Finance Lease

this facility provides the customer with the use of the equipment for agreed period, generally between three and five years. The Lessee makes a series of rental payment that we can structure to suit their cash-flow. The residual value of the equipment is agreed prior to commencement of the Lease.

• This is the estimated value of the equipment at the end of the lease periods. Due to the taxation benefits associated with leases, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has issued guidelines which detail what the ATO considers are the minimum Residual Value percentages for all categories of equipment.
• Commercial Hire Purchase – the Hire Purchase alternative to leasing, provides a means for customers to acquire specific goods or equipment by the payment of fixed instalments over the term of the Hire Purchase agreement. Under a Hire Purchase agreement, legal ownership of the goods remains with the Financier during the term of the agreement, however, for taxation purposes, the customer is treated as the owner, and therefore may claim depreciation on the goods as well as a deduction for the interest component of the instalments paid on the loan.
