Gulf Coast Leasing, Inc. - flexible and creative asset-based financing

Why Choose Leasing?

  • Equipment leasing improves a company's cash flow. With leasing, there is no need for significant cash outlays vs. an equipment purchase - which generally requires a large down payment.
  • Equipment Leasing does not have any impact on existing credit lines.
  • Profits and growth are improved through equipment leasing.
  • Businesses choose not to invest in equipment that becomes obsolete.
  • Equipment leasing reduces long-term debt, which improves a company's balance sheet.
  • Equipment lease payments are generally operating expenses and are 100% tax deductible for most businesses.
  • Creative financing is available through equipment leasing such as lower payments during the early months of the lease.

Why Choose Lease One?

What Does A Lease One Associate Broker Do?
An Associate Broker works with referral sources who sell or finance equipment and business people looking to acquire equipment. All of the paperwork and available options are handled by Lease One’s Corporate Headquarters, which enables the Associate Broker to focus on the needs of their clients.

Why Should I Use Lease One Vs. A Local Bank?
There are many reasons. When a borrower goes to their local bank or Credit Union, he or she talks to someone who represents only that financial institution’s available options, i.e. loans or lines of credit. Leasing helps sellers of equipment offer creative payment options and users of equipment choices - that do not require large down payments or adversely affect their balance sheet and ability to borrow. At Lease One, we have multiple funding sources and match the best source and available terms to the each applicant.

Tax Advantages of Leasing

Tax laws affect nearly every aspect of any business - including the way they handle equipment acquisitions. Under current tax laws, accelerated depreciation can trigger the new Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Leasing may help businesses reduce the impact of this 20% tax.

Under old laws, the Investment Tax Credit and the Accelerated Cost Recovery System (ACRS) gave incentive’s to big ticket purchasers. Now, with rising interest rates, leasing has even more advantages and is the preferred method of acquiring equipment.
