Accelerating Company Growth

Equipment leasing facilitates faster company growth. It allows companies to add infrastructure faster by bringing in equipment earlier and paying over time. In this regard, leasing affords a competitive advantage over companies that wait to purchase equipment outright.

Defending Working Capital

Sophisticated business managers have discovered how to keep pressure off of their companies’ working capital. Compared to outright purchase, equipment leasing has a low impact on working capital. Leasing allows companies to avoid large upfront outlays while spreading equipment acquisition costs over an extended period. Using equipment leasing to manage working capital permits companies to pay bills on time and to operate smoothly. They are then able to gain a competitive advantage over companies that haven’t mastered this technique.

Maximizing Tax Benefits

Sophisticated companies are able to maximize tax benefits by carefully using equipment lease structures. By entering into operating leases and being able to fully deduct lease payments, companies that can’t otherwise use depreciation write-offs can still realize tax benefits. Capital leases allow companies that can use depreciation write-offs to take advantage of this feature. Tax benefits further reduce cost of acquiring equipment. These benefits can often make equipment leasing a more efficient means of acquiring equipment compared to other methods.

Turbo-Charging Equipment Sales

For companies selling equipment, offering equipment leasing to customers at point of sale can help establish a significant competitive advantage. Convenient equipment financing at point of sale can eliminate a major selling challenge— customer’s lack of financing for purchase. Equipment sellers offering leasing give their customers a means of acquiring equipment and realizing full benefits of equipment leasing. This sales-financing strategy represents a clear advantage over sellers who let customers fend for themselves.

Savvy business owners and managers understand benefits of equipment leasing. They also understand how to exploit leasing for competitive advantage. The challenge for them is to optimize leasing to realize biggest gains and to compete more effectively. It is no wonder that equipment leasing in U.S. has grown to over $ 240 billion annually and accounts for more than 30% of equipment acquisitions. Consider equipment leasing when designing your battle plans. Don’t allow your competitors to use leasing against you to win battle in your market.

The retirement investment plan should be proven to you. Once proven, you must have confidence in yourself to carry plan forward. This do-it-yourself confidence means that retirement plan’s ROI benefits only you and your family and no one else. A no-fee plan enhances return on investment, allowing every cent put into plan to work for you.

Companies owned in retirement investment plan should have a historical record of raising their dividend every year. Therefore, a future dividend increase for 10th or 35th consecutive year in a row can be ‘reasonably sure.’ The guide for selection of each security is its historical performance of rising dividends every year.

To receive best return in retirement investment plan, all companies in plan would be purchased commission-free. All dividends from companies would purchase more shares of each company commission-free. Therefore, every cent earned in ever-increasing cash dividends every quarter and any extra cash put into retirement plan would work toward increasing cash dividend.

Why bother beginning a retirement plan is best expressed, in my opinion, by a quote by Charles Kettering:

“I expect to spend rest of my life in future, so I want to be reasonably sure of what kind of future it’s going to be. That is my reason for planning.”
