Equipment Leasing for Ontario Businesses

Ontario businesses access the equipment they need through Finance That’s structured commercial leasing programs — without large upfront costs, without tying up working capital, and without disrupting cash flow. Whether you’re a contractor in Brampton replacing a fleet of dump trucks or a dental clinic in Toronto outfitting a new location, our leasing specialists structure the right lease for your equipment and business profile within 24–48 hours.

Ontario Businesses Need Equipment to Grow But Upfront Costs Block the Way

Most Ontario operators face the same challenge: the equipment needed to take on more work, serve more clients, or expand operations costs far more than available cash flow allows.
A Mississauga construction company bidding on a $2M contract can’t wait three weeks for equipment. A manufacturing business in Windsor can’t afford to tie up $300,000 in owned machinery when that capital is needed for payroll and materials. A hospitality business in Ottawa replacing commercial kitchen equipment can’t absorb the full cost in a single payment without disrupting operations.
Traditional equipment purchasing paths often require strong balance sheets, multiple years of financials, and capital reserves that most small and mid-sized Ontario businesses don’t maintain. Ownership also transfers full depreciation risk and residual value exposure onto the balance sheet — capital locked in aging assets that generates no operational return.

Equipment Leasing Options for Ontario Businesses

Every Ontario business has different cash flow needs, tax positions, and operational requirements. Finance That offers six lease structures so you access equipment on terms that make sense for your business.

Operating Lease

Use the equipment your Ontario business needs through fixed monthly lease payments without a large capital outlay. Under an operating lease, residual value at term end is retained by us — removing depreciation risk from your books. At lease end, return, upgrade to a newer model, or purchase at fair market value. Structured for equipment with active upgrade cycles or shorter useful lives.

Capital Loan

Access your equipment through monthly lease payments and take ownership at the end of the lease term through a nominal purchase option. Finance That structures capital lease terms from 12 to 84 months with fixed payments that align to your budget and cash flow. Capital leases record the asset on your balance sheet and may qualify for Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) deductions — your accountant can advise on the applicable treatment.

Lease-To-Own

Start with a structured lease and purchase your equipment at term end for $1. Common among GTA contractors and Southern Ontario manufacturers who want the cash flow flexibility of leasing with a defined path to ownership built into the agreement from day one.

Sale & LeaseBack

If your Ontario business already owns equipment, a sale and leaseback arrangement unlocks the capital tied up in those assets. We purchase the equipment at fair market value and lease it back to you immediately — converting a fixed asset into working capital while your operations continue uninterrupted. A practical tool for balance sheet optimization and capital redeployment.

Equipment Lease Renewal

At the end of your current lease term, renew for updated equipment or a restructured lease that better fits your current operation. Ontario businesses use lease renewals to stay current on equipment technology and capabilities without re-entering a full purchase decision.

Seasonal Payment Structure

Ontario's construction, agriculture, and landscaping sectors operate on seasonal revenue cycles. Finance That structures skip-payment and seasonal lease schedules built around how Ontario businesses actually earn — aligning payment obligations to active revenue periods.

Why Canadian Businesses Choose Equipment Leasing

Equipment leasing provides advantages that go beyond simply acquiring assets.

Preserve Working Capital

Equipment leasing eliminates the need for large upfront capital expenditures. Instead of paying $50,000 to $500,000+ in cash for equipment, you make manageable monthly payments that align with your cash flow.

Fast Approvals & Funding

Finance That's network of commercial lenders provides credit decisions within 24-48 hours, and funding typically occurs within 1-3 business days after approval.

Flexible Payment Structures

Equipment financing can be structured to match your business's revenue cycles and cash flow patterns. Options include seasonal payment schedules, deferred start dates, and custom payment arrangements that align with your operational calendar.

Tax-Deductible Payments

Equipment lease payments are generally fully deductible as operating expenses, providing immediate tax benefits rather than multi-year depreciation schedules.

Equipment Upgrade Paths

Operating leases provide built-in upgrade paths that allow businesses to refresh equipment at the end of lease terms without the burden of selling or disposing of outdated assets.

Preserve Existing Credit Lines

Equipment financing is typically secured by the equipment itself, which means it doesn't consume your existing bank lines of credit or lines of credit. This preserves your borrowing capacity for other business needs.
