Choosing An Equipment Leasing Company
By: Jay Murton

If you have made the wise decision to lease the equipment that
your business needs as opposed to buying this equipment
outright, you may be on the hunt for a great leasing company that
offers the equipment that you are looking for. Choosing the right
leasing company can save you not only money, but the hassle
that might accompany choosing a company that has hidden fees,
substandard leasing terms and agreements, or worse.

Although leasing companies serve the same purpose – allowing
you access to often expensive equipment without the commitment
of buying – there are many ways that they might differ. Some
leasing companies specialize in leasing equipment to a specific
industry – construction, for example. Others may lease all types of
equipment but differ in the types of leases that they offer on the
equipment – for example, a lease company might only offer full-
payout finance lease terms. Of course there are leasing
companies that only offer high-end equipment, and those who
offer lower priced equipment.

Before determining the company that you will choose for your
equipment leasing needs, there are certain things that you should
take into consideration. How do the companies I am looking at
stack up against each other in terms of pricing and monthly
payments? Is there an option to buy the equipment? Does the
company allow me to upgrade if a newer model is introduced that
can better serve my needs? Does the company handle service
and maintenance, and who is liable in the event of damage or
theft?

Another consideration you should make before deciding which
company to lease your equipment with is whether or not you will
be required to make a down payment. This is often determined by
your creditworthiness, but this is not always the case. Making a
down payment on a piece of equipment that sells for $100,000
can require you to come up with quite a bit of money at one time.
Make certain that you are willing and financially able to make such
a commitment up front.

While searching for the best leasing company for your equipment
leasing needs, consider going with a lease straight from the
manufacturer. Many manufacturers offer lease programs as a
great way to move expensive equipment. Oftentimes, a
manufacturer will lease your business a piece of equipment at a
greatly reduced rate than what you would pay with a leasing
company.

You might consider enlisting the advice of other businesses in
your sector when choosing your leasing company. Because so
many businesses now choose to rent their equipment, chances
are that another business owner can refer you to a leasing
company that is reputable and offers a great selection of
equipment that you might be looking for.

To finalize your equipment leasing agreement, it’s a good idea to
consult with your attorney. Terms and conditions that might look
fine to the untrained eye might carry legal implications with them
that are not favorable for your business. Have your attorney look
over any leasing document before you agree to its terms –
especially for big-ticket items.
