In today's competitive global market, a variety of capital equipment is required to remain competitive. Whether acquiring new or used equipment, leasing represents both new opportunities and challenges. The opportunities include reaching new production goals, new levels of efficiency, and increased profitability. The challenges lie in finding lease programs tailored to your company's needs, customized to your cash flow situation and adaptable to your particular business cycle.

In today's demanding market, more than seventy-five percent of U.S. Company's choose leasing as their method of acquiring equipment. Over one-third of all equipment purchased in 1998 was acquired through leasing. Some of the reasons the popularity of leasing is accelerating at such a fast pace is due to the fact that leasing:

• Conserves cash reserves
• Increases cash flow, as no down payment is required
• Preserves lines of credit
• Provides improved tax treatments
• Provides obsolescence protection
• Provides flexible payment plans
• Provides the latest technology
• Allows the equipment to pay for itself

Since it is the use of the equipment and not the ownership that generates revenues, equipment leasing has been proven to be a valuable financial solution for maximizing the growth and profitability of businesses.
