Since that time, it has become much more popular, with Ontario and Quebec accounting for more than half of the total amount financed, followed by Alberta and British Columbia. While asset finance is not yet as popular in the prairies and Atlantic Canada, its adoption is growing quickly according to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cfla-acfl.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canadian Finance &amp; Leasing Association<\/a>.<\/p><p>The reasons for this expansion are obvious. Take, for example, an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/ca\/sectors\/agricultural-loans\/\">agricultural business<\/a>\u00a0that wishes to acquire a large piece of machinery. Rather than saving up the money or raising it from investors, they could use an equipment lease to obtain the machinery immediately and put it to work right away. This, in turn, helps them bring in the additional revenue they need to make the lease payments.<\/p><p>Asset finance can help you obtain the hard assets you need to incrementally grow your business and ratchet up your <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/ca\/business-glossary\/cash-flow\/\">cash flow<\/a>. You get to benefit from the asset as you pay for it. Your capital is not locked up in a large purchase that may be <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/ca\/business-glossary\/depreciation\/\">depreciating<\/a> in value, and since your borrowing is secured by the asset itself, you often pay less in interest and fees.<\/p><p>There are a wide variety of asset finance companies in Canada, and many specialize in specific industries or types of finance agreements.\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/app.swoopfunding.ca\/stage?http_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fswoopfunding.com%2F&amp;last_page_visited=https%3A%2F%2Fswoopfunding.com%2Fca%2Fbusiness-loans%2Fasset-finance%2F&amp;deviceId=JWaIWz6xZw4uqt9LiDVOZ8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Join Swoop<\/a><\/u>\u00a0to start reviewing the best options for your needs in minutes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d58c48 question elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0d58c48\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What types of asset finance are there?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e44f46f answer elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e44f46f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are six main types of asset finance:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Hire purchase.\u00a0<\/strong>This option allows your company to buy a new asset in instalments instead of paying a large, upfront sum. You own the vehicle or equipment once you finish making the payments. In most cases, the asset appears as a positive item on your balance sheet from the start of the agreement, but the provider owns the asset until the last instalment is paid. This means you cannot sell the asset during the term. A small fee, called the Purchase Option Fee is often required to transfer ownership of the asset to you. With hire purchase, you are responsible for the asset\u2019s upkeep.<\/li><\/ol><ol start=\"2\"><li><strong>Finance lease.\u00a0<\/strong>A finance lease, sometimes also known as a capital lease, is an agreement where a leasing firm buys a business asset on behalf of your company and then rents it out to you. You make monthly payments until you cover the cost of the equipment, plus interest. You can then choose to extend the rental period, return the equipment, or sell the asset to a third party on behalf of the leasing firm. In some cases, you may share in the proceeds from the sale of the asset. Note that although you may never own the asset, you are responsible for insurance and maintenance costs during the rental period.<\/li><\/ol><ol start=\"3\"><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/ca\/business-loans\/asset-finance\/equipment-leasing\/\">Equipment leasing<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0Equipment leasing is like finance leasing except you have the option to own the equipment at the end of the contract. Over a fixed term you rent the equipment from a vendor or a leasing firm and make regular payments. The leasing firm is responsible for the maintenance of the equipment. At the end of the rental period, you can extend the lease, return the asset to the lender, upgrade the item, or buy it outright by making a balloon payment. Depending on the size of your company and its needs, you can rent everything from laptops and printers to commercial vehicles and machinery.\u00a0<\/li><\/ol><p>Because equipment lease agreements are based on the depreciation of the asset, not the full price, monthly lease payments are typically less than hire purchase.<\/p><ol start=\"4\"><li><strong>Operating leasing.<\/strong>\u00a0Although similar to finance leasing, an operating lease is usually used for specialized equipment that a company only wants for a limited period or that it never wants to own outright. You rent the asset over the short or medium term, making regular payments for the time it is in your possession. One of the biggest advantages of this type of lease is that you can upgrade the equipment regularly, sometimes even during the rental period.<\/li><\/ol><ol start=\"5\"><li><strong>Asset refinance.\u00a0<\/strong>Asset refinancing falls into two categories. In the first, a company pledges its assets as security against a loan. This means the lender may sell the assets to recover their funds if you default on the loan. Once the principal, fees and interest have been repaid, the asset returns free and clear to you. Buildings, land, future contracts, unsold stock, plant, and equipment can all be used as collateral. Because the loan is secured by hard assets, costs are usually lower than they are with other types of business financing.<\/li><\/ol><p>The second category of asset refinance is called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/ca\/business-loans\/asset-finance\/asset-based-lending\/\">asset-based lending<\/a>, or sale and hire purchase back. In this type of agreement, you sell a hard asset to a specialist finance company for an agreed lump sum. You then lease back the asset from the finance provider, thus repaying the lump sum. This circular arrangement allows you to free up cash immediately and pay it back in small increments over time. You also get to continue using the asset during the repayment period. Once the loan is repaid, the finance company owns the asset, and you may choose to continue renting it, buy it back or walk away.<\/p><ol start=\"6\"><li><strong>Contract hire.<\/strong>\u00a0This is strictly for vehicles, and commonly known as vehicle asset finance. It\u2019s a good option if you want to save time and effort sourcing and maintaining your own fleet of vehicles. With this type of asset financing, a provider finds and maintains the vehicles for the business, who then pays regular instalments over an agreed lease term. Fleet management services may be included in the contract hire costs. At the end of the leasing period, the provider assumes responsibility for the disposal of the vehicles.<\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
