As a business owner, it makes more sense to finance your equipment purchase rather than pay cash. Whether you are adding a new piece of equipment, starting a new practice or acquiring new technology, the method used to acquire the equipment can have an impact on your balance sheet. Your options should be carefully reviewed before paying cash.

Conserve your cash: Financing enables you to keep your cash on hand to improve your company’s cash flow. Paying cash reduces your cash asset and therefore has a negative impact on your balance sheet.

Cash discounts: Save your cash for other business needs. You may be able to get discounts for paying cash on your consumables, advertising, and other miscellaneous items.

Benefit from use of equipment: Pay for the equipment as it produces revenue. You can have the equipment pay for itself as you use it. Financing should be used for depreciable assets such as equipment.

Section 179: You can still take advantage of Section 179, if you finance. In addition, because a lease is not considered a long-term debt or liability, it does not appear as debt on your financial statement, thus making you more attractive to lenders when you need additional lines.
