Four Reasons to Lease the Pegasus Therapy Laser:
- Free Up Cash
Leasing provides 100% financing - including items such as shipping, installation,
software, and training. There is no need to tie up valuable working capital
- making it available for more profitable opportunities such as adding sales
personnel, increasing marketing or taking advantage of quantity discounts.
A good general rule is to invest Cash and Working Capital on things that Appreciate
(i.e. sales people, real estate) and to Lease items that Depreciate (i.e.
equipment). Just as you would never pay an employee their full annual salary
in advance, leasing allows you to pay-as-you-earn.
- Take Advantage of Better Terms
In contrast to bank loans, leases do not require substantial down payments
or compensating balances, do not have floating interest rates or restrictive
covenants, and can usually be structured for lower payments. Bank loans will
typically allow for the note to be arbitrarily called and/or require a cross
collateralization of business and personal assets.
- Preserve Bank Lines
Bank lines are typically designed for short term cash needs and should be
preserved for that purpose. Leasing is an additional line of credit, expanding
your financial resources.
- Save on Taxes
Lease payments can be set up as a direct operating expense, paid from pre-tax
dollars versus after-tax profits.
IRS Section 179.
Under IRS Section 179, equipment purchases can be expensed (deducted from taxable
income) if installed by December 31st. Finance leases ($1.00 buyout) qualify
for this deduction in their year of inception. The maximum dollar amount of
equipment you can purchase in 2006 is $430,000 before the write-off is reduced
dollar for dollar for purchases in excess of $430,000. This deduction is effective
for purchases in the tax years that began in 2006. For any remaining amount
above the $108,000 allowance, you are entitled to take the first year depreciation.
20% First Year Depreciation taken after Section 179 under the IRC (MACRS, 5-Year
life, 200% declining balance, half-year convention) for the first year depreciation,
20% may be deducted the first year the equipment is placed in service. The total
cost of property that may be expensed for any tax year cannot exceed the total
amount of taxable income (determined after application of the investment limitation)
derived from the active conduct of any trade or business during the tax year.
Costs disallowed under this rule may be carried forward an unlimited number
of years subject to the ceiling amount for each year.
