Operating Lease

Cash Flow and Taxes

1.		An operating lease is ideal when use, not ownership, of the equipment is important.
2.		Operating leases are off-balance-sheet transactions.
3.		Cash flow is typically enhanced through lower monthly lease payments.
4.		Operating leases typically have fair-market-value buyouts in which ownership is negotiated at the end of the lease.
5.		You are able to write off 100% of each monthly lease payment.
