Why Lease
Leasing may save you money
In today’s marketplace, more companies acquire capital equipment with lease financing rather than term loans. In fact, according to the Equipment Lease and Finance Association, eight out of ten US companies finance some or all of their equipment.
No matter what your business size, industry or objectives, financing is a strategic decision and is one that provides ample financial and technological advantages for all acquisitions.
