Leasing is an alternative to outright purchase in which a buyer can obtain the use of an asset without the upfront cost. Depending upon the type of lease, the buyer may ultimately acquire ownership of the goods. Leasing, rental and hire purchase are alternatives which may suit some buyers when funds are limited, when the parties have different tax rates, or when use of the asset is needed for a short period of time. See also Hire Purchase and Rental.
