Equipment Lending Myths and Facts - 1 views
-
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. Don't get fooled into over-collateralizing your loans, just the equipment you are buying is enough collateral- nothing more. 3. Rules differ depending on the place you are at. The government's policy may affect terms with both banks and equipment lending companies. In most cities though, like Jakarta, Indonesia and Singapore as well as in Tokyo, Japan, some companies insist that you cannot get a 100% financing including tax, title and license (TTL). Equipment lending should be able to make a partnership with you, not take advantage of you. Equipment lending isn't 100 percent about avoiding risk; it's about helping your business get the financing terms you need. So the next time your bankers tells you they can't fi

To save us all of our precious time, here are some questions that you can prepare when you are planning to lease equipment. 1. How and Where Will We Be Using the Equipment? As a given, it may be impossible to lease an equipment in Nebraska when you are in Jakarta, Indonesia. However, some companies may permit shipping of equipment provided that rules and terms be followed. Review and determine how your company will use the equipment and the length of time it will be needed. This will help determine the appropriate level of investment for a lease. To help decide if leasing is a profitable financing option, perform a simple cost/benefit analysis that compares the periodic leasing payment to the revenue you expect to generate from using the equipment. 2. How Well Does the Equipment Finance Company Representative Understand My Business? Generally speaking, it is beneficial to work with someone who understands your particular market, regardless of the service you are seeking. This is even more crucial with regard to leasing. The equipment finance company's understanding of market fluctuations and other factors that impact your business can greatly affect the successful outcome and desirability of a lease contract. You may also want to get a good representative who can answer your needs. If not, then you are probably dealing with a scammer. 3. What are the Total Lease Payments and Costs?

Equipment Leasing Trends this 2015 - 1 views

Headquartered in Grand Island, Nebraska, Axis Capital Group has grown to become an industry leader serving equipment vendors nationwide. Halfway through 2015, we have already experienced a lot. As forecasted by the Equipment and Finance Association (ELFA), businesses, nonprofit organizations and government agencies have spent a great deal of money in capital goods and fixed business investment (including software) this year, financing a majority of those assets. Businesses is still to find opportunities presented by a steadily improving economy and favorable credit conditions as they make their decisions for equipment replacement and expansion.
Let us recap and review all these forecast and see for ourselves if we have already achieved it.
1. Investment in equipment and software will reach an all-time high in 2015. As the different economy continues to improve, business investment is forecast to reach a record $1.484 trillion in 2015. As business investment grows, demand for equipment financing will increase. In developing cities such as Singapore and Jakarta, Indonesia, results are now being shown but much is still being expected.
2. Businesses will invest in equipment not just to replace aging assets, but also to aid in expansion. The pent-up replacement complaints and demand that has driven equipment investment in previous years may be supplemented by long-awaited expansion investment as capacity utilization rates in some industries reach or surpass levels historically known to spur business investment. Industries poised for investment growth include oil and gas extraction and transportation equipment manufacturing.
3. Improving market conditions will continue to increase credit supply and demand for equipment acquisitions. As the economy steadily improves and business confidence continues to increase, credit standards should modestly loosen. The rate at which businesses finance their capital spending has grown consistently and will continue to increase in 2015 with steady economic recovery and shifts in Federal Reserve policy.
4. Eyes will be on short-term interest rate increases. Expectations for the Federal Reserve to raise short-term interest rates in 2015 should spur equipment investment as businesses seek to lock in equipment financing at lower rates. Despite rate increases, businesses will find that a highly competitive "buyer's market" will continue to make financing an attractive option for acquiring equipment.
5. Advances in the use of technology drives and will drive innovative financing options. Equipment finance providers are streamlining their business processes and improving customer self-service capabilities using digital technologies. At the same time, some end-users are moving away from traditional equipment consumption models and toward hosted or managed services based on usage rather than total ownership. To meet customer demand and address evolving technology equipment requirements, equipment finance companies will tailor innovative financial offerings.

