What is leasing?
If you pay for an asset using cash it can cause a reduction in your working capital. An alternative method could be to use Asset Finance leasing; this enables you to use an asset without making a substantial capital expense. If you lease an asset then you pay the lessor, who continues to own it, regular payments for the term of the contract.
You can lease a wide range of equipment for use in many different sectors of the economy. There are some industries Where leasing is quite common; these include transport, manufacturing and construction. Equipment leasing agreements are made to be flexible, they can often be adapted to meet the specific needs of your company.
Types of leasing -
The two main forms of leasing
- Direct leasing – When using this form of leasing you locate the asset you wish to obtain and give the details to a leasing company. They can buy the asset from the supplier or the previous owner and rent it out to your company.
- Sale and leaseback – This type can also be referred to as purchase leaseback. With this method you sell an asset that you already own to the leasing company in order to free up capital and they will then rent it back to your firm.
