What's Included

While virtually all lessors will lease tangible equipment, not all are willing to add soft assets to the lease. Examples of "soft" or "intangible" assets include software, warranties, service, training, installation, and shipping costs.

Why is this? From a lessor's standpoint, it's much easier to repossess a computer or copier in the event that you default as opposed to software or shipping costs.

You'll want to make sure to inquire early on about your lessor's policies if soft asset financing is important to you.
