“Grooveshark has been working with NFS Leasing for close to 3 years. We started looking for lease financing at a very early stage in our company’s history, and although we were a small young company, NFS took the time to listen to our story and provided much needed IT leasing at the time. NFS played an integral part in our initial growth phase, and much of the equipment we leased from NFS formed the backbone for what today is an on line music streaming service with 30 million registered users.”
-Colin Hostert CIO & CISO

FMV Operating Leases
FMV Leases have lower up-front costs, lower monthly payments and multiple tax advantages. Technically, the lessee does not own the equipment. In an FMV Lease, the lessee can finance up to 100% of the cost of the equipment including “soft costs†(transportation, delivery, installation and other deferred costs).
The payment is usually lower than a Capital Lease (which preserves cash flow) and also allows the business to deduct qualifying lease payments as operating expenses. An NFS FMV Lease includes Skip Payment Leases and Step Payment Leases. These leases can be tailored with flexible structures, tax advantages and end-of-term buyout options including lease extensions, return or purchase of equipment at fair market value.
+ Often most affordable, flexible lease type
+ Often most affordable, flexible lease type
+ A fixed monthly payment with little or no upfront costs
+ 100% financing may be available
+ Often used when a company does not want to retain the equipment at the end
+ Can help manage the cost of continuous upgrades and maintenance issues
+ May have significant tax and accounting benefits
Finance / $ Buy Out Leases
Payments are fixed and as equipment owner, you can depreciate the equipment and even take advantage of Section 179 incentives and Bonus Depreciation. NFS Finance / $ Buy Out Leases are a good option for financing equipment with a long useful life (such as yellow iron, manufacturing machinery, warehousing and racking, etc.) as the equipment may be depreciated on your balance sheet and you may be able to deduct the interest expenses from your taxes. See your tax consultant for details.
- + Often used for equipment that retains its value over time
- + Has a set lease term and fixed monthly payments
- + Equipment ownership is often transferred to the lessee
- + Equipment appears on the balance sheet as company assets
- + Often used when a company does not want to retain the equipment at the end
- + For tax purposes, using Section 179, it may be possible to deduct as a business expense
- + At the end of the lease term, the lessee purchases the equipment for $1
Sale and Leaseback
With an NFS Sale and Leaseback, you can monetize the equity in the owned assets – up to 80% of the fair market value of the owned assets. This is useful when a company needs to use the cash invested in an asset for other investments (where a higher rate of return can be generated), but the asset is still needed in order to operate their business. This provides the company immediate cash and then at the end of the term, the company may own the equipment outright again.
A sale leaseback can provide the opportunity to reinvest the newly acquired capital towards expansion, company expenses, purchasing inventory or many other business needs. Reimbursements can be structured as a lease or a loan depending on your unique business needs. Regardless of architecture, rest assured that your transaction will be funded quickly with flexible terms and a custom solution from NFS Leasing.
- + Often used when a company needs to generate cash/capital
- + Typically, has longer terms and lower payments
- + Can borrow up to X% of the value of asset
- + Retain control and operation of the equipment for duration of lease with few or no restrictions
- + May provide tax benefits
Working Capital Loans
NFS’ Working Capital Financing is secured only by the specific asset being financed, not all the present or future assets. Within these structures, the borrower is the title holder and NFS Leasing is a lien holder on the financed equipment. Advantages can include fixed rates for the full term; not tied to market rates that may rise over the term of the loan.
Working Capital Financing also have no covenants that, unlike most bank loans, allow you to borrow future funds when needed. Businesses who prefer retaining ownership during the life cycle of the transaction favor Working Capital Financing. These also offer tax advantages as the equipment may be depreciated on the business’s balance sheet and the business may be able to deduct the interest expense as well.
- + Fixed financing that is blended covering the equipment and the working capital
- + Simplified budgeting with predictable payments
- + Receive the working capital at the time of equipment funding
- + Unrestricted use of funds within your business

This enables the business to better match expenses with revenue and protect against obsolescence.
Other businesses may prefer to lease because their tax situation is such that it cannot benefit from the depreciation. It may also wish to maintain a debt-equity ratio that will attract new investment more easily, and leasing (rather than investment) will accomplish that.
And, those companies engaged in rapidly evolving technological market, use leased equipment under short-term leases permitting it the opportunity to exchange new and better equipment more rapidly than would with ownership of a capital lease.[/vc_toggle][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”80″ css=”.vc_custom_1569267482455{margin-top: 5px !important;margin-right: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 5px !important;margin-left: 5px !important;}” accent_color=”#ccb47a”][vc_toggle title=”Who is NFS Leasing Inc.?” style=”square_outline” size=”lg” css=”.vc_custom_1569259720378{margin-top: 5px !important;margin-right: 5px !important;margin-bottom: 5px !important;margin-left: 5px !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 15px !important;padding-right: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;border-left-color: #ffffff !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #ffffff !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #ffffff !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #ffffff !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]NFS is a privately held North American leader in Equipment Finance Leasing with more than 18 years’ experience.
