Business leasing companies in Canada. When we talk to some clients abut commercial equipment finance options it's almost as if they feel there's a secret world out there that they have not been brought into. Does that have to be the case? Absolutely not. Let's dig in. All industries in Canada lease or finance assets. While it might be true that certain larger more sophisticated transactions require some heavy duty expertise it certainly isn't the case for the mainstream of business asset finance needs. Canadian business owners and financial managers simply have to have some basics under their belts, so to speak, when it comes to understanding the current leasing marketplace in Canada. In certain cases it might be some useful knowledge about documentation surrounding the lessee's rights and obligations - in other instances it might simply mean that a bit of knowledge can save you a lot of time, and money around entering into the right lease transaction - or perhaps substituting that decision with a loan or a bridge loan. Even sale leaseback strategies require a certain amount of expertise that will always save you time and dollars when learned properly. Many larger corporations and government bodies actually ' tender' their lease financing needs. Other firms simply ' shop around ', which also has its drawbacks when it comes to your financial disclosure out in the marketplace, etc. Do all lessees in Canada understand the true benefits of business leasing? While certain benefits are tried and true and always there -ie conservation of capital, quicker approval, obsolescence hedge, etc there are numerous other benefits , some of which might actually border on intangible that the lessee should be aware of in certain circumstances. The sad reality is that in certain situations lessees think they know the benefits of asset finance - but fail to understand them through poor use of both knowledge and negotiating. You can spend a lot of time these days on exhaustive ' lease vs. buy ' analysis when it comes to fixed asset acquisition - and having the right tools to make a proper balance decision is key. And it's not as complicated as you think. While the Canadian business owner and manger is trying to save money your lessor is trying to make money! All businesses are of course entitled to reasonable profits to exist, but in the case of asset finance it's critical to understand exactly how the lessor profits and benefits - which occasionally can be at the lessee's expense. And why is that? As we have said, misinformation or lack of information. Is it all about rates / interest rates in commercial equipment financing. Clients certainly seem to think so. We don't. That's one aspect of the puzzle, but there are many more - including type of lease you enter into, end of term options, upgrade strategies, and on it goes. If you want to maximize your interaction with business leasing companies in Canada consider seeking out a trusted, credible and experienced Canadian business financing advisor who is an expert in asset finance solutions.
