How to lease equipment<br>Conserve working capital. Instead of investing a large amount of capital in a cash down-payment, leasing will require you to make low monthly payments. This can be especially helpful if you do not have the necessary lump sum of money on hand to purchase a specific piece of equipment; in particular, leasing is appropriate when cash might be tight.
If cash is tight, make a lump sum payment rather than lease - as large a payment as possible, and ideally more than you can afford.
