We make sure you’re clear about the number of payments, the total monthly payment due and any additional costs related to insurance, taxes and other charges. We’re upfront about any additional costs associated with the lease or finance transaction that may occur during the course of the agreement term.

ADVANTAGES OF EQUIPMENT FINANCING
Most Koala Capital programs require little or no money down to fund your equipment financing or working capital loan. Although the requirement is usually one payment down plus documentation, we also offer “skip payments” for qualified applicants to help defer the upfront costs when needed.
A cash reserve can help your business take on new growth opportunities or weather hard times, and should be sufficient for you to feel comfortable running your business. We suggest speaking to your CPA or financial adviser to determine the right amount of cash reserve for your business so as to not tie up cash that could be used for expansion, or potentially limit profits and growth.
Most business owners need to update their essential equipment every 3 to 5 years – some more frequently. Leasing your equipment instead of buying can often enable a business owner to acquire more and better equipment than would have been otherwise possible. Certain programs may also allow for technology upgrades and/or replacements within the term of the lease contract.
Koala is not permitted to give tax advice – therefore we recommend that our clients consult with their CPA or tax adviser about maximizing available financing tax incentives. For example Section 179 of the IRS Code was enacted to help small businesses by allowing them to take a depreciation deduction for certain assets (capital expenditures) in one year, rather than depreciating them over a longer period of time. Taking a deduction on an asset in its first year is called a “Section 179 deduction”. Please discuss this and other tax incentives further with your CPA or tax adviser.
All businesses have fluctuations caused by external factors – for example the seasons, the economy, or staff availability. And most businesses update their essential equipment every 3 to 5 years. Financing your business equipment can therefore preserve capital and maintain cash flow in order to better plan for fluctuations and budgetary requirements.
Business credit takes time to build but may eventually open doors to greater amounts of capital in the future. Equipment financing and working capital can help to build your business credit profile. As with personal credit, strong business credit can lead to more favorable finance terms – it can help you get approved for a lease, business loan or business line of credit, and possibly help you to negotiate terms from vendors.
