Leasing- A Smart Option for New and Used Equipment

In need of new equipment, but not ready to use all your capital to purchase it? 
Leasing is a GREAT solution.  Why you ask?

Not only does leasing help you conserve your cash, it also ensures that you don't wind up paying for equipment that becomes obsolete or unsuited for your needs. And think about this: if you need the equipment only for a short time or special project, leasing saves you the hassle of having to be both a buyer and, then later, a seller. 
Mazuma Capital will work on crafting a lease to help minimize your federal income tax liability, maximize your accounting objectives and customize cash-flow solutions to your budget.  Our Associate Structuring Group has expertise in all these areas and will help guide you to the best structure for your situation.

From technology and medical equipment to renewable energies, leasing is a great option. There's no limit to the type of equipment available for leasing. Even a one-person operation can lease equipment. Unlike loans, leases do not require a down payment. You're required to pay for the use of the equipment during the lease term. You may also be responsible for routine maintenance and other costs as well. When the lease expires, the equipment goes back to the leasing company, you can opt to purchase however you choose to complete your obligation.
Lease payments are considered an expense that you deduct from your business income, just like any other expense.

Flexibility is another leasing feature. If customers or the competition demand that you always have the latest technology, a short-term lease can help you get what you need and keep your cash in other uses. Another plus is that most leasing companies offer lease-to-own plans if you determine that purchasing the equipment is in the best interests of your business.
The Equipment Leasing and Financing Association, a trade group of leasing companies and financial services companies, has a special section that explains the basics of leasing at its website, elfaonline.org. You'll also find guidance on leasing options and benefits, loan/lease differences, leasing terminology.
