Finance Your Purchase with a 24-Month Equipment Lease     

Who can apply?
If you are a registered building inspector, engineering contractor you can lease your purchases valued from $2,000 up to $50,000.    

How much are payments?
Payments are spread evenly over 24 months. 
Monthly payments are the equipment purchase value ÷ 24 plus applicable taxes, i.e. GST and PST.

How are payments made?
Payments are by post-dated cheques, supplied annually, in advance.

No Fees
There are no setup, annual assessment or other administrative fees when you lease from Biomation.

No hassles
You can lease from Biomation to finance equipment purchases.  Credit approval is normally within 48 hours.

What is the security?
The equipment you lease is taken as security. The health care organization and the business owner are named in the lease and are jointly responsible for the lease. You must keep the equipment in a secure location and covered by your insurance in case of loss or damage.

Is interest included?
The amount of interest is reflected in the end of term residual value of 15% which represents the full amount of the interest over the two year term of the lease.

Leasing makes sense
There usually are tax advantages because the full amount of the monthly payments can be expensed against income, instead of using depreciation accounts.

Example:
Equipment with a value of $10,000 
+5% GST and  8% PST 

Payments are $10,000 ÷ 24 = $416.67 
+ 5% GST and 8% PST 
= $470.84 per month for 24 months.

Final payment is $10,000 X 15% = $1,500
+ 5% GST and 8% PST 
= $1,695.00 residual value.

You should discuss financing options with your accountant or financial advisor to determine whether a bank loan, equipment lease, rent-to-own or outright purchase is the best suited to your needs.  

Use your working capital and bank line of credit for other business needs.  There is better cash flow because monthly payments are covered by revenue.

End of term options:
Several options are available at the end of month 24 of the lease.

1. Purchase the equipment at the residual value = 15% of the equipment purchase price.
2. Purchase the equipment by making four additional monthly payments.
3. Choose upgraded equipment and negotiate a new lease.
4.  Return the equipment.
