Pros and Cons of Leasing vs. Purchasing Equipment

Leasing

Pros

Leasing requires lower up-front costs, preserving cash flow.

Through leasing, you’ll gain access to the latest equipment with the option to upgrade at the end of the lease term.

Leasing can offer significant tax benefits by allowing businesses to deduct lease payments as an operating expense, reducing taxable income.

Owned equipment is usually depreciated over time. Leasing provides immediate tax deductions, which can be especially beneficial during high revenue years.

Leasing provides flexibility for short-term or seasonal needs.

Leasing

Cons

There is no ownership of the equipment at the end of the lease unless a buyout option is included.

Leasing may lead to potential higher long-term costs compared to purchasing.

There are usage restrictions or penalties for excessive wear and tear.

Purchasing

Pros

Purchasing provides full ownership, offering long-term value and potential for resale.

Ownership allows for the freedom to use and modify the equipment as needed.

Financing options are often available to spread out payments.

Over time, asset depreciation may provide tax benefits.

Purchasing

Cons

Purchasing requires higher up-front costs that can impact cash flow.

Owners have the responsibility for maintenance and repair costs over time.

Over time, equipment may become outdated, requiring future upgrades.
