What is a Purchase Option?

An end-of-term right to buy a leased asset for a set price or fair market value.

For example, at the end of a 5-year equipment lease, the lessee can exercise a purchase option to buy the forklift for a pre-agreed price of $15,000 — well below its estimated market value of $22,000 — allowing the business to acquire a well-maintained asset at a favourable price.
