Leasing or buying – which is more profitable for business?

Leasing or buying – which is more profitable for business? Why is this question becoming increasingly relevant?

In 2025, Ukrainian business operates in conditions of uncertainty: currency fluctuations, high bank rates, limited access to financing. In such a situation, the choice between purchasing machinery/equipment and leasing can be decisive.

What is more profitable: investing the entire amount at once or preserving working capital?

Comparison: Buying vs. Leasing

Purchase:

  • Full payment of the cost immediately
  • Equipment becomes your property
  • Expenses are deducted from the company’s balance sheet
  • It is more difficult to update the equipment after 2–3 years
  • Requires large one-time investments

Leasing:

  • Payment in installments (an advance of 20–30% is enough)
  • You use the property without freezing funds
  • The property can be redeemed at the end of the term
  • Monthly payments are evenly distributed
  • Easy exit from the agreement, equipment update or replacement

Tax benefits of leasing:

  1. Leasing costs are included in the gross expenses of the enterprise.
  2. The leasing object is depreciated – reducing the tax burden.
  3. All related services (insurance, registration) are also included in the monthly payments – without “hidden” costs.

For whom is leasing more profitable?

  • Startups and SMEs that need to maintain liquidity
  • Growing companies that are expanding or updating their technical base
  • Companies with seasonal employment – leasing is easily adaptable to changing loads
  • Enterprises that work with grants or subsidies – it is convenient to combine with support programs
