There are two main types of leases offered. A FMV or *(True Lease) and a $1 purchase option. Here is a quick sample on how Leasing Works. In a true lease, the lender will buy the equipment and lease it to you for a specific monthly payment and term desired. You choose your equipment and negotiate the price. At the end of the lease, you choose one of the following options.

  • Buy the equipment at fair market value (usually 10% or negotiated value of the original equipment cost).
  • Continue to lease the equipment at a determined monthly rate.
  • Return the equipment and lease new modern up to date equipment or simply return it with no further obligations. You are not obligated to make this decision until the end of the lease term.

*A true lease is an IRS term that allows for the lease to be structured so your payment can be fully written off as an expense. Any option to purchase the equipment must be declared at Fair Market Value at the lease end.

Other leases may provide for $1.00 buyouts, etc., but are not permitted to be given the favored status of a true lease. Please consult a professional accountant to see what option is best for you.
