Why lease your equipment?


Vehicles and equipment are getting more expensive. The average business can go into “budget shock” just doing the math on a new piece of equipment. A substantial down payment and high monthly payments can make it difficult to purchase outright.

Leasing allows you to get the equipment you need while reducing the impact on your company’s cash flow.

3 great reasons to lease:

  • Protect your cash flow by not spending the full price upfront.
  • Pay tax over time, on each monthly payment, instead of all at once.
  • Conserve your operating line for other priorities.

How does vehicle leasing work?

When you lease a vehicle or fleet of vehicles, you can reduce the monthly cost of ownership and avoid having to pay a lot of money upfront. Through a lease, you pay the difference between the initial cost of the vehicle and the residual value of that car after an agreed upon amount of time. That difference is known as “depreciation.”

Frequently asked questions

In order to properly register, license, and insure your equipment, a power of attorney may be required. This document permits you to act on behalf of Prospera Equipment Financing when establishing insurance and registration.

If you require a BC Insurance Power of Attorney, please call Westland Insurance at 778-670-9171 or email mapleridgeroad@westlandinsurance.ca for all other inquiries; please contact us at 604-528-3802.
You are responsible for insuring the equipment with the amount of coverage required by your lease.
Most equipment leasing contracts require that you prove that the leased equipment is insured. Your insurance company should provide you with a copy of the policy. If you do not have a copy of the policy you must contact your insurance company to obtain a copy. This should then be emailed to leasing@prospera.ca. Be sure to include your name, lease number and a phone number at which you can be reached.
You will need to repair the equipment and do regular maintenance. Lack of maintenance will erode your equity in the equipment.

We can provide your lease number to you by email, phone or fax. To request your lease number:

When you update your bank accounts, we must add your new information to our records to ensure that your account does not go into arrears. Send a copy of a voided cheque (write “VOID” across the front of the cheque) for your new account by email to leasing@prospera.ca. Be sure to include your name, lease number and a phone number at which you can be reached. Note that it can take up to 5 business days to update our records.
A Prospera Equipment Financing representative must authorize the deferment of payments. To defer your payment contact your account manager or, if you do not know who your account manager is, request a payment deferment in the following ways:

  • Phone us toll free at 1 (844) 528-3802, or
  • Email your request to leasing@prospera.ca
This depends partly on whether it is a closed-end or open-end lease. Our Account Executives will develop a program with you that best suits your business or personal equipment and financial requirements.
