MLC Group, Inc. More than just financing. Reasons to Lease

Did you know ...?

According to the U.S. Department of Commerce:
 

  In 1996 businesses spent an estimated $563.1 billion on productive assets; of that $563.1 billion, $168.9 billion (roughly 30%) was acquired through leasing.
 
In 1997, the Commerce Department forecasts a total $570.1 billion will be spent on equipment investment with $176.2 billion or 30.9% acquired through leasing.
 
According to the Equipment Lessors Association:
 
80% of U.S. companies lease all or some of their equipment.
 
Over 65% of Fortune 1000 companies lease.
 
Equipment lessors own over $400 billion in equipment.
 
Now Consider ...

Growing businesses need to meet increasing capital equipment acquisition demands. Leasing:
 

Frees working capital for more productive uses since leasing provides up to 100% financing.
 
May not appear as a liability on the lessee's balance sheet thus providing off-balance financing.
 
Conserves conventional lines of credit.
 
Is more flexible in meeting the lessee's needs than conventional financing (longer terms, quarterly schedules etc.).
 
Provides fixed rate financing.
 
Overcomes capital budget constraints (lease payments may be expensed in the operating budget).
 
You say you're looking for higher financial return? You want to increase the business return on your investment?
 
Leasing may cost less than other financing alternatives.
 
Leasing may provide faster tax write-off.
 
Leasing allows a higher return on assets.
 
Leasing may provide higher book earnings.
 
And what about changing technology? Shouldn't you prepare for the continuing need to use the most current technology?
 
Since equipment is paid for with pre-tax dollars, leasing provides a better hedge against inflation than after-tax dollars for loan principal payments.
 
Leasing allows for technology refresh and upgrade.
 
Leasing is a hedge against technological obsolescence.
