An operating lease typically shorter than capital lease, is a rental arrangement
whereby you can acquire the use of equipment for a fraction of its useful
life with SLCL retaining the risks of ownership at the end of the lease
term. Therefore, unlike traditional leases you can either renew the lease
or return the equipment to SLCL at the end of lease without any residual
obligation. As the initial cost of the item is not substantially recouped
by SLCL during the initial lease term, the same asset can be leased out
to other customers during its useful life.
Businesses constantly strive to achieve and maintain a healthy financial
position. Since Operating Lease are off balance sheet mode of financing,
therefore, is ideal for improving key financial ratios such as ROA and
Debt Equity ratio. Since operating lease is not required to be capitalized,
it lowers the asset base of your company and Debt Equity consequently
return on asset is increased.
