Vehicle/Equipment leasing vs financing – what’s the difference?

Have you ever acquired a vehicle or other equipment by finance or leasing before? Are you interested in acquiring vehicle asset now or nearest future? If you are gainfully employed, let us take you through the differences between the two methods of asset acquisition.

When you obtain finance to purchase vehicle or equipment, the financial loan is provided as the full amount to buy the equipment/vehicle. Typically, the bank does this through a loan facility that is collateralized. Also many equipment manufacturer/major distributors partner with the bank to avail this financing service.

On the other hand, when leasing the asset, it is key to note the following differences:

• You do not need to save to acquire the asset.
• The asset is made available for usage immediately with future repayment.
• The repayment is structured to your cash flow pattern of installmental repayment.
• The option of ownership of the asset upon repayment completion is available.
• There is an advantage of obtaining another asset of higher grade.
• Easy documentation and non collateralized facility. The vehicle itself is the security for the facility.
• Easy method of replacement of obsolete asset.
