LEASING
Leasing with A.S. Finance can offer several benefits to businesses compared to financing. One of the significant advantages of leasing is that it requires less upfront capital investment. When businesses finance an asset, they need to make a down payment, which can be a substantial amount of money. However, with leasing, businesses only need to make the first lease payment, which is usually much lower than a down payment for financing.
​
Leasing also allows businesses to use assets that they might not be able to afford to purchase outright. This flexibility means that businesses can upgrade their assets at the end of the lease term, without worrying about selling the asset or finding a buyer for it. Moreover, lease payments are typically tax-deductible, providing businesses with a significant tax benefit. Businesses can deduct the full cost of the lease payments from their taxable income, which can significantly reduce their tax liability. Additionally, the leasing company owns the asset and is responsible for paying any property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs associated with the asset.
​
Another advantage of leasing is that it can help businesses conserve their cash flow and maintain a better balance sheet. Leasing provides businesses with more predictable expenses, as the lease payments are fixed for the term of the lease.
​
In conclusion, leasing can be a great option for businesses that need to acquire assets but don't have the capital to do so outright. Leasing provides businesses with flexibility, predictable expenses, and tax benefits, making it a practical and cost-effective option for many businesses.
