Want A Fling ? Canadian Commercial Finance & Leasing Solutions – Meet Up With Equipment Finance Today
Heaven forbid that we
would ever condone a fling... but we are strong suggesting that you ' hook up ' with commercial financing and
leasing for your ' needs ‘! And what are those needs?
Equipment finance and
asset finance. Two things any growing and competitive Canadian business should
possess on their ' must have ' list.
Let's examine why
business has been utilizing lease finance even in historic times. Interesting
fact but a Babylonian king called Hammurabi actually described a lease
transaction in his kingdoms code of laws. We can actually credit him with
saying that it’s using something that creates wealth and profit, not just
owning it.
Canadian equipment
finance firms adopt that expression to this very day.
Business owners and
financial managers in Canada
thing of commercial finance & leasing as simply a way to acquire and pay
for assets they might consider as ' expensive '.
But the good news just
starts there because there are numerous other advantages to equipment finance. Let's
do a quick recap of those.
The bottom line is that
equipment finance is a strong alternative to ownership or paying full outright cash.
You benefit from the asset, and profits (hopefully?) are derived from our
aforementioned ' use ' of those assets.
Business in Canada
(in fact everywhere) has never moved so quickly, what took years now takes
hours sometimes. That’s because of technology of course and when you utilize
lease financing you create a hedge against technological obsolescence. The most
obvious example of that is computers and telecom assets
In some cases it couldn’t
be simpler - you need valuable and expensive assets to grow your business and
stay competitive - but you would not be able to acquire that asset without the
ability to pay for it on a monthly basis.
Still contemplating that
' fling ' with commercial finance & leasing? Remember that equipment
finance boils down to two key product offerings - capital leases and operating leases.
Want a simple explanation
and example of those two, utilizing some real world pricing. Let's use our
friend computers/technology as an example.
Let’s say your firm needs
100k of computers and servers. Again, your choice is cash, or finance. We're
suggesting that fling with finance of course!
If you opt for a capital
lease over, say a 3 year term your monthly payment might be around 3100$. At
the end of the lease 36 month term you own the equipment. We strong recommend
Canadian business owners amortize the lease over their estimated economic value
of the asset.
But you other choice is a
bit more intriguing. You can opt for an operating lease. What's my payment now
we can hear our clients say? It would
probably be in the 2400$ a month range. And guess what? At the end of 36 mos
you have 3 choices - yes three. You can return the asset, purchase it for its
current value or upgrade and extend the transaction. Talk about flexibility!
How long do you think it
would take you to get up to speed on your new ‘fling ‘with Canadian equipment finance?
Truth be told there are hundreds of firms, in the categories of captive
lessors, independent finance firms, divisions of banks, etc.
We prefer easy as opposed
to hard .So consider instead talking to a trusted , credible and experienced
Canadian business financing advisor who
knows the players, the markets, and the right
features and structure that make
sense for your firm . Bottom line; utilize a business financing veterans experience
to your own benefit.
P.S. 80% or more of all Canadian firms utilize commercial
financing and leasing. So consider that fling today.
