A lease keeps title with the lessor and can lower the monthly payment, with a buyout, renewal or return option at the end.

Lenders look at the practice or clinic financials, licensing, and the vendor or service agreement. Installation, software and training costs can sometimes be included, subject to lender approval.
Expect to provide a credit application, recent business bank statements, the dealer quote or bill of sale with serial number and age, and financial statements or tax returns for larger amounts.

Tax treatment of Karl Storz equipment
In Canada, the CCA class depends on the asset and how it is used. Your accountant can confirm the right class. With a loan, you generally claim capital cost allowance and deduct interest. With a true operating lease, lease payments are generally deductible instead. See the CRA classes of depreciable property. In the USA, Section 179 and bonus depreciation may apply; see IRS Publication 946. Always confirm with your accountant.
End-of-term options on a Karl Storz lease
A $1 buyout lease is built for ownership: you keep the machine for a nominal amount at the end. A fair market value lease usually has a lower payment, and at the end you can buy the equipment at its market value, return it or upgrade. Read the return conditions, such as hour limits and wear standards, before you sign.
