Equipment Leasing

Let’s Start a Conversation!

Questions?

Is leasing equipment right for you? Why do people lease equipment for their business?

There are many reasons why leasing has become such a popular financing tool. Imagine if you needed a new piece of equipment that would make your business more profitable…

Keep your cash

Probably the number one reason businesses use leasing — it allows you to keep your cash in the business, working for you instead of tied up in a depreciating asset. You can typically lease 100% of the amount, which means no big down payments either!

Imagine being less reliant on your bank

What if you could save your bank line for emergencies or opportunities? Bank lines are best used for current assets like accounts receivables or inventory. Leasing can effectively increase your borrowing power and this can allow you to grow faster. We can even establish pre-approved leasing lines of credit — get what you need, when you need it.

Think easy

Leasing your equipment is simple to do. For an established business that wants to lease up to $75,000 worth of equipment, a simple one-page application form, a copy of the equipment quote and a quick chat with one of our leasing specialists is all that’s usually needed. No huge process and no waste of time. Even for larger leases, our requirements are much easier than qualifying for a bank loan.

How about tax advantages?

In addition to paying sales tax on the payments instead of as a lump sum all up-front, leasing has potential income tax advantages as well. Most leases are tax deductible — check with your tax advisor for details on your specific situation.

Profit with time

How about paying for that money-making equipment as you profit from it? Revenue minus expense equals profit, right? With leasing, you can start profiting from that new equipment right away. It’s also easy to add accessories or to upgrade to better equipment as you grow.

Flexible and creative payment structures

What do you think about seasonal payments for a business with peak cash flows at certain times of the year? How about having no payments for a few months while you get up to speed with the new equipment? With our equipment financing, leasing is a tool that can allow you amazing flexibility, if you need it. We will work with you to match the payment stream to your unique circumstances, making it easier and more affordable to get the equipment you need to grow your business.

Can you see clearly now?

As you can tell if you’ve read this far, leasing has many advantages over paying cash or using your bank line. If you’d like to find out if it will work for you, too, contact us and speak to one of our commercial equipment leasing specialists.

Equipment Leasing

Equipment leasing is our primary service and what started the Atticus Financial story. Equipment leasing is really just another form of financing, where the equipment is the collateral and the client pays an agreed payment for a set period of time. If you run a business and need equipment to grow or be more efficient, but you don’t want to use up your cash or your bank line, then equipment leasing is a great financing option. We can lease virtually any type of equipment your business may need.

Construction Equipment Leasing

Commonly called “yellow iron,” construction equipment can be very expensive, even for used machines. Leasing your construction equipment can help you get the job done better and faster. We lease excavators, backhoes, graders, boom lifts, scissor lifts, rough terrain forklifts and pretty much any other kind of construction equipment. Used equipment leasing options are also available.

We still lease tractors of course, but we also lease a lot of other kinds of agriculture equipment — everything from grain bins, greenhouses, blueberry harvesters, and automated vegetable packaging systems to combines and even hay balers, along with other field equipment such as aerators, field discs and rock pickers.

Fleet Vehicle Leasing

Atticus provides vehicle leasing for small to mid-sized fleets.

We have access to special fleet pricing when we source vehicles on our client’s behalf, and we pass those savings on to you. You’ll save a lot of time and aggravation by working with Atticus instead of trying to wade through the “retail” experience of walking into a dealership.

Software Leasing

Software leasing is similar and complimentary to computer hardware leasing, but since it’s an intangible asset, it is not commonly known that you can lease your software licensing, thereby spreading the cost over time. It’s also possible to include consulting and installation costs in your software-financing package, making it even more attractive when the software costs are high.

Sometimes our clients need more than just equipment financing and that’s where our project financing resources can help. We have worked with start-ups, expansion plans, business acquisitions, new plant builds, and many other scenarios where equipment leasing was just a part of the picture.
