If your business sells any kind of equipment to other businesses, lease financing could have a huge impact on how your business thrives.
Why should you offer lease financing?
Here are 5 good reasons:
1. More & Bigger Sales
Even if they don’t tell you, most of your customers need financing. A big mistake is to assume that only small or struggling companies need lease financing. It’s often a very prudent business choice for your customer. By providing an affordable financing option “in-house”, you make it quick and easy for them. This can speed up your sales cycle and even increase your client’s budget.
Additionally, you may miss out on a sale if your competitor offers a financing option and you don’t.
2. Customer Advantages
A few of the major benefits of lease financing for any customer include:
- easier budgeting and cash flow
- increased production and profit
- preservation of cash and credit lines
- increased buying power
- tax advantages

3. Get Paid In Full
You need to focus on selling your product, not chasing the payment. Offering lease financing lets you do exactly that. You get paid in full at time of equipment delivery.
4. Lower Your Risk
No carrying of customer’s accounts for 30, 60, 90 days or more.
5. Stay Competitive
Customers love options. Offering a leasing finance option on every quote gets your client off the up-front big-ticket cost and allows them to look at a monthly payment. This helps them understand the advantage of your equipment on their monthly outsourcing cost, cost savings or production increases.
