Leasing is a great option for many organizations.

You have tax benefits with lease payments - your payments may be fully deductible.
Leasing permits 100% financing with no down payment, so you get the equipment you need without a major cash outlay.
With leasing, you can arrange long, flexible terms with low monthly payments.
Leasing lets you put your equipment to use immediately to generate revenues - with minimum budgetary impact.
Leasing conserves valuable company working capital and preserves your bank credit lines.
Lease payments are fixed, not adjustable - you don't have to worry about floating interest rates.
