Answers to Your Questions About this Common Form of Business Financing
Equipment leasing is a financing agreement in which business equipment is purchased by a leasing company (lessor) and rented back to the business owner (lessee) for a prearranged length of time at a flat monthly fee. At the end of the lease term, the lessee may either buy out their lease for $10 or 10% determined at the start of the lease, trade up for a newer model, or close the lease by returning the equipment.
