What Kind Of Business Equipment Can I Lease?

Business Up and Debt Down in Asset Finance

Businesses are successfully using asset finance

You can lease almost any type of business equipment or IT technology, including software. You simply chose the equipment you need to grow your business and WestWon provides the funding.

As WestWon is completely independent of any supplier or manufacturer, you can choose any combination of equipment and technology you require for your lease agreement. WestWon is also happy to help recommend suppliers if you don’t have one in mind.

Key benefits of leasing for business

  1. Lease payments can be set against profit, thereby potentially reducing tax bills.
  2. Flexibility and cash flow boost: you can obtain the business equipment and technology you need without tying up available cash and lines of credit.
  3. Your business can also get an instant Return on Investment as once you make a set initial payment, you can acquire and start using the asset immediately, while spreading payments over the useful life of the equipment.
  4. Flexible repayments: lease payments can be tailored to match seasonal cash flow. You can also choose a fixed interest rate, which protects against interest rate rises and enables you to plan your budget effectively.
  5. Avoidance of equipment obsolescence and easier upgrades in the future: increasingly vital as more and more businesses are becoming technology-driven.

Small Businesses Need Better Access To Funding For Growth

Small companies’ access to finance is the issue which business secretary Vince Cable worries about the most, he has revealed.

Speaking at Innovate UK in London, Cable said: “We’re dealing with the legacy of a terrible financial crisis and it will take a while to get lending flowing to SMEs. This is the one subject which keeps me awake at night.”

The business secretary added that “banks aren’t doing what they should be doing – lending to SMEs” despite government initiatives like Funding for Lending which he admitted “frankly isn’t yet working the way it should”.

Saying that ministers are trying to get capital flowing to small firms, Cable stressed: “We realise there’s a terrible problem but we’re doing all we can.” 

WestWon’s Jeremy Hall commented, ” Access to funding and protecting cash flow remains a major issue for many SMEs today. That’s why many more businesses are actively looking at leasing as a positive way to invest and grow.”
