but in reality every type of asset can be financing, and that includes technology, software, plant equipment, office equipment, we think you get the idea - anything can be leased based on the overall credit quality of your firm. That also brings up the point that most business finance people quickly understand that equipment leasing approvals are probably easier to arrange than any other type of financing.

Businesses love ' options' for their equipment financing needs - business owners and financial managers want to know they have flexibility. That’s where lease options such as full payout lease to own leases, or operating leases offer maximum flexibility, based on your business needs. Using financial leases for long term capital equipment needs is a daily strategy for Canadian business financing.

The costs to lease are varied. The factors that play a role in the ultimate interest rate and payment factor depend on key issues such as your firm’s credit quality, potential outside collateral if that’s required, willingness of the owners to provide a guarantee, as well as the lessors opinion of your historical and projected cash flow. Quite frankly the main question lessors always ask themselves is simply - ' Will this asset product profit for the lessee".



In summary, the key advantages of equipment leasing are its ultimate ' convenience ', the flexibility around the types of leasing you require ( lease to own or just rental , use and return ) , tax and accounting advantages, and , oh yes , ease of getting approved!

If you want to maximize those equipment leasing advantages then seek a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who can guide you through key issues such as what benefits work best for your firm, what type of lease company best suits your asset acquisition needs, as well as the ability to save time in today’s faster paced business environment.

BDC - [quote="IWDCanada":jib6tqt9]I think if you try to do business in the Maritimes the Business Development Bank of Canada might be able to provide grants.[/quote:jib6tqt9] On that note, does anybody have any experiences with the Business Development Bank of Canada that they would like to share? I have been considering approaching them for a business loan.
Clothing Niche - Yasunori, can you dig deeper into the clothing niche? e.g. Business Casual for people 6ft and taller (men only, women only or both). Victoria Secret is big in Canada because they don't have retail Stores here and the only way to get their product in Canada is thru online purchases. They have a great Hassle-free return policy too.

I'll just add that if I was going into business for myself and could only have one skill it would be Sales & Marketing. You need to be able to create customers first and foremost. Finance is more of a support function for entrepreneurs.
canada resources - I used to have a connection to a franchise consultant in Canada at "Franchise Officer" in Toronto. I wish I could remember his name ( but I can check my files at the office tomorrow). Anyway, he had a lot of connections to banks in Canada. He may know of them and may be able to offer some feedback. If you are looking for a business loan, Canada has similar business loan programs to that of the USA's Small Business Administration (SBA). I think its SLBS in Cananda, and I probably have the list of it's lenders in my office also. Do you think either can be helpful? If so, I can get back to you with this information tomorrow. Let me know!
