It’s no secret that medical devices and healthcare equipment are unbelievably expensive. Whether you operate a small medical office on a limited budget or a large hospital network with a need for hundreds of different machines, finding the resources to pay out-of-pocket for the latest state-of-the-art equipment can be tough. Fortunately, there is another option. Below, we’ve listed a several benefits of leasing equipment, courtesy of the folks at HealthLeadersMedia.com. Don’t go broke buying brand new; learn to lease.
- Tax treatment: Certain leases are considered a tax-deductible overhead expense by the IRS. In these cases, medical practices can “deduct the lease payments from income, thus reducing the net cost of the lease.”
- 100% financing: Because most leases do not require a down payment, it is “equivalent to 100% financing” which allows medical practices to save the capital that would have been spent on a down payment and reinvest that money into the business.
- Immediate write-off of the dollars spent: When a healthcare provider leases, payments are treated as expenses on their income statement, so “the technology solution does not have to be depreciated over an extended term.”
- Flexibility: Should a medical practice or hospital grow and their needs change, the lessee may able to add or upgrade equipment at any point in time during the lease term.
- Speed: Leasing allows medical practices to “respond quickly to new opportunities with minimal documentation and red tape.” Within a few hours, many leasing companies can process and approve applications.
