WHY DO COMPANIES LEASE?
Companies lease equipment because leasing represents the best use of their financial resources. Businesses which do not lease operate at a competitive disadvantage. They deny themselves the productivity-enhancing effect of better equipment which they could otherwise obtain. They operate with older equipment than they could otherwise afford. Ultimately, they may lose the ability to compete, having higher costs and lower productivity than better-run operations.

For many U.S. companies, this variation on an old adage makes good business sense when considering the acquisition of capital equipment. A healthy percentage of companies have discovered that leasing is a convenient alternative that brings many benefits to their bottom line. In fact, 8 of out 10 companies turn to leasing to finance some or all of their equipment needs.
Since the 1950’s, the trend toward leasing has continued to grow. The Equipment Leasing Association (ELA) a non profit organization representing over 800 leasing companies, forecasts that of the $850 billion businesses will spend on equipment in 2006, more than $229 Billion (27%) will be acquired through leasing.
