What is Leasing?
Equipment leasing is a financial arrangement that allows small businesses to access necessary equipment without the large upfront cost of purchasing it. This process involves a contractual agreement between the lessor (equipment owner) and the lessee (business owner), where the lessee pays periodic fees to use the equipment for a specified period. Leased items can include vehicles, machinery, or property.
While leasing often provides lower initial costs and predictable payments, it may lead to higher overall expenses compared to outright purchasing. The agreement also grants the lessor the right to terminate the contract if the lessee violates its terms or engages in illegal activities using the leased equipment.
Types of Leasing?
Equipment leasing is categorized into Capital Lease and Operating Lease:
- Capital Lease: Long-term, non-cancelable lease for essential equipment, often with a purchase option at the end. The lessee manages maintenance, insurance, and taxes, and records the asset on their balance sheet.
- Operating Lease: Short-term, rental-like lease with lower payments. The lessor retains ownership and risk of obsolescence. It can be canceled early, usually with a penalty.

FAQs about Lease Financing
Leasing enables companies to utilize the newest equipment with reduced initial outlays, fixed monthly payments, and tax advantages. It also protects cash flow and credit lines for other business purposes.
Lease duration and expense vary based on the type and value of equipment, lease term, credit history, usage terms, and whether it is an operating or capital lease. End-of-term options and interest rates also influence prices.
