In deciding how to pay for an equipment acquisition, it is important to remember that …
It Is The Use, Not The Ownership, Of Equipment That Generates Profits
Ownership only makes sense if there is potential appreciation, as
with real estate, intellectual property or collectables. Ownership of
today's obsolescence-prone technology does not offer such benefits.
Most computers, for instance, are essentially worthless on the open
market in about two years.
Furthermore, equipment today becomes obsolete at a faster pace than
ever before, so your capital equipment inventory becomes worth less and
less, faster and faster. Ownership is, therefore, of even less value.
