As you make your decision, please consider these benefits leasing provides...

Do you really…
Want the equipment to pay for itself? You wouldn't be expanding your business or upgrading your capabilities unless it increases your productivity or provides you with new opportunities to generate more income. With a lease, your new equipment helps you produce the extra funds that will usually cover the monthly cost almost right from the start.

Want to avoid down payments and other outlays for soft costs? Traditional business loans usually require a large down payment, often as much as 20%. In addition, they don’t include such things as freight, installation or employee training. A well-designed lease program allows you to include these important "soft costs" in the total package.

Need to protect your company against obsolescence. In today's world of quickly advancing technology, the equipment you buy today can be outdated in a matter of months. When you lease equipment, you won't get stuck with something that has little value to you or anyone else. You can arrange at the end of your lease to purchase the equipment for its fair market value (or an agreed upon amount), continue leasing, lease new equipment or return it.

Prefer payments that fit your business and budget. When you work with a BridgePoint Advisor, you'll be able to structure your payments to meet your business needs. You can budget in a standard monthly payment or take advantage of such options as changing seasonal payments.

Want to establish and utilize additional lines of credit. When you purchase any type of equipment with borrowed money, your bank credit lines will be reduced. When you lease equipment, you're really establishing a new line of credit with your Lessor. Your current credit with your bank will still be available for other uses.

Like to cut through the red tape. Working with BridgePoint is almost always a faster and easier way to gain what you need to expand or improve your business. There are simply far fewer governmental and legal obstacles to address. This is especially true if you wish to extend your commitment beyond the typical 12 to 36 months. A professional BridgePoint Advisor works with you to ensure your success.
