Why leasing is right for the retail sector

For any retailer, creating the right look and ambience is essential in order to make the right impression on customers. What is more, getting the right look doesn’t have to mean a large capital outlay. Businesses can finance an entire shop refit through a lease agreement via a reputable leasing company. This is where we come in! In this blog I will be discussing why leasing is right for the retail sector.

From opticians to convenience stores and cake shops to jewellers, leasing can offer a flexible and tax efficient solution. This is to all types of businesses in the retail sector.  Therefore from planning and design to interior finishes and fixtures, a lease agreement can help your plans to refit. Alternatively, for opening a new outlet without compromising your cash flow.

Leasing provides businesses with an alternative new credit line separate from banks. This therefore enables banking and overdraft lines to be kept free for any future cash flow issues or unexpected problems. And lease payments can be set against profit, therefore potentially reducing tax bills.

For a small initial payment, the asset you require is yours to use straightaway. Leasing enables you to pay for what your retail business needs over a fixed period of time. This helps you spread the cost over the life of the equipment and budget effectively. It prevents having to delay the implementation of plans until sufficient funds become available.

The lease itself can be tailored to suit your business. Agreements can be over an agreed period for example two years. Repayments can be made monthly, quarterly or annually. Also by direct debit or invoice, whichever is most convenient. You can also match payments to your seasonal cash flow. You can also source equipment from multiple suppliers.
