"Buy
what appreciates, lease what depreciates."
Dale Carnegie
Types of Leases:Buyout Options:End
of the Lease Term:
*
$1 Buyout - You can purchase the equipment
for one dollar. This is ideal if the useful life of the equipment
is expected to be greater than the lease term.
*
10% Buyout - You have the option to purchase
the equipment for 10% of the original cost. Payments are lower than
the $1 buyout. This is ideal if the useful life of the equipment is
expected to be greater than the lease term and you want a fixed purchase
price.
* FMV (Fair Market Value) Buyout - This lease
provides the lowest payment option and normally qualifies as an operating
or true lease. At the end of the lease term you have the option to
purchase the equipment for its fair market value as determined at
that point in time.
All leases have the option to return the equipment and start a new
lease, or to continue leasing the equipment.
