Cashflow
Allows a business to utilise a new asset without the cost of purchasing it upfront.
Leasing is an iteration of asset finance that allows a business to borrow an asset for a fixed period, rather than having to buy it outright. Because a business does not need to pay for a new piece of equipment outright, it eases cash flow.
The fundamental characteristic of leasing, compared with other finance products, is that ownership never actually passes on to the customer. It is owned by the lender throughout the agreement and passed back at the end of the term.
By having a leasing agreement contract, a business is allowed to use equipment in exchange for regular payments. Finance lease and operating lease are the two accounting methods for leasing equipment and are used for different purposes and for different taxation purposes.
A business can also use one of its existing assets to generate cash flow. The asset is sold to a lender, who leases it back to the business for a fixed period of time.

The costs associated with leasing include the regular lease payments, which can be structured monthly, quarterly, or annually. Additionally, there may be maintenance or service fees depending on the type of lease and the agreement with the leasing company. The total cost of leasing may be lower in the short term compared to purchasing, but businesses should consider the long-term costs if they plan to lease the asset for an extended period.
At the end of the lease term, businesses typically have several options: they can return the asset to the leasing company, extend the lease for an additional period, or sometimes purchase the asset for a predetermined price. The options available depend on the terms of the lease agreement.
