Standard Capital explains the Benefits of Leasing Equipment

​

Leasing Tax Benefits

Standard Capital leases can be structured so that it may have certain tax advantages over the other forms of equipment acquisition methods.

 

Leasing Improves Return on Assets

Return on assets (investment or equity) frequently is used as a standard of profit center evaluation. Leasing will have a positive effect when compared to ownership.

 

Tax Advantages

For example, lease payments with Standard Capital, unlike loan payments are sometimes fully tax deductible. With the new tax laws, some previous depreciation advantages of ownership are becoming far less attractive when compared to the benefits of leasing. Certain types of leases are viewed as preferable by accountants to avoid Alternative Minimum Tax Liability. Each company should discuss its tax situation with a tax advisor.

 

Improved Depreciation

Purchasing of equipment causes the user to incur a cost recovery expense which is called depreciation expense. In cases where the "lease cost recovery" is over a shorter term (less than 5 years) than standard "MACRS depreciation", a tax benefit is created that favors leasing.

 

Financial Reporting Advantages

When compared to a loan for the purchase of equipment, the use of leasing with Standard Capital will affect the balance sheet as leases typically do not appear on the lessee's balance sheet as either assets or liabilities.

By leasing equipment with Standard Capital, the customer can maintain available lines of credit at other financial institutions for emergency needs or other cash flow purposes.

 

Immediate Return on Investment

Profit from the utilization of equipment with a very nominal up-front cost.

 

Simplifies Bookkeeping Procedures

If a lease is structured so that lease payments are fully tax deductible, there's no need for cumbersome depreciation or amortization schedules which separate the principle and interest- as with a loan or an EFA only the interest is tax deductible.

 

Acts as a Hedge Against Inflation

Lease payments are fixed over the term of the lease end and, therefore, are not subject to any inflationary increases. The net cost of the lease will actually decrease relative to revenues, which will increase during inflationary times.

 

Overcoming Budget Limitations

Organizations restricted to a yearly capital budget are able to acquire additionally needed equipment with affordable monthly or quarterly rental payments.

Overcomes the Dollar Barrier Associated with Retail Cost

Leasing with Standard Capital provides the ability to reduce the total cost of an equipment acquisition to a convenient monthly payment. Since cost is usually the primary objection raised in the closing cycle, the utilization of a leasing program easily allows the sales representative to overcome this specific hurdle.

 

Cost Justifies Equipment

The utilization of equipment either produces income or generates savings for a company. Reducing the acquisition to a monthly payment can dramatically demonstrate the revenue and / or savings for the business and is a very effective closing tool.

With the Standard Capital Consolidated payment plan, the customer makes one convenient payment to cover all these schedules.
