The decision to finance business equipment through lease programs or by purchases is one of the most difficult and important decisions faced by businesses every day. Making the wrong choice can not only result in economic loss but significant disruption of business, loss of time and opportunity.

This teleconference will provide you with a comparison of the benefits and pitfalls of financing business equipment through equipment lease financings and by purchasing. The speakers will approach the issues from several perspectives, including legal, accounting and tax concerns, as well as practical issues. As our speakers have more than 60 years of combined experience in equipment finance, they will be able to present material based not only on their academic qualifications, but on their experience with all types of equipment û from sophisticated technology financings to over-the-road vehicles and the most basic office and manufacturing equipment.

The teleconference will define and compare types of leases and other financings, address key accounting and tax issues, and focus on legal and practical concerns. In addition to highlighting principal issues, weÆll propose practical solutions and compromises.
