Lease vs. Loan: Which Structure Fits?

The right structure depends on your tax situation, cash flow needs, and how long you plan to use the equipment. Here's a side-by-side breakdown.

Equipment Lease

Ownership:Lender retains ownership during term
Down Payment:Little to none — preserves cash
Tax Treatment:Payments may be fully deductible as operating expense
Balance Sheet:May be kept off balance sheet (operating lease)
End of Term:Return, purchase at fair market value, or renew
Best For:Technology, medical devices, equipment that depreciates quickly
Upgrade Flexibility:Easy to upgrade at end of term

Frequently Asked Questions

Most equipment lenders require a minimum credit score of 680 for competitive rates and terms. For asset-heavy deals where the equipment itself drives the underwriting — such as high-value machinery with strong resale markets — some lenders may evaluate the deal based on collateral quality and operator experience rather than credit score alone. SBA-backed equipment loans may have different credit requirements based on program guidelines.
