Machine Lease
Obtaining a machine lease through Brickhouse Capital is an easy and affordable way to get the equipment that you need now. As a direct lender, we are able to make decisions quickly, typically within 24 hours.
The application used by direct lenders is much simpler and easier to fill out than the application used by banks and other traditional lenders. Brickhouse does not require financial statements or a business plan for standard leases. The application is just a single page in length.
Leasing may be more affordable for your business for several reasons. Down payments are lower and 100% financing is available in most cases, allowing you to keep more cash on hand for operating expenses. To obtain machinery financing through a bank, you will need a significant down payment. Some banks require a 50% down payment, especially when the applicant is a new or small business.
Operating leases are viewed as operating expenses for bookkeeping and tax filing purposes. The equipment need not be listed as an asset. With machinery finance options through traditional lenders, the equipment would be listed as an asset and the loan amount is listed as a liability on the balance sheet.
Operating leases help to streamline bookkeeping by allowing you to list the monthly payment solely on your profit and loss statement. The tax benefit can be as much as 100% of the monthly payment, depending on your business and other factors that your accountant can review with you.
For most companies, the tax benefits are large enough to actually reduce the total cost of owning the equipment. The chart below shows an example of how this could work out for your business.
