Fiction: Leasing Equipment Doesn’t Let You Keep The Equipment

Many business owners are under the impression that when you lease equipment, you will never take ownership of it.

Fact! Leasing Offers Many Options to Purchase Equipment at Term’s End

The truth is a lease-to-own program is a great step towards equipment ownership. There are many ways you can find the best purchasing option for your business.

Since we offer ways for businesses to keep their equipment, about 90% of our lessees end up taking ownership at the end of their term through one of Beacon’s buyout options.

Unlike a personal auto lease, Beacon’s commercial leasing options are designed for the lessee to take ownership of the equipment at the end of the term.

Most Popular End of Your Lease Buyout Options

$1 Buyout

  • The lessee pays the bank $1 at the conclusion of the lease term
  • Ownership (or the title) is transferred from the Bank to the lessee.

10% of Original Purchase Price

  • The lessee pays the bank 10% of the original purchase price of the machine.
  • Ownership (or the title) is transferred from the bank to the lessee.

Fair Market Value (FMV)

  • The equipment is compared against the current fair market value of that equipment.
  • The lessee has the option to pay that amount in order to have the title transferred or return the equipment.

What Is the Cost Difference Between Beacon’s Buyout Options?

Generally, all 3 options are about the same cost over the term of the lease. Here are some key differences:

  • A $1 purchase option will likely have a higher monthly payment than the other options but have a lower ending payment at the end of the term.
  • A 10% purchase option or FMV purchase option will have a lower monthly note but will be more expensive at the end of the term.
