Options for Financing ESS Technologies, Inc. Packaging Machinery
ESS Technologies, Inc. has partnered with
American Packaging
Capital, Inc. to offer financing solutions for purchasing new
packaging machinery. Three leasing options and a choice of lease
terms allow for a payment to fit any budget.
Financing Can Benefit Your Business
- Use vs. Ownership: The value of equipment is in its use, not
its ownership. Financing enables you to pay for the equipment
with future profit instead of working capital.
- Affordability: Financing results in low monthly payments
over 1-5 years, and the equipment can be purchased for a nominal
cost at the end of the lease term.
- Fixed Payments: Fixed payments avoid the uncertainty of
variable (floating) interest rates typical of bank financing.
- Cash Conservation: Monthly payments leave cash available for
operational expenses or seasonal cash flow needs.
- Preserve Credit Lines: Borrowing from the bank shrinks
available credit lines. Financing maintains credit lines for
non-equipment uses.
Lease Options
Operating Lease (Fair Market Value Purchase Option): At the end
of the lease term, the lessee has the option to purchase the
equipment for its Fair Market Value.
Lease payments are charged to Operating Budget - which avoids
Capital Budget constraints.
Lease payments are generally lower than all other financing options - and are 100% deductible against taxable income.
Leasing can greatly reduce the Cost Recovery Period for equipment.
Operating Leases are Off-Balance Sheet transactions and improve most financial ratios, including ROA, ROI, and Debt/Net
Worth measurements.
Operating Lease payments are not an Alternative Minimum Tax
item.
10% and $1.00 Purchase Option Leases: At the end of the lease term,
the lessee has the option to purchase the equipment for 10% of the
original equipment cost (10% Option) or for $1.00 ($1 Option). Both
options are:
Fixed purchase options.
Generally treated as a booked asset and liability on financial
statements.
Fully depreciable for tax purposes (under MACRS) and eligible to
take advantage of the tax benefits provided in the 2009 American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act. (Click

Preserves bank lines of credit for operations, real estate, or other
capital expenditures.
