As a tool for increasing liquidity, leasing frees up capital that can instead be invested in other areas of the business. Since there are no upfront acquisition costs, leasing preserves liquidity and maintains a healthy balance sheet structure. An additional advantage: Lease payments are fully tax-deductible, exempt from business tax, and have no impact on the balance sheet. This improves your equity ratio and creditworthiness. Leasing payments, determined based on individual usage requirements such as term and mileage, are a fixed component of every company’s budget and are therefore predictable and easy to budget for.

In addition to traditional leasing, hire purchase is often a viable option, as it allows you to acquire ownership immediately. Furthermore, liquidity can be generated from the machinery fleet through sale-leaseback arrangements.
