Equipment Loan vs. Lease for a Patio Build-Out: A Champaign, IL Restaurant Example
Illustration only, invented figures: a restaurant wants $28,000 of patio heaters, furniture and a bar cart. A loan at an invented annual rate of 9.0% over 60 months comes to about $581 a month, about $34,874 in all, and the restaurant owns the items. An invented lease at $545 a month for 60 months totals $32,700, and at the end the restaurant returns the items, renews or pays a buyout set in the lease (our arithmetic).
The lease costs less in total in this invented case only because the restaurant does not keep the items. Add the buyout to the lease total before comparing, and check who carries insurance and maintenance under each.
Equipment also shows up in a daycare adding a classroom and a hotel replacing FF&E. Compare equipment financing with the other five funding types, or read the Champaign, IL figures and all trade pages.
