Lets dig in a little bit deeper into Leasing and Success.

Right now the housing market is at a very low point for new construction. This also effects Log Homes and other wood products.

Distributors don't build up inventory and we can all see that orders are getting smaller.

What happened 15 years ago in Europe ?

The market situation and the consumer changed. Saw mills and other wood processing companies were numerous, mostly smaller and medium sized companies. For the most part those companies reacted too late to the changes in the market. They thought it was not necessary to upgrade equipment. The market dropped, prices hit the bottom. At the same time there was a dramatic increase in imports of wood products from Eastern Europe. The ones that were not prepared used up their equity and were out of business within a few years. This was the perfect opportunity and chance for some companies. They upgraded and optimized their equipment, changed their sales strategy, adjusted the product and their product volume, lowered their product costs. At the same time they lowered their prices. The result was, they became much stronger companies with much better products, up to date product lines and - they are making profit. Those companies didn't just survive, they are stronger than ever.

Does your company want to survive ? I guess you answer is a clear Yes !

But you should act now, before you use up all your equity and your credit history drops.

No bank or leasing company will finance a dying company. They will only grant a loan if it's certain that the loan will be paid back. They want to make profit without any risk.

Before you apply for a loan or lease, your should consider if this is the right choice for your company.

What is equipment leasing ?

Instead of buying equipment you have the option to lease it - you pay a monthly rental fee to use it. Equipment leasing is available for all types of equipment. Leasing is available from banks, finance companies and leasing companies.

Some are specialized for transactions under $ 75,000 and some are specialized for transactions over $ 75,000. Interest rates vary.

Is leasing a good option for your company ?

Leasing is an excellent option for companies with good credit history that need to make major investments in equipment but don't want to tie up large sums of money for a long time period.

It is also a good option for companies that need to change their equipment frequently or plan to upgrade their equipment in the near future again.

Leasing is also an alternative for companies that can afford the monthly leasing payment but don't have the money to pay the full sales price at this time.

Is leasing the best choice for your company ?

Consult your CPA about the possible tax advantages of leasing to determine whether it is better to buy or lease.

When your bank is acting real slow coming thru with the loan for the purchase of equipment and you have to make a decision fast.

If your company has a good credit history.

If you have advanced orders or if you can pick up new contracts and if you have to get the needed equipment immediately.

When is leasing not a good choice ?

If your credit history is already bad.

If you can not afford the monthly leasing payment.

If your current situation does not justify the purchase of new equipment, unless you have the opportunity to get new customers and new contracts.

If you want to lease cheap unreliable equipment. You have to pay your monthly leasing fee regardless if the equipment runs or brakes down, if your supplier decides not to send you spare parts ...........

Prepare yourself and prepare a lease package

A lease is a kind of a loan. You have to show the lessor clearly why he should give you the lease.

The lessor will check your companies credit history. Don't submit any false information, but don't hesitate to point out any positive developments and information.

The information package should include: 

If you have advance orders or established contracted business, show that to a potential lessor. It will do wonders for getting your equipment lease application approved.

The idea that revenue is waiting for the machine to arrive is a great motivator in speeding along the equipment lease process.

Also show that the equipment you want to lease is well suited to your operation and jobs. A good fit is crucial to business success.

If you prepare an honest, meaningful information package your chances of being approved on your lease will greatly improve.
