The Advantages of Leasing Signs for Your Business

Leasing signage will provide businesses with many benefits, such as little-to-no up-front costs or ownership risk. Obtaining signage through a lease is one of the most efficient ways for businesses to get the signage it needs without affecting immedate needed cash reserves. /p>

The Sign You Need at the Price You Can Afford

Many businesses neglect their signage when opening a location, or they choose to go with smaller or less impressive signage than they need in order to be successful ... all to save some money for other expenses. With a lease that isn't necessary. If your business is retail, and it needs a large, bright, attention-demanding sign to bring in customers you are not going to be successful with a small, cheap sign. Likewise, if you are a high end architecture firm you aren't going to impress any clients with a flat plastic sign and vinyl graphics on your building or in your lobby. If capital is holding you back from getting the sign you need to be successful, a lease solves that problem. Your current revenue from the customers the sign is helping to close will pay for the sign, without costing you up-front!

Easy Financing

Leasing equipment is much easier to finance than purchasing equipment. Banks usually require two to three years of financial records before extending a capital equipment loan to a business and some new companies that need equipment don't have these records. Leasing companies, on the other hand, generally only require six months to a year of credit history before approving your office equipment lease. In addition, equipment leasing companies often don't even require down payments, and instead just collect a refundable security deposit. For equipment loans from banks on the other hand, a down payment of up to 25 percent or higher is often required.

Easy Upgrades

Leasing equipment can make it easier for businesses to keep up with the latest in technology. Leasing is an attractive choice for those companies who rely on the most cutting-edge technology, such as multi-color LED lighting, digital programmable LED signs, etc. A series of leases that are short-term will cost less than buying new signage every year. Some leasing agreements can even include annual or scheduled upgrades, thereby eliminating the need to contemplate whether you can afford equipment upgrades. Therefore, leasing actually gives you the capacity to afford more.

Repair And Maintenance

Repair and maintenance is a major concern for any signage. A leasing agreement can help businesses avoid costs for repair and maintenance. The leasing company, in many cases, will cover the equipment in the event that it breaks down. Even if they don't, the relatively low cost of maintenance on a sign is easily offset by the up-front savings for the business on their signage

Tax Deductions

Signage leases can be counted as a type of business expense for tax purposes. At the end of the year, these amounts can be deducted to lower your business’ tax liability.
