Cash Flow Considerations on an Equipment Lease

You have to consider cash flow when you are considering an equipment lease. A lease is often the best way to mitigate a tight cash flow in the startup phase of your business. There might just be even more leeway than you think in a lease.

Standard Lease

A standard lease typically requires the first and last payment up front, and then equal payments for the term of the lease. The lease term is likely anywhere from 2 to 5 years.

Step Up Lease

A step up lease is sometimes structured around higher priced equipment, such as digital copiers or printers. Payments begin at a very low level and then step up over the course of the lease to a higher, regular payment. The step up lease is designed to help startups receive the latest equipment without adversely impacting cash flow.

Deferred Payment Lease

A deferred payment lease usually offers the lessee a period of time, typically 90 days, before the second payment is due. Therefore, a copier lease might featured a deferred payment to allow a startup business to generate revenue.

There are a variety of options at the end of each of these leases. If you're considering an equipment lease, consider the Graphic Savings Group.

What is a promissory note?

If you're asking what is a promissory note, you've come to the right place for an answer. A promissory note is a legal binding contract between a lender and a borrower. The promissory note, (often misspelled as promisary note), has the terms and conditions of a loan including the amount and when and how a loan will be repaid.

A promissory note can be the basic backbone of a lease providing the direct terms and conditions and naming the parties involved. It is a signed document that is a binding promise to repay the amount conveyed in a loan. In the case of an equipment lease or leasing a copier, the loan is in the form of equipment or gear.

Typically, there is an upfront deposit or down payment and then the rest of the money owed in a transaction is guaranteed by the promissory note.
