The
concrete machinery required at a construction site is a massive capital
investment for any company and needs careful consideration. Concrete equipment
can cost thousands and even hundreds of thousands of pounds. If you don't have
the necessary capital available to purchase your machinery outright you could
consider leasing as a viable alternative.
Leasing
gives you the option to rent or hire concrete machinery for a specified amount
of time. There are many advantages to leasing, the most obvious of which is the
financial aspect. Leasing allows you to procure the equipment you need without
taking out a loan or paying cash. If you were to take out a loan for your
concrete pump, mixer truck parts or
concrete batch plant equipment, you would need to pay back the cost of the
machinery plus the loan interest. Leasing allows you to pay for the
depreciation of the equipment during the leasing period.
Equip
your Concrete Machinery Fleet Optimally-and with Minimal Risk
Choosing
concrete equipment leasing over more traditional methods of financing could
also mean you can afford more sophisticated equipment. You can also choose to
lease your equipment for the duration of a project which is perfect if the
project calls for lesser used items of equipment. Overall, leasing gives
companies more freedom over their budget and the equipment they buy with less
impact on their cash flow.
Funding
concrete equipment out of your working capital may be impossible right now
especially when it comes to larger items of equipment such as a batching plant.
Leasing offers the perfect solution at a time when companies are looking to
reduce capital outlay.
In
many cases, leasing can cover the full cost of your equipment including
delivery, installation fees, and even maintenance. This will allow you to
spread the cost of your equipment evenly over the lease term whilst also
allowing you to use your money elsewhere in the business and remain
competitive. What's more, leasing offers significant tax savings as lease
payments are viewed as operating expenses.
Avoid
the Risk of an Obsolete Fleet
One
of the major problems with buying concrete machinery outright is the risk that
it will become obsolete in a short space of time. New technology and
discontinued models and parts can make your fleet difficult to maintain and
sell. Leasing on the other hand allows you to upgrade and replace your
equipment when you need to.
The only
downside of getting your equipment this way is that you have no ownership. That
means you cannot sell the equipment or upgrade until you have bought your way
out of the current lease. Leasing can also work out to be more costly long-term
than a loan. However, because many companies operate in the present, this
doesn't necessarily pose a problem.
