1. Use of Equipment. Equipmentleasing enables you to pay as you use an asset.
2. Fixed Payments. Monthlypayments on an equipment lease are generally fixed for the entire term of the lease. This is a distinct advantage in times when many equipment-financing transactions have floating interest rates. Knowing in advance what your payments will be enables you to budget & manage equipment cash flow.
3. No Down Payment. Most traditional equipmentfinancing options require a sizable down payment. On cash purchases this can be as much as 25%. No down payment is required on an equipment lease.
4. 100% Equipment Financing with Low Rates. Traditional methods of equipmentfinancing usually do not include “soft cost” items such as software, installation and freight. A good equipment lease transaction allows these items, thereby allowing you to finance the total package.
5. Flexibility. Equipmentleasing provides the lessee with greater structuring flexibility including payment variations, end of term options, etc.
6. Easier Than Bank Loans. Equipment leasing programs and procedures are specially designed to reduce the work and speed up the process of financing capital equipment for business.
7. Purchase or Renewal Options. Most equipmentlease arrangements allow customers the option to either purchase at a stated amount or at a Fair Market Value, or to renew the lease at a reduced monthly payment.
8. Conservation of Capital. Because of the sizeablecash outlay involved in purchasing new equipment, many businesses choose to lease to conserve capital. Cash available can then be used to buy inventory, advertise, and hire personnel. Any business that has important alternative uses for cash will always find that leasing wins out in the lease versus buy
9. Easier Cash Flow Forecasting. Because paymentsare fixed, users can intelligently budget into the future.
10. Ability To Work Within Budget. Subsidiaries of large corporations or department managersof small companies have the authority to acquire equipment they need, but only if it fits within operating budget Leasing allows them to have the use of equipment (which is all they really want) and still work within operating budget limits and avoid capital expenditure committees for approval.
11. Tax Benefits.Lessees can usually deduct their monthly lease payment as an operating This clearly reduces the new cost of the lease. Please consult your tax accountant.
12. State Of The Art Equipment. When dollarsare already budgeted, managers who need newer equipment can conveniently acquire that equipment on a dollar-per-month basis since the monthly payment precedent has usually been established.
13. Additional Financing. When equipmentis bought with borrowed funds, credit lines with a lender are reduced. When equipment is leased, a business has in fact established additional financing through its Lessor and in many cases preserved the bank financing amounts that were otherwise available to the company.
14. Use Lessor for Other Equipment Needs. Many Lessors are in the position to leasejust about any type of equipment.
15. Equipment Leasing. Your new machinery and equipmentwill allow you to preserve your existing cash flow and to be able to respond to new business The profits generated from the productivity of the equipment are usually greater than the lease payment.
16. Equipment Types.Below are just a few equipment-leasing options with Sumex Capital: Computers, industrial equipment, machining equipment, fitness equipment, software, used equipment, office equipment, office furniture, communications equipment, construction equipment, medical equipment, rental equipment, and much more!

The tax benefits and tax advantages of equipment leasing can be extremely important to a business’ cash flow. By carefully structuring your lease purchase with your accountant, certain types of lease buyouts, such as true FMV, may create tax advantages for your company if they qualify as true operating leases (true leases).

In addition to the advantages of conserving valuable company working capital and preserving existing bank credit lines, leasing business equipment rather than paying cash may offer tax benefits and savings if structured correctly. Operating or “true” lease payments may be fully expensed and accelerate tax deductions when compared to lengthy depreciation schedules. Conventional bank and other financing often have term restrictions and relatively higher down payment requirements than leasing. Furthermore, virtually all bank loans must be capitalized and cannot be depreciated. Sumex Capital offers 100% financing including soft costs, warranties, tax, freight and installation.

It is important to check with your accountant about any potential tax benefits or tax advantages for proper advise. Sumex Capital does not offer tax advise to any of our clients.

Lease vs. Loan and Bank vs. Lease

When comparing lease vs loan, or bank vs lease, for the lowest rates, it is important to understand key terminology and points. Equipment leasing companies and lease funding sources may be the best overall choice for purchasing your equipment.

Rate Structure:

Banks prefer to loan long-term money on a floating or variable rate tied to prime, or some other indices. This places the rate risk on you instead of the bank. Lease rates are fixed for the term of the lease.

Soft Costs:

Soft costs are such things as sales tax, shipping, installation, training, software, etc. Your friendly banker is more likely not going to finance these integral parts of your equipment financing needs. Leasing is 100% financing and can cover all soft costs.