How to Buy Off-Lease Computers - 2 views

Off-lease computers are any desktops or laptop computers which have been leased by an equipment leasing company for a specific period of time. After the leasing period and the product has been returned, manufacturers will totally inspect the item, repair any damages and sell them at prices far below the newer units. In order to get the best deal, it is important to investigate how the unit was repaired, what were the damages, evaluate the warranty plan and compare features and prices to other leased equipments.
Axis Capital group Inc., a group of individuals providing quality equipment leasing services along with superior customer service, has tips for you on how to choose off-loose computers for your daily needs:
1. Determine what you need.
- This includes the purpose of your need of the computer. Is it only for word documents? For internet? For video production and editing? The ability to support your need of high speed internet or inclusions of external devices like flash drives or CDs is vital when purchasing your equipment.
2. Trust the Leading Sellers
- A friend of mine from Jakarta, Indonesia actually advised this when I was in the midst of creating a blog. Identify the Sellers that already have a reputation for providing quality off-lease equipment. These sellers should have strict standards when it comes to repairing computers. This will prevent you from getting involved in scams and fraudulent acts that are nowadays plaguing the industry.
3. Consider Features Included
- The type of RAM and ROM used in the hardware should also be considered. Its Operating System, and the inclusions of equipment such as built in camera and speakers should also be actively looked into. Review the essentials you need and search for more additional features which you might also need in the future.
4. Research the Unit
- You can research about the computer model, its origin and the features it provide to know if the strict re-certification is actually true. You can also use both online and offline sources to investigate.
5. Determine the warranty plan
- Some off lease computers will come with a basic warranty that is good for anywhere from a few months to a calendar year from the date of purchase. Take the time to look closely at the terms of those warranties and identify the ones that offer the greatest level of protection during the warranty period.
6. Compare Prices
- If the item already suits your needs, now take time to compare prices to other similar items. Settle for the best product that has the best feature, comes with a good warranty and competitive price.

However, financial constraints may put off the purchase of new equipment during the low times of economic downturn. The great outlay of cash presents and creates challenges for business operations of today's healthcare providers.
On the other hand, for those who have money to purchase, they do not have time to wait for it to come to the market. A doctor from Jakarta, Indonesia, where shipping quality equipments poses great challenges which includes getting scammed especially if you are a first-timer stated, "The longer you wait for something, often the more of a problem it becomes. This holds especially true when it comes to anything medically related. Whether you're a doctor, dentist, or a vet, you require certain machinery to better take care of your customers and ultimately fulfill your duties in the greatest capacity. So, why wait for that equipment when you can lease it?"
Equipment leasing has been the solution for most healthcare providers. For many medical practitioners, equipment leasing is the most viable option for obtaining the equipment required without spending much money.
1. 100% Financing
A lease does not often require a down payment. Healthcare providers can use the money that should be used for down payment to buying more important needs or reinvest in business.
2. Equipment Upgrade
Leasing allows you to upgrade your equipment giving your patient a chance to experience high-quality health care and prevent complaints and loss of patients. On your part, it can keep you from obsolescence since you can do the upgrade after the end of your leasing period
3. Flexible Payment Options
Your leasing company is flexible in terms of the payment options. You both would have to compromise to the need and most beneficial option for both. There are also typically three flexible options at the end of a term. The lessee can return the equipment, purchase the equipment from the leasing company or extend the lease for an additional period of time.
4. Asset Management
A lease provides the use of the technology solution for specific periods of time at fixed payments. The leasing company assumes and manages the risk of technology ownership. At the end of the lease, if the healthcare provider elects to return the technology, the leasing company is responsible for the disposition of the asset.
5. Tax Deductions
The IRS does not consider certain leases to be a purchase, but rather a tax-deductible overhead expense. Therefore, medical practices can deduct the lease payments from income, thus reducing the net cost of the lease.
Medical equipment leasing is extremely popular with x-ray machines, intraoral scanners, or even software systems because of how expensive it can be up front. Rather than taking a big chunk of change directly out of your budget, you can have

The particulars of new businesses depend on the type of new business you are starting and the type of equipment you are leasing. 2.

