We leased our fleet of trucks for over 30 years,unlimited mileage,negotiated price.we used 100% of lease as business expenses versus a percentage of outright purchase price.The capital saved was used to create and initiate larger projects.it also let us pay supplier accounts in full every month on the 20 th. with an negotiated additional discount for early payment of another 3%.All maintenance costs were included in the lease.We knew what our profit margin was every month and it was hugely to our advantage to lease.we ran the numbers leasing versus purchasing numerous times and it never changed.It usually doesn't work very well for individuals,but we sublet out personal vehicles from our company at a discounted price so in that case it did.
