Here are some of the Fulcrum leasing advantages
Save organization funds for other things- You conserve your capital with 100% financing. If you invest the conserved capital in your business and compound the earnings, you offset a substantial portion of the leased payment. Many of our
leases allow you to include maintenance/service contracts, freight, installation
and other related services into the finance amount.
Let inflation work for you- You make inflation work for you not against you by
paying with tomorrow's progressively less valuable dollars. If you buy with today's
dollars, the tax dollars you recover tomorrow through depreciation are
progressively less useful to you.
Tax benefits can make leasing attractive- Over the length of the lease, the tax savings pay for the lease financing. Depreciation benefits enable you to deduct rental payments as regular operating expenses. Therefore, if you are subject to the alternative minimum tax, you can benefit because the lease payments are not considered as tax preference items. See Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 details below.
Leasing is cash flow management- Leasing keeps your lines of credit open. Credit is not tied up in equipment that could be used for other investments, working capital, short term needs or as a reserve for the future. Even if you could buy outright, payments over a period of time makes more fiscal sense, especially if you have an irregular stream of income.
Leasing can overcome budget limitations- Do you have a capital expenditure budget that has no room for the purchase of new equipment, but an operating budget that has plenty of room for low monthly lease payments? For as little as the first and last monthly payments, you can start using your new technology.
Leasing allows you to obtain the equipment you need- Why should you have to wait to gain the additional profits and benefits of your equipment? With a lease you pay for the equipment as you use it.

The US government has made it a great year to invest in technology. The recent Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 allows for bonus depreciation of assets used in conjunction with computer and telecommunications equipment acquired and placed into service by December 31, 2008.

This legislation also offers incentives to spur business investment.
The legislation would save businesses approximately $50 billion in near-term taxes through a temporary change to the tax code that will allow American businesses that buy new equipment this year to deduct an additional 50 percent of the cost of their investment in 2008. This will encourage businesses to expand and create new jobs now because buying equipment, software, and tangible property this year will dramatically lower their taxes.
The legislation also increases expensing for small businesses.
This means that a business placing less than $800,000 of equipment into service this year would be able to immediately deduct up to $250,000 – up from $128,000 – of its investment in 2008.
