Equipment and Software Leasing

March 2008

Keeping your IT systems up to date and maintained in today's rapidly changing business environment can tie up valuable working capital.

Leasing through First Line can offer a cost-effective and flexible solution. Potential business benefits include:

• Simplified cashflow planning, resulting from regular fixed payments once equipment is in place, rather than deposits and up-front cash outlay
  

• 100% financing to cover hardware and software. Services such as network design and installation, project management, user training and maintenance can also be included

• 100% of repayments written off as operating expense. Savings of up to 30% of total capital cost can be realised
  

• Flexibility to upgrade or add equipment in line with business needs

• 100% tax allowance on full amount paid

• Additional source of credit. Any existing arrangements you may have are safeguarded

• Off-balance sheet finance, reduces company debt & improving financial performance ratios
