On the other hand, a lease is usually designed for your business to acquire the equipment by renting it over a specific agreed term. By renting equipment, it may provide some important tax advantages depending on your business.

Commercial auto leasing can provide your business with the option to own the equipment at the end of lease with an end of lease buy out. Depending on the type of loan you business acquires, the loan rate may be fixed or variable and the terms repayment and penalties of cancellation vary.
