Ardent’s flexible lease purchasing service enables you to implement
major purchasing decisions without creating cash flow issues or depleting
capital.
Leasing is a contract between a funder (Siemens Financial Services)
and the client for the acquisition and use of an asset and/or solution
and any associated costs, such as maintenance.
The client selects the asset required and the funder buy the asset
via the supplier (Ardent). The client then makes a series of payments
(usually monthly or quarterly) directly to the funder over a defined
period of years, in return for which they have the right to use the
equipment. The lease term is normally set to reflect the underlying
asset's expected useful life.
Conserves cash reserves - leasing enables you to secure the equipment
solution most suited to your business, without making a substantial
lump sum cash payment, which could be used to better effect elsewhere
in the business.
Maintains credit lines for other use - acquire the solution you need
without affecting other credit lines, such as loans and overdrafts.
This ensures that further borrowing, if required, will be easier.
spread the cost over a number of regular payments. Payments can be
set to match individual requirements, including seasonal cash flow
circumstances.
payments are fixed for the term of the contract, protecting your business
from the effects of changing interest rates. Knowing the amount of
future payments enables more accurate budgeting and cash flow projections.
And because payments are fixed the true cost of leasing diminishes
over time as the value of money depreciates.
payments can be arranged to meet individual budgets, roll-out schedules
and/or cash flow requirements.
leasing payments may be offset against taxable profits reducing the
net cost of leasing the equipment.
The flexibility of a lease allows you to upgrade to more advanced
or appropriate solutions as your business needs dictate. In many cases
this can be achieved without an increase in monthly or quarterly payments.
when you lease you are not limited to acquiring only what you can
afford to pay at the time. Monthly payments enable you to select the
solution which is most beneficial for your business at the time you
most need it.
by returning used equipment to the supplier at the end of the lease
term, you do not need to be concerned about disposal issues or costs.
in most cases, all of the costs of the asset or equipment installation
can be catered for in your leasing arrangement, including all hardware,
software, installation and maintenance costs. Equipment and services
from a variety of suppliers can be financed and rolled up into a single
simple arrangement - simplifying your administration and streamlining
your payments.
payments can be made by direct debit, minimizing the administration
required of you.
