About leasing

Stratasys F900 windowA Lease agreement is a contract between you ‘the customer’ and a leasing company for the use of equipment that you have chosen from a supplier. The leasing company pays the suppliers invoice and you pay the leasing company regular monthly rentals. The impact on your cash flow is minimised and you immediately enjoy the benefits of new equipment.

Leasing is considered to be one of today’s most popular methods of financing business equipment. Almost any item can be leased allowing our customers to equip their business today for an affordable monthly cost whilst preserving working capital.

With a low initial payment and various terms available, leasing can help you acquire the best equipment for your business rather than what your cash resources dictate. The difference between the best solution and the cheapest solution may actually only be a small increase in your monthly payment.

A Finance Lease is 100% allowable against taxable profits. This means that you enjoy tax relief on all leasing payments throughout the term. For exact benefits relevant to your business it is recommended that you talk to your accountant for further clarification.