Work only with established leasing providers like Axis Capital Group. 4. Once you have made sure that the leasing company is legitimate and not a fraud, make sure that they can accommodate your special needs before filling your application. 5. Be prepared to explain in advance any negative business results to a lease financing provider. For example, if you had a business loss in the previous years that led you to starting your new business explain why. A man from Jakarta, Indonesia had been interviewed by his leasing company when he once applied for a lease but did not tell that he has experienced loss from before. Turns out that the leasing company did a background check about him. In the end, he was not able to get the lease from that company and from the other companies that are associated to that company.

Equipment Leasing Rare Scams Unveiled - 1 views

Axis Capital Funding Group took note of some of the scams that you should be aware of when you apply for equipment leasing. If you think it may be impossible for big companies to pull these schemes off, think again. You may be surprised at their mastery on these things. Great scammers stay behind the shadows of legitimate businesses. Fortunately, fraud is a very rare case in the industry.
Will Teft, an expert in this field, points out two types of fraud used by major equipment financial companies.
Serial Number Fraud is one of the main schemes. This involves receipts and subsequent financial of functional set of serial number for the purpose of financing the same physical item equipment with multiple lessors. This is often used using fabricated set of serial number tags. This kind of fraud is detected by documenting the serial number to the result of physical inspection.
Another kind of scams that Teft had pointed out is the misinterpretation of prices which is more subtle and more difficult to detect. In this situation, the equipment do exists with legitimate serial number. However, in this field, the purchased price of the valuable does not reflect a true market-value of the equipment. This is usually done to an inexperienced lessor without prior knowledge about the equipment to be leased.
Rob Misheloff of Smarter Finance USA also compiled 5 Equipment Leasing Scams and Problems.
The first one is the Evergreen Clause.
Say you leased equipment for 48 months, some companies offer $1 buyout which means you can pay a dollar after the contract and the equipment will be yours. However, some companies have a 90-day clause which requires you to notify them before the date set or they'll renew the contract for 6 or 12 months. This kind of scams is actually legal in many states.
Advanced Fee Scams on the other hand requires that you pay a large deposit (sometimes even thousands of dollars) before getting you approved for financing. They still keep the money if you don't get the approval.
Some equipment companies even use tactics which are already considered illegal like changing the contract hoping that you won't notice. One best reminder is to check and recheck your contracts as detailed as possible. You can keep a copy for yourself and compare later on.
The government has created different anti-fraud agencies all over the states in America to protect citizens from these acts. UK also has their own share of legal aids to approach when such circumstances occur. In Asia, particularly in Jakarta, Indonesia and Singapore where there are reports of these anomalies, there is no specific agency fighting against this specific cause so it is easier for scammers to take control.

Here are the advantages that need reviewing for procuring your equipment leasing:
1. Almost zero initial cash outlay
The main advantage of leasing is that you can generally gain the use of an asset with less of an initial cash expenditure than would be required if you purchased it. Equipment leases rarely require down payments.
2. Minimum restrictions
An equipment lease rarely includes any provisions that restrict your future financial operations. However, acquisition of additional equipment without the lender's permission is restricted. Complaints for this matter are also indicated in the terms of the loan process.
3. Obsolescence not being a problem
Leasing may enable you to better keep pace with improving technology. For computers, communications devices, and other equipment that is subject to rapid technological improvement, you'll have an easier time convincing yourself to invest in updated equipment if you acquired your existing equipment under a short-term lease or a lease that includes an equipment substitution provision.
4. Maintenance support
Under some leases the lessor may agree to be responsible for maintaining and repairing the leased equipment. Although the cost of this service will usually be factored into your rental payments, you'll at least avoid the problems of having to find qualified repair persons and of being burdened with unplanned repair costs. Furthermore, a responsive lessor who is familiar with the equipment being leased can significantly reduce your equipment's downtime when repairs are necessary.
