5. Chiropractic Equipment Leasing lingo.

As you evaluate your financing options, it is important to focus on terms, not price. Two Chiropractic x-ray machines may have the same purchase price, but considerations such as interest payments, make/model, etc., may make one a much better value for your money. Keep the same thing in mind when you shop for a lease.

When you purchase Chiropractic Tables,Chiropractic Equipment, or a Chiropractic X-Ray Unit-whether by an outright investment or installment financing, in 1998 you are able to expense up to $18,500 of the cost of the new equipment placed in service during the year. This deduction rises gradually until it reaches $25,000 in 2002. The remaining cost is depreciated over the Chiropractic Tables,Chiropractic Equipment, or a Chiropractic X-Ray Unit tax life.

When you purchase Chiropractic Tables,Chiropractic Equipment, or a Chiropractic X-Ray Unit rather than lease, you own the equipment from the start, but you are depleting your working capital and reducing cash flow. This can leave your practice vulnerable to the whims of the economy. It can also prevent you from taking advantage of opportunities because you lack liquidity. It may be more beneficial to use your discretionary income to fund your pension plan, rather than for the purchase of equipment.

1. Leasing/Financing vs. Buying Your Chiropractic Tables,Chiropractic Equipment, or a Chiropractic X-Ray Unit

Will you lease/finance Chiropractic Tables,Chiropractic Equipment, or a Chiropractic X-Ray Unit or will you buy? Both leasing and buying have merits and drawbacks.

Buying with your own funds requires digging into your capital, depletes cash flow and can be most costly in the end when you calculate the opportunity cost of the purchase.

Leasing is a popular choice among health care providers. This makes it possible to pay for equipment from current production, rather than past earnings. Thus, leasing is attractive to small or private practices.

For the small practice, it makes sense to lease expensive items such as Chiropractic Tables,Chiropractic Equipment, or a Chiropractic X-Ray Unit. Less expensive instruments and pieces of equipment (costing under $500) are good candidates for purchase.

Chiropractic Tables,Chiropractic Equipment, or a Chiropractic X-Ray Unit is constantly upgraded to meet increasingly stringent professional standards and requires routine replacement for a practice to remain up-to-date. While state-of-the-art equipment is imperative for modern practices, it will eventually need to be replaced and reselling outdated equipment is nearly impossible.

In the past, when health care providers leased or financed equipment instead of buying outright, it often meant they had bad credit. This is not the case today, as many smart business people see that leasing or installment financing offers substantial tax benefits. Leased equipment, listed as an expense on your income statement (as opposed to an asset, like the equipment you own) is usually tax-deductible. One exception to this rule, however, involves the relatively new tax law, IRS Section 179. Section 179 gives small business owners a break in that it allows them to deduct up to $18,500 (in 1998) of business asset purchases as current expenses. This allows for an immediate write-off of capital assets. So depending on the amount of equipment you need, whether you lease, finance or buy depends on the cost of the equipment. Your accountant will advise you on this issue.

2. Evaluate the lender Before Purchasing your Chiropractic Tables,Chiropractic Equipment, or a Chiropractic X-Ray Unit.

An external lender with experience financing practices like yours will put costs in perspective and will also help you be more productive in your practice.

You'll need extra attention in the early stages of financing your Chiropractic Tables,Chiropractic Equipment, or a Chiropractic X-Ray Unit investment and will want to work with a qualified finance company.

There are several questions you should ask to evaluate whether the finance company has the experience necessary to guide you through tough financial decisions on your Chiropractic Tables,Chiropractic Equipment, or a Chiropractic X-Ray Unit purchase:
