In all businesses, there are so many things that need to be cleared up. Equipment lending is no different. Axis Capital Group Inc Business Funding , a direct lender providing quality equipment leasing/financing services from its main office in Nebraska to almost all states in America, is yet to unfold some of the facts behind myths in this industry. 1. Contrary to what banks tell you, you do not have to put your money down to buy a commercial vehicle. Banks do need down payments when they finance homes and buildings so they can just carry that policy over to commercial vehicles but with legitimate vehicle financing companies, $0 down payment is needed. 2. You don't need to offer collateral when you loan. Most banks make it easy for themselves so they get some insurance from you. If you don't have big cash for the down payment, a banker will often ask for additional collateral like land title, pledging of your account receivables, buildings or even homes. In the equipment financing companies, this is not a good policy. The equipment you are purchasing should be the collateral to support your loan. Some agents would also scam you into putting all you've got for the loan.

Indonesia is one of the most famous archipelagic nations in Asia. To better understand their equipment leasing status and their market, let us know more about them first. There are 17,500 islands that make up the archipelago with 240 million population residing in the main islands of Java, Borneo, Sumatra, Suwalesi and New Guinea. They are the fourth most populous country in the world. The country is not only rich with people but also with natural resources like oil, gas, tin, copper and gold among many others. Indonesia has placed 3rd in the world for mineral resources. It has a republican government and is considered the most corrupt country in South East Asia according to the annual poll conducted by the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC). Equipment leasing plays an important role in the country's economy (US $5 billion) which has been driven by the mining and the plantation industries. Vehicle finance is the strongest contender in equipment leasing. Analysts predict that vendors and joint ventures will soon pave the way for the country's equipment leasing to international experience. The country's competitor in this field is Singapore, China and Thailand as Indonesia's infrastructure industry is the fastest to develop in all Asia, according to reports and the need for leasing equipment is a must. According to Vinod Kothari Report in 2013, leasing in Indonesia started in 1974 through a joint decree between the "Ministry of Finance, Industry and Trade and Cooperation on License for Leasing Companies" While Indonesian market has huge potential being a fast growing developing nation, there are bottlenecks at the macro-level in terms of regulatory uncertainty, poor existing infrastructure, corruption etc. With a strong potential for leasing financing in Indonesia and few players to meet the demand, leasing is already on its growth trajectory.
