There are also tax advantages to leasing, along with preserving capital by avoiding high down payments. There may also be pitfalls in the leasing process, which is why it is important to take the time necessary to make sure leasing is the most appropriate option and determining that all necessary steps have been taken to assure a successful lease.

Almost every lease decision is different and unique, so it is important to study the agreement for any errors. LeaseQ recommends the following checklist designed for business leasing consumers.

•     What equipment is needed? For what duration will it be needed?
•     Is there a benefit in bundling service supplies, training, and the equipment lease itself into one contract?
•     Have the company’s future needs been taken into account in order to acquire adequate equipment?
•     What will the total payment cost be?
