Bite-size Equipment Leasing

To jumpstart our blog, let me start by offering a guide for business owners interested in acquiring needed equipment for their businesses. While some owners will choose to buy their equipment outright, others should consider conserving their internal funds for working capital. A good option for most businesses is to consider leasing their equipment. Leasing helps businesses conserve cash, leverage their equity funds, manage working capital, and bring in the productive equipment that they need to compete (see "Using Equipment Leasing as a Competitive Weapon").

A good guide to finding the best lease deal can be found at "Insider's Guide to Snaring the Best Lease Deal". Once you have an idea of how to get the best leasing arrangement, you can fine-tune your search by arming yourself with more insider information. Go to this site to find a wealth of information: "George Parker's Leasing Articles". If you would like an even larger sampling of leasing topics, I invite you to read more articles by practitioners in the field at "Ezinearticles.com: Equipment Financing".
