Lease Financing
Versus Bank Financing
Rate Structure: Banks prefer to loan long-term money on a floating or variable rate tied to prime, or other indices. This
places rate risk on you instead of the bank. Lease rates are fixed for the term of the lease.
Soft Costs: Soft costs such as sales tax, shipping, installation, training and software generally are not financed by a bank.
Leasing may cover 100% financing so you avoid substantial out of pocket costs.
Down Payment: Banks typically require 20% - 30% down on equipment financing due to concerns about exposure and risk
(e.g. retention of working capital). You also lose interest that you would earn on your money if you had not put it down as a
bank loan. Leasing is 100% financing and advance payments are applied to the term.
Compensating Balances: Most banks require that you maintain certain minimum balances for the lowest rate. The
consequence of this is if you maintain certain balances that they pay no, or low, interest, this inflates the bank’s actual yield
above your loan interest rate. This also ties up working capital. Leasing has no such requirement.
Restrictive Covenants: Many bank loans contain restrictions and covenants, such as maintenance of certain financial ratios,
salary restrictions and restrictions on future debt. Also, “Call” provisions that banks may incorporate for their right to
demand early payoff for reasons you cannot control. Leasing has none of these provisions.
Revolving Loans: Banks prefer to classify loans as “revolving”. This gives them the ability to extend or cancel the loan on a
yearly basis. This means annual submission of Financial Statements for approval. This loan is now a current liability, which
negatively impacts your financial ratios. Leasing is fixed long term financing.
Blanket Lien on Business: Banks seek a security interest in your company’s assets (presently owned and acquired in the
future) and perfects by publicly filing a UCC financing statement. This ties up your assets, including inventory and
receivables. When leasing, a UCC is filed only on the leased equipment.
Disclosure: Banks often want a full financial package to make their credit decision. Leasing and the App-Only program
requires a one page application for up to $250,000.
Lending Limits: Banks establish maximum borrowing limits for a company and generally the principals. This restricts future
borrowing. Leasing offers a multitude of lending options in addition to your bank lending options.
Credit Review: A bank’s credit review can be long and tedious. Leasing may take less than 24 hours for an approval.
Tax Write-Off: Bank financing makes you the owner of the equipment, so the only tax advantage is depreciation and
interest. Lease payments may be 100% deductible or the equipment may be eligible for accelerated depreciation
depending on the lease. Please contact your tax advisor for specific tax information.
