Cash Flow Restricting Your Growth? Let business Equipment Financing And Leasing Of Industrial Assets Do The Job


Can you count them? How many times have you felt your ability to grow your company with additional sales and profits was restricted by inability to obtain business equipment financing and leasing for industrial and other types of equipment? If you're one of the lucky ones that survived the 2008-2009 recession and your business is growing again (or surviving?!) let equipment financing and leasing move your business forward.

The scope of leasing for industrial and other types of business equipment is broad, and that’s an understatement. Canada's largest corporations utilize lease finance, and even small entrepreneurial start ups can utilize all the advantages of this type of Canadian business financing.

Most business owners and financial managers in Canada prefer certainty when it comes to business financing. Equipment financing and leasing brings that predictability. Why is that? Simply because if you have chosen your asset properly (we’ll leave that one up to you) and matched the asset with the right type of business equipment financing then you have just succeeded in closely matching the cost and cash outlays to the benefits you will receive from the asset - whether that be high end industrial equpment or the latest computer or telecom technology.

Again we come back to restrictions you face on acquiring those assets. And this time the evil doer is ' the budget ‘. In talking to clients about lease finance and their strategies they employ they are often stymied by the budget cycle. Again, this applies to every type of corporation, large and small, it’s just that the big boys probably have a bit better handle on the planning and documentation around a budget.

But does budgeting have to restrict your success. We don’t think so, and that’s why equipment leasing comes to your rescue. When your company budget doesn’t not allow for either the size of an asset or the timing of the acquisition to work the way you want it to then business equipment leasing should become the solution of choice.

Why? It doesn't get any simpler. You can acquire assets of a significantly higher size by focusing on monthly payment and not total expenditure, and there are tens of ways you can adjust payments to reflect beating that budget. Payments can be temporarily deferred, lowered in earlier term of the lease, and if you choose an operating lease then your asset doesn’t even get impacted by the budget cycle. That’s because the monthly lease payment is treated as an operating expense within your operating budget.

In summary, it’s a battle out there, and you shouldn’t let your competitors win the asset acquisition battle because your firm didn’t take advantage of the flexibility of business equpment financing. Whether your obstacle to innovation is cash flow, budget cycle, asset dollar value, etc we think we have shown that you now have the ' tool kit ' to combat the business growth challenges you face in acquiring assets.

Turning Canadian Business Equipment financing Challenges Into Opportunities - Leasing Finance Works!


Over the last year or so business financing availability has declined for many firms. Let's examine how one strategy, business equipment financing - can be turned into an opportunity for your firm to succeed. Leasing finance works and we'll show you how with valuable inside tips.

How many options does your firm have when it acquires new equipment? To our way of thinking, only three - you purchase it, you lease it, or you arrange for term loan financing. The math around leasing finance often shows you it might be marginally more expensive than outright purchase. That’s because more financially astute firms have the ability, and do, to run extensive lease versus buy scenarios.

So why would you typically want to choose a financing option such as business equipment financing via a lease if it turns our it’s a bit more expensive.

We think the compelling reasons to utilize lease financing revolve around some very important ' real world ' issues such as quick access to credit, conserving operating working capital, accounting issues such as keeping the asset potentially off your balance sheet , and , getting down to brass tacks .. You as a user don’t want to end up owning a ' boat anchor ' of an asset that is still on your books but has little use or very little economic and financial value.

If your time is at a premium, and which business owners time is not, then you will surely be pleasantly surprised that the life cycle of acquiring your asset and financing it is much short via an equipment financing solution.

We have already shown you that financing options are limited, so why not choose the easiest and quickest route to approval - which more often than not is business equipment financing. The majority of approvals can be arranged within a week or so if you have a basic package that includes the asset quote or descriptions, your financials, and some basic business overview material on your firm and industry.

Many times the business owners challenge is what to do with equipment at the end of the lease - a lot of things can change in 3 or 5 years, which are the most typical lease terms. (By the way, it’s not unusual for some assets to be financed via leasing finance over 7 - 10 years; but you'll need to demonstrate company viability and asset value at end of term).

But back to that end of lease scenario - think of all the challenges - which might include: do you want to own the equipment, will you choose to return it, and will the asset be required for some indefinite time at the end of the lease...? Etc. All of those are unknowns, or challenges to your business financing. Yet leasing finance solves all of those - a carefully constructed operating lease can give allow you to face all three of the above challenges head on, and be in control of your asset destiny.

In summary - all business financing tends to be a challenge. In some cases of asset acquisition the challenge is layered with elements of risk and a lot of the unknown. Speak to a trusted, credible an experienced business financing advisor on how you can turn asset acquisition challenges into controlled opportunities for growth, asset management, and profit.
