Fact
Leasing gives you MORE PURCHASING POWER
How?
By purchasing equipment with cash or borrowed funds, sales tax must be paid up front. For example, if you have $100,000 available in cash or through a bank loan, you could only purchase approximately $88,495 worth of equipment, as the other $11,505 would go toward the payment of taxes (assuming GST/PST of 13%). With leasing, you could acquire the whole $100,000 worth of equipment … taxes are only paid on the monthly payments! Also, if you used a bank loan, generally the bank will insist on some equity (usually a minimum of 20% of the purchase price) into the transaction, in the form of a down payment.
