Frequently Asked Questions

Equipment leasing preserves working capital, provides immediate access to essential equipment and offers flexible end-of-term options. You can spread costs over time without large upfront investments, keeping valuable capital available for other strategic opportunities.
That depends on the lease structure. With finance leases, you’re treated as the owner for tax purposes even though it’s technically a lease, so you can claim depreciation and interest deductions. With operating leases, the lease payments themselves are typically fully deductible as business expenses — a different but equally valuable tax benefit.footnote 1
We purchase your chosen equipment, then you make lease payments for the agreed term. Depending on the lease type, you may have options to purchase, return or continue leasing at the end of the term.
There are many factors to consider: your cash flow, tax situation, and long-term equipment needs, to name a few.footnote 1 Our leasing specialists help you evaluate these key details plus depreciation schedules, maintenance requirements and capital allocation strategies.
