Some of the benefits of leases as opposed to loans include tax benefits, a low fixed rate, no blanket liens, quick and easy processing, and much more. Here are some common questions people have when deciding between a lease and a loan:

  • Does leasing require me to make a Down Payment? - While most banks will usually require a 10-20% down payment on a loan, leases require only first and last payment.

  • Will my rates be fixed or varied? - When you lease with Qlease your lease rates and terms are fixed.

  • Does leasing require blanket liens? - When financing equipment, banks will usually place a "Blanket Lien" on your business assets. This can create problems if you want to get additional financing. Rarely will a blanket lien be required on a lease.

  • What type of tax benefits will my business realize if I lease? - The IRS does not consider an operating lease to be a purchase, but rather a tax-deductible overhead expense. Therefore, you can deduct the lease payments from your corporate income. Bank loans are not tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor for additional information.

  • How long will it take to process a lease application? - Qlease understands one of the most important resources to your business is your time. Compare the time it takes to get a $150,000 bank loan, which can take up to several weeks as opposed to a lease for $150,000 from Qlease that can be processed in less than a day. There are no business plans, financial statements, projections, or hurdles to jump over to get a $150,000 line of credit from Qlease. Just a one-page credit application is all that is required for Qlease.
