Equipment Leasing Overview

Equipment is a fundamental part of any business, whether small or large. It is with equipment that businesses render the services that they do. The quality and quantity of equipment a company uses, together with how the company deploys such equipment makes the difference between success and failure in a highly competitive economy.

When it comes to the hardware of a business, companies often prefer to go the extra mile to purchase equipment that will give them an edge in whatever industry they operate. While this quest for better machinery is laudable the methods in which it is obtained are not.

Purchasing equipment off manufacturers’ shelves is a decision most companies choose to take and they do so quite wrongly. In a business, the value of an asset is in its use and the value of that same asset depreciates with its use as well. Equipment is an asset, which satisfies this truth only too well, you buy some expensive piece of machinery, which looks good on your balance sheet, and in the next 4 years its value depreciates to nothing.

Equipment Leasing is the correct option as opposed to buying when your company needs equipment. Equipment is a tool that must be used to its maximum capacity to provide the service your business offers. In this light company should aim to save themselves the wanton waste of money that goes with purchasing equipment and should explore the benefits that come with leasing equipment instead.

Leasing equipment is not an aim at cutting corners or reducing the needed service quality delivered by a business. Equipment leasing is a proactive means of increasing your company’s cash flow that would otherwise be tied down if you considered the purchasing option. This cash flow could impact on other areas of your company’s business and improve your company’s balance sheet in the profit columns. Cash should not be tied down in a quickly depreciating asset such as bought equipment.

Benefits of Leasing

If you’re considering leasing equipment for your company rather than buying, you’re not alone. Statistics have it that over 80 percent of U.S based businesses lease their company equipment as opposed to buying, so you can remain rest assured that it’s a wise decision. To support this fact we offer you some of the financial benefits of commercial equipment leasing.

Financial Benefits of Leasing

These financial benefits of leasing cover how leasing helps your business improve its financing either by saving money or making more money for your company. The list is hardly exhaustive but the points examined here are the strongest and reflect the areas of finance that are most important to a business.

Increased Working Capital – With equipment leasing you save yourself the cost of buying the equipment outright. The money you save from purchasing the equipment can be deployed into other areas of the business. Obtaining a business equipment lease also preserves the line of credit you have from your bank as the financing you use to obtain the leased equipment is much lesser outright purchase. By saving this money you can improve your business edge with the right equipment, turn a better profit and not only retain your existing credit line with your bank but improve it as well.

Improved Balance Sheet – In business the balance sheet is an all too important area of determining performance, not only to your shareholders but also to people who provide major financing such as banks and prospective investors. This improvement comes in various areas: first of all business equipment leases are not recorded as liabilities and thus do not have a bearing on your capital figures. The second area covers the fact that a fixed equipment lease eliminates the need for depreciation, if you had purchased the equipment the cost of the equipment is written off according to use and affects your balance sheet calculations.

Tax-Related Advantages – With a commercial equipment lease your expenses are listed as direct operating expenses, which ultimately lead to a lower taxable income for yourself and your company. Another advantage that makes sense when you compare your leasing arrangement to a purchase is that if you had purchased the equipment, sales tax would then be applied and added to the costs accordingly. In some cases when you lease equipment, sales or use tax is then deducted according to the use of the leased equipment. Whatever the case you should consult with at tax professional to examine the benefits that apply to your company specifically in a lease situation.

A Real Find....

by Paul A. Racioppo from New Jersey on 2009-04-21
If you are looking for a book on Metal Detecting - this is the book. Has web sites, manufacturers, and other useful reference material - was my first book on the subject - and it gave me what I needed - and more... if it was metal vs paperback, it would be one of my talked about finds... worth writing a review about.


Great book for beginners

by Nicky Meinzer from California, USA on 2009-04-14
This is a well written book that gives you all the basics- How detectors work, what you should look for, who the manufacturers are...He even gives good advice, that I wouldn't have thought of on my own- such as searching the internet for antique maps, so you can use the detector in areas that would be more likely to have things of value. Get this book! There is a lot of info, and the book is small enough to get all the information you need in a couple of hours!

If the old timers had these machines there wouldn't be any

by Jack Purcell from Placitas, NM USA on 2003-09-17
The improvements in technology have corresponded inversely to the number of prospectors. Erosion during the past century has exposed millions of tons of virgin substrata for prospectors of today, and metal detectors will increase the chance of discovering new placers. There's no better expert on metal detector technology than Garrett. Great as those detectors are, they require some training to use them. Garrett provides the best 'how-to' advice available. His book will give you the straight-forward means to practice with it before you begin trekking into the canyons or sweeping old school yards for coins. Learn how to do it and you still mightn't find gold, but you'll certainly find the greatest treasure of them all: solitude.


Gold has a SHINE all it's own. Even Bill Gates Thinks it is GREAT!!!

by drayegon from Redding, CA United States on 2008-10-13
I asked Bill Gates one time Why with all his money he still kept going after even more? He said it is not the Having it is the FINDING that makes his day brighter. I retired from a 9-5 job in 1990. I was 40 years old. I love to find gold. My preferred method is to use a Metal Detector. I have a collection of books written by Charles Garrett. All of them on different ways to use a Metal Detector to find gold or other items of great value. Now you might think that a silver dime is not worth much. Still if it has a great history behind it. I could have been the dime someones father used to call your mother and ask her to marry him. Where would you be if that call never would have been made. This book is into the finding of GOLD like I have said it has a shine like no other. The first thing I found with my latest Infinium LS metal detector was a bracket off of a lawn mower or some such. I would not lie to you for this report. The second item I found with it was how ever a small 1 inch by 1/2 inch by 1/3 inch piece of quartz that had some metals inside of it. I have not ground it up to do an assay on it yet. Still I like to think it has GOLD inside of it. I for one really like listening to Charles Garrett tell us how to find gold or any metal with a detector. I also love it that he is not bad mouthing other metal detectors to try to make his detectors seem better. I do have some of his detectors and I love them. I know one thing listening to him tell about using a metal detector has made me a much better fossicker. Which is how they say it in New Zealand. 73 dray

entertaining and some education

by Dean B from Minnesota on 2010-01-31
This book entertains while also teaching you about places and situations for coin and relic hunting that you might not have otherwise considered. I found the tales of past hunts almost riveting and you probably will too, if you are interested in treasure hunting. Especially interesting information about ghost towns, ball fields, and homesteads in the midwest. Numerous pictures of relics and coins and lots of pictures of tokens. The author has much experience treasure hunting in areas that saw activity many years ago and those places are interesting to read about. The book could have used more editing but for this kind of book I found that just adds to the character of the author and the book.
