What Kind Of Business Equipment Can I Lease?

May 13, 2013/0 Comments/in General/by Jess Wells-Flint

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.

3 Key Facts About Leasing Equipment For Business

April 30, 2013/0 Comments/in General, IT Equipment Leasing For Business/by Jess Wells-Flint

Whether you are a new start business, an SME or a large company, you may find yourself thinking about leasing equipment, machinery or office furniture, fit outs and moves for the first time. Perhaps you have moved companies, taken on a new role within your existing company or are simply expanding fast and wish to safeguard your all important cash flow. Whatever the circumstances, here are 3 useful things that you should know about leasing…

How does leasing work?

When you enter a lease agreement, the contract is between your business and the leasing company. Simply select the equipment you require and agree the price with your chosen supplier. A lease agreement is then drawn up by the leasing company.

Once the lease documents have been signed and returned, arrangements will be made for the supplier to deliver the equipment. On receipt, you sign a ‘certificate of acceptance’, which effectively states that you have received and are happy with the equipment. The leasing company then pays the supplier. You pay the company (the lessor) a regular rental payment, typically across two to five years.

What does it cost to lease equipment?

The rental is calculated by adding the equipment price after the Residual Value has been deducted, plus the interest due over the term of the agreement. The interest will depend on the amount you finance, the term of the agreement and frequency of repayments. It works just like a mortgage – the shorter the term, the less interest paid.

How to choose a leasing company

Selecting the right company to work with is vital. As with entering into any new contract, when opting to lease equipment it is important to choose a reputable leasing partner. A recent BBC Panorama documentary highlighted the need to diligently check the credentials of any company you may wish to deal with. Remember to always choose a leasing company who is a member of industry bodies such as the FLA (www.fla.org.uk) and NACFB (www.nacfb.org), which ensure best practice. Members of the NACFB operate under an Office of Fair Trading registered Code of Practice.

Small Businesses Need Better Access To Funding For Growth

March 18, 2013/0 Comments/in General/by Jess Wells-Flint

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.”

Growth of Mid-sized Businesses Essential to the Economy

August 28, 2012/0 Comments/in General/by Jess Wells-Flint

A recent CBI’s report forecast that mid-sized organisations could add up to £50bn to the UK economy by 2020 . However,  Neil Bentley, the CBI’s deputy director general commented, “Even with the right level of ambition firms will struggle to grow if they lack the right capabilities internally.”

According to Daniel Ball, writing for Real Business, if mid-sized organisations  don’t ‘tool up’ for growth their potential could be hampered by cash flow issues, supply chain inefficiencies, and a lack of business visibility. This is a critical time in their development and they can’t afford to lose focus.’ http://realbusiness.co.uk/news/dear-mid-market-please-dont-change-that-much

Here at WestWon, we couldn’t agree more. And we firmly believe that leasing and asset finance has a bigger role than ever to play in boosting business growth and the economy.
