If leasing equipment is more expensive than traditional financing, then why does every Fortune 500 company lease?

The largest, most sophisticated businesses in the United States choose to lease even while financing options are available to them so they can keep more cash on hand and have more flexible monthly payment plans.

Overall Costs Between Leasing and Financing

Key Comparisons Between Leasing and Financing

When looking at financing and leasing in a side-by-side comparison, there are key differences that make each product unique.

1. Equipment Finance Agreement (EFA): The lender would be the lean holder, as opposed to the owner.

2. Commercial Equipment Lease Agreement: A lease-to-own product usually comes with significant tax advantages and savings. It has the same goal of ownership with an “earn as you pay” structure.

The Importance of Your Business’s Credit Quality
