Need to finance your snowplow?
Purchasing a snowplow
You know better than we do the advantages of buying and owning a snow plow right away. The drawbacks start if the price of a snow plow impacts your cash flow, jeopardizing your business in the short term. Or it may be the case that you don’t have enough money to buy a snowplow, which is absolutely normal.
Financing a snowplow: how leasing fuels your business growth
Financing is the solution to the drawbacks of purchasing a snowplow outright. The most common financing options are loans and leasing. For many business managers like yours, leasing seems to be the smartest option. Why? Here are their favourite reasons:
- you don’t have to deal with loan interest rates. The leasing agreement establishes a fixed number of fixed payments, a huge benefit to your company’s day-to-day financial planning.
- There is no collateral need since the equipment leased serves as collateral.
- Lease payments are 100% tax-deductible, providing a huge fiscal advantage while helping your business’s cash flow.
- Leasing doesn’t affect your ability to borrow.
