Lease Finance vs. Outright Purchase:
What's Best for You?
Both leasing and buying have their merits. Purchasing equipment outright eliminates interest but requires a significant upfront investment, potentially straining your operational budget. Leasing, offers the advantage of manageable monthly payments without a substantial initial outlay. This approach also opens up tax benefits, making it a financially savvy choice for many businesses.
Types of Equipment Finance: What Are Your Options?
Equipment finance usually falls into two categories: Lease Finance and Hire Purchase
Lease Finance
Lease finance functions as a rental agreement, allowing you to deduct payments from company profits before tax calculations. This option often requires no initial deposit, and the monthly fee includes both interest and VAT. At the end of the term, you can continue leasing, return the equipment, or opt to purchase it for an additional fee.
Hire Purchase
This option typically requires an upfront payment of VAT and a larger initial deposit. At the end of the term, you have the option to own the asset through a nominal fee or a balloon payment.
Can Start-Ups Benefit from Equipment Finance?
Absolutely. Equipment finance is often more accessible for start-ups than traditional business loans. The asset itself secures the finance, reducing the lender's risk and making it a viable option for new businesses.
This is particularly beneficial for start-ups in sectors like commercial kitchens, gyms, construction, technology, and agriculture.
