What is asset finance?

An asset could be anything that depreciates over a period of time. It could be a vehicle, equipment, fit-outs or plant & machinery in the business.

An asset finance is a financing option that helps business owners to secure the essential tools and machinery needed for their business without paying a huge amount of money upfront.

It’s important to have the asset you need at the right time to maintain your business growth. Whether you have to buy a new or used vehicle or equipment, financing that asset may be the best-suited option for your small business as costly assets may be out of budget to purchase outright.

Asset loans are backed by the underlying assets to be purchased so no additional security is required in most of the cases.

Should you lease or buy?

Whether you need a vehicle or a piece of equipment to expand your business or to improve the productivity of the operation, you often come to this question: should I buy or lease?

As each of them has a different impact on your working capital, there are some factors you should consider before making a decision:

The lease term of an asset can range from 24 months to 60 months depending on the provider. If you’re planning to the asset for a longer-term, it might be cost-effective to buy the asset.

Signing a lease contract longer than the life expectancy of the asset is unwise. For instance, signing 5 years lease contract on a computer that typically becomes outdated after 3 years doesn’t feel right.

If your business is seasonal, you might find that you only need the extra assets during a certain time of the year. It might be better to lease the assets in this case.

You might prefer to lease the assets if you think they need frequent upgrades or maintenance, as those costs will be covered by the lease provider.

If the ownership of the assets belongs to your business, you can claim depreciation, tax, and other benefits. With leasing, there are no tax benefits that come with it.

What do lenders look at while financing an asset?

Generally, lenders give different weightage to different kind of asset to be financed considering the risk attached to each category of assets.

Potential tax benefits for financing assets through different modes of financing

Every finance structure of the asset finance has different ways of claiming tax deductions. Depending on the finance you choose to finance your asset, you might be able to claim depreciation, interest, or lease payments.

You will be able to claim the interest payment of financing the loan as well as the depreciation on the assets because you are immediately the owner of the asset at the beginning of the finance.

Since you will only become the owner of the asset after making the final payment, you won’t be able to claim depreciation. However, you can still claim the interest cost that comes with financing the asset.

Operating and Finance Lease payments are fully tax-deductible. However, you won’t be able to claim the depreciation cost of the asset as you are not the owner of it.

As every finance structure has different ways of claiming tax deductions, we recommend that you seek independent tax advice to find the best-suited finance structure for your business.

It’s not too late if you have already bought the vehicle, you can still finance it through loans. Some lenders may introduce loans that can reimburse the cost of the asset you bought. However, additional fees might apply.

Lenders take a charge of the assets financed through them and generally, you need to pay out the loan before disposing of it. You may enter into an arrangement with the buyer to refinance the loan with the buyer’s financier and get the differential equity cashed out.