Down Payment:

Banks typically require 10 to 25% down on any equipment financing. Once again, they are more concerned about their exposure and risk and less concerned about your practical business needs (e.g. retention of working capital). Leasing is 100% financing and most traditional leases or finance agreements require as little as 1 or 2 payments up front.

Compensating Balances:

Most banks will require that you maintain certain minimum balances if you want their lowest rates. Think about this one for a second; if you maintain certain balances that they pay you no, or low, interest on, this inflates their actual yield well above your loan interest rate. Additionally, this ties up your working capital. Leasing has no such requirement.

Restrictive Covenants:

Most bank loans contain all sorts of restrictions and covenants, such as maintenance of certain financial ratios, restrictions on future debt and salary restrictions. Additionally, look for “Call” provisions which banks incorporate that give them the right to demand and early payoff of your loan for reasons you have no control over. Leasing has none of these types of provisions.

Revolving Loan:

Banks prefer to classify a loan as a “Revolving” loan. This gives them the ability to extend or cancel the loan on a yearly basis. This means annual submission of Financial Statements for review and approval. Additionally, this loan is now a current liability, which really messes up your financial ratios. Leasing is fixed term financing.

Blanket Lien on Business:

Banks take a security interest in all of your company’s assets (presently owned and acquired in the future) by publicly filing a UCC. This ties up all of your assets, including inventory and receivables. Leasing companies typically file a UCC only the the leased equipment.

Disclosure:

Banks always want a full financial package to help them make their own credit decision on your loan. Leasing usually only requires a one page application that can approve a lessee up to a $100,000.

Lending Limits:

Banks establish a maximum borrowing limit for the company, and generally the principals also. This restricts future borrowing. Leasing offers a multitude of alternative lending options in addition to your company’s bank lending options.

Credit Review Process:

The bank credit review process is long and tedious and generally request further information. Leasing usually takes 24 hours or less for an approval.

Tax Write Off:

Since bank financing makes you the owner of the equipment, your only tax advantage is depreciation and the loans interest. Lease Payments may be 100% deductible or may be a form of accelerated depreciation depending upon the lease type and your company’s financial structure. We also have competitive products to bank loans such as finance agreements where you own the equipment from inception and no purchase option letters apply.

Our approved equipment list is very broad. However there are certain types of industries and equipment that are generally much more difficult for us to finance. We reserve the right to reject other types of equipment or industries on a case-by-case basis.

LESSOR – The funding source is usually considered the Lessor.

LESSEE – The business and/or principals signing the lease are considered the lessee’s.

FUNDING SOURCE – The company, or bank, that will be paying the vendor.

DOC THE DEAL – This step occurs after we obtain an approval from credit. Here, the rep requests the required leasing documents from the documentation department for the Lessee to sign.

PREFUNDING – Some vendors want to be paid at least a portion of the deal up front, usually 50% of the invoice amount. This is called prefunding. It must be approved by the funding source on a case-to-case basis. Both the vendor and the lessee must be stable for acceptance.

90 DAY DEFERRED PROGRAMS – For strong lessee’s who would like to like to begin their payments after the equipment begins to generate income we can offer 90 day deferred payments. These must be approved in advance by the funding source. Only strong lessee’s over 2 years in business under current ownership will qualify for 90 day deferred plans.

UCC-1 FILING – This is a filing with the state the perfects the security interest of the funder. Most funding sources will want filings to be recorded.

CAPITAL LEASE – Typically, $1.00 out leases are considered capital leases. This type of lease is very similar to a financing agreement, meaning that payments are similar to a bank loan. Usually, capital leases are not 100% tax deductible. The equipment is put on a depreciation schedule and written off over a period of years.

OPERATING LEASE – These leases have a buyout clause at the end of the term. , True operating leases can be 100% tax deductible. This means that all monthly payments can be written off as an expense and the equipment does not need to be depreciated over a term of years.

FINANCE AGREEMENT – With a finance agreement, the customer owns the equipment and the financier places a security interest in the equipment. These agreements are capitalized and depreciated. When the last payment is made the agreement is fully satisfied.

LEASE – Leases are a simple way of obtaining money. Leases, in most cases, will have payments or security deposits due up front, and a buyout at the end of the term. Leases are very simple to set up and have many tax benefits. Leases also require very little money up front and may not require financial statements or tax returns for up to $50,000.

HARD COSTS – Equipment and its tangible peripherals are considered hard cost. Most other expenses are soft costs.

SOFT COSTS – Freight, labor, software, and other intangible items are considered soft costs. Only a certain percentage of the total transaction can be soft costs in many cases. These costs usually cannot be recovered in case of default and therefore increase the riskiness of the deal.
