A financial lease, also known as a capital lease, is a long-term agreement in which the lessee takes on most of the risks and rewards of ownership.

A financial lease allows a company to use an asset for most of its useful life without purchasing it outright, especially if the company lacks sufficient collateral for a secured loan.

According to IRS rules, financial leases may offer tax benefits because lease payments are often deductible as business expenses.

Consider Mia, the finance manager at a construction company that needs an excavator for a long-term project. 

Instead of buying it outright, Mia enters into a financial lease.

She manages maintenance and insurance while making regular lease payments. 

At the end of the lease, ownership will transfer to her company either directly or through a bargain purchase agreement.

Financial leases are usually non-cancelable and fully amortized, with payments covering the asset’s cost and providing a return for the lessor. 

Despite higher total costs, financial leases are preferred for their accessibility as they provide essential assets without significant upfront expenses and collateral security.
