Leasing

VMI works with leasing companies to provide a variety of flexible leasing options so you are able to find the right terms that match up with your financial needs.  Leasing provides your organization with many advantages, such as:

  • A minimal down payment, sometimes no down payment

  • Complete Financing: Equipment purchases, as well as many soft costs – taxes, shipping, maintenance, installation – can often be included in the lease packages

  • Payment Flexibility: Customize payments to fit financial budgets and accounting cycles. This helps in predicting cash flow with the predetermined fixed leasing costs.

  • Tax Advantages: leasing often provides tax advantages, as some companies are able to deduct lease payments as an operating expense.

  • Purchase Options: at the end of the lease, you may be able to purchase the equipment under the terms specified in the lease such as the $1 purchase, fixed price, or fair market value purchase options.

  • Upgrade Options: another end of lease option is to upgrade to the latest equipment technology.

  • Renewal Options: leases may be extended for leases that have matured at a discount rate, given credit approval.

  • Technology Obsolescence Protection: various terms can be set to upgrade equipment based on useful life, the rate of technology, or regular upgrades.
