An equipment lease is a finance rental arrangement between an equipment owner (the lessor) and a business owner (the lessee). The lessee gets to use the equipment by paying the lessor monthly lease payments over a mutually agreed-upon term length. At the end of the lease term, the lessee may have the option to purchase the equipment for a pre-determined price. Leasing often provides flexibility in upgrading to newer equipment at the end of the lease term. It can
benefit businesses that require the latest Life Sciences technology or want to avoid the risk of equipment obsolescence.at require
