An equipment Capital lease is an agreement in which one party (the lessor) gives the other party (the lessee) the right to have and use (but not own) the lessors equipment for a period greater than one year. Equipment purchased under a capital lease are capitalized and depreciated on a company’s financial statement. Payments are typically made monthly and have an interest expense component.

There are companies that specifically offer Equipment Leasing options. Banks will also offer equipment financing.

An equipment Operating lease is an agreement in which one party (the lessor) gives the other party (the lessee) the right to have and use (but not own) the lessors equipment for a certain period of one year or less. Operating lease payments, which are usually made monthly, are treated as an operating expense.

An equipment line of credit is the use of a loan to purchase significant assets for a business (such as an HVAC system). Under a line of credit, funds are drawn as needed and repaid like a loan (principal plus interest).
