The Difference Between Heavy equipment Financing, leasing & loans
Heavy equipment financing can be done through a lease or loan. With a lease, you pay a monthly fee, similar to renting, but with the option to purchase the item at the end of the lease term. At the end of the project, you can decide if you want to buy it or turn it back in if the equipment won’t be used on a consistent basis going forward. With a loan, your monthly payments go toward the purchase, and you own the item outright at the end of the loan term. The better financing option for you will depend on the type of equipment you need and how you’ll be using it. If you need a machine for a short-term project, leasing may make more sense. Leases are also popular with equipment that becomes outdated quickly and needs to be replaced more often.
