Replacing essential equipment
Illustrative example — not a real client result
Comparing equipment finance with business cash-flow needs.
The challenge
A business needs replacement equipment but wants to preserve cash for everyday operating expenses.
The approach
- Identify the equipment cost, expected use and useful life.
- Compare finance repayments, fees and any final payment.
- Consider the effect on cash flow and discuss tax treatment with an accountant.
Example outcome
In this example, the owner can compare funding structures against their operating budget.
A smaller regular repayment may still involve fees or a final payment.
