Why Lease Farm Equipment?

When it comes to the decision of buying or leasing farm equipment, the main factor that needs to be considered is your cash flow. Leasing equipment over buying it usually results in better cash flow opportunities. As you will see below, there are multiple advantages to leasing equipment if the situation is correct, including lower upfront payments. When you lease farm equipment, you are still able to trade which can further reduce payments, add equity, or receive cash back. Do you already know that leasing farm equipment is a solution you want to explore? Find the Koenig Equipment location nearest you and contact our team today.
