Purchase |
 |
 |
Operating expense - payments can be spread over the useful life of the equipment |
|
Capital expenditure required - often needs to be budgeted |
 |
 |
 |
Faster approval - often by line management |
|
Slower approval - often needs Board approval |
 |
 |
 |
Pay as you use - as equipment earns its keep |
|
Pay upfront - before any benefits are gained |
 |
 |
 |
Valuable capital can be freed for profit producing opportunities |
|
Valuable capital consumed making it unavailable for better ROI opportunities |
 |
 |
 |
Risk sits with the financier |
|
All risk sits with the owner |
 |
 |
 |
Faster ROI - spreading and expensing payments means cost benefits can be aligned with a smooth cash flow |
|
Slower ROI - with a cash purchase it takes much longer before the cost benefits exceed cash outflow |
 |
 |
 |
Upgrade as you need to - you have the flexibility, during and at the end of the agreement, to replace unsuitable equipment, without having the disposal risks and costs |
|
Depreciation and lack of capital can adversely affect the ability to upgrade - if the book value exceeds the fair market value, you incur a loss on disposal |
 |
 |
 |
Cash flow friendly - fixed affordable payments that smooth and simplify cash flow management |
|
Large cash out flow - cash is the life blood of any business and needs to be conserved to ensure existing financial obligations can be met |
 |
 |
 |
Maintain momentum - Dexion Financial Services can help you create a facility to acquire new technology solutions, without having to find the capital |
|
Likely to impede progress - materials handling spending may have to compete with more business critical demands for capital |
 |
 |
 |
Dexion Financial Services is a specialist equipment financier - customising the right "package" and generally can finance the entire solution, not just the storage equipment components |
|
May not be able to fund installation and related services - lack of capital or inability of traditional funders to finance intangibles, may restrict the ability to finance the "total solution" |
