Compare Equipment Financing Options: Leasing vs Buying Equipment
Leasing is one of several equipment financing options available. But some operators may also consider buying equipment outright rather than with finance. So how does equipment lease stack up against buying equipment?
When purchasing equipment outright, the asset is posted to the balance sheet of the business. This may or may not be a positive for some operators. With Leasing, the asset is owned by the lender, so it does not appear on the balance sheet.
When purchasing, the entire amount of GST would be claimed as a capital purchase on the next BAS. With Lease, the GST on the monthly payments is claimed on the relevant BAS.
When a business owns an asset or purchases under other finance options such as Chattel Mortgage or CHP, the asset is depreciated over time to realise a tax deduction. With Lease, the monthly payments are fully tax deductible.
The practicalities of buying compared with Leasing include the pressure on available funds and cash flow. Depending on the size and price of the machinery, the business may be pressured by paying the entire purchase amount at time of purchase. Business equipment leasing allows the cost to spread over up to 7 years with repayments negotiated to meet cash flow expectations.
Leasing can provide a flexible, affordable and workable solution to acquiring business equipment. To consider if it is right for you, use our lease calculators for business equipment to generate estimates or speak with us for a quote.
